Me and Julio Down By the Schoolyard

Of an Indiana summer's evening. Thanks to Kelly, Sam an Donny for helping out.
Recorded on a Canon Rebel T3i and a Zoom H2.

[@thomasmoores8239]

Josh, you have the coolest friends.

[@jessicacosiguitar]

True!

[@kbstickstube]

Dangit, it's 1:30 am and now I have to listen to everything you ever did.

know that feeling bro! I've been listening to this guy for almost 8 months now, and I still find new videos and he always surprises me! Gotta love Josh Turner

[@Luna_and_Miles]

Lol :) It's 2am where I am now and I am listening to all their vids. :)

[@CCGrace-vm1ys]

Agreed!

[@phbartoli]

Just discovered this dude last night with his rippin version of Folsom Blues. 20 songs later and I am still freaking out, what an incredible talent!

[@almogchaim7943]

ME HAHAHAHAHAHHA

[@briankuhl9314]

What every campfire sing along sounds like in your memories.

[@Gigi13396]

I love all of this and all of you! But "suddenly appearing fiddle guy" just pushes it over the edge. Mwah!

[@bucksellers5364]

Stumbled upon you Josh while surfing music videos recently...You are simply amazing...I'm a a singer\guitarist since many years before your birth ...I grew up with a guitar in my hands...You make me sick...lol...Even tho I have somewhere around 30 years of experience more than you I will NEVER come close to accomplishing the things you have...Your skills are nothing short of amazing...Best of luck to you young man....I know you definetly don't need luck as I'm sure you have spent countless hours to get to where you are today...Your hard work will pay off ...as it should...I have spent many hours listening to your videos the last few weeks and just wanted to drop you a very special thank you for sharing your wonderful gift with the rest of us not - so fortunet ones....There are many different levels of talent......You are in a league all of your own....I definetly don't wont to downplay your dedication and hard work...But the level of talent you possess will allow you to do things the rest of us can only dream of....Best wishes....I look forward to watching you carve your notch into musical history...It is definetly an honor to witness ...Many, many thanks...Buck Sellers

[@davepeterschmidt5818]

Buck Sellers Very well said. Case in point, I recently found Josh's rendition of "Valerie" (with Amber Taylor Music). I've been listening to his exquisite playing on that video and comparing it to the instrumentals on other covers of the song, as well as those of Amy Winehouse's band and other "pro" musicians. Josh's work is head and shoulders above any other I've heard. Truth be told, the vocals by Amber Taylor Music are beautiful as well). It's a pleasure and privilege to be able to listen to the fine music Josh and his friends are creating. Keep it up Josh. Love your work!

[@bucksellers5364]

Dave Peterschmidt I couldn't agree more Peter.... This young man has a gift the rest of us would gladly die for...not to mention the female acclomishments ,,,,,,,,,THAT ANYONE would die for........lol....Amber and Taylor music...I'd give ANYTHING to sing with either of them.....Or ....well ....nevermind......I really don't want to be disrespectful...in any way.....shape or form....Two young ladies that have the talent that ANYONE would die for......You are a VERY Talented group of individuals.....That ANYONE would love to be a part of...PERIOD...please don't ever forget me....I promise I'll never forget you ladies....EVER ...Never, EVER ....You ARE AWESOME !!!! PERIOD !!!!

[@jespellbnd]

Very eloquently said Buck Sellers. I second all you said. Josh and company are exceptionally talented in playing their instruments and their musical tastes.

[@bucksellers5364]

jespellbnd Well thank you jespellbnd !! I have been called many things but eloquent is not one of them !!! ....lol....These kids are amazing to say the least !...I'm sure you can tell I was more than a little impressed with Josh AND his friends! ... The really amazing thing that most folks don't know is Josh didn't "grow up" playing guitar.....Even tho' his dad is an accomplished musician Josh was somewhere in his teens before he started playing guitar ! ...I cant remember exactly when Josh told me he started but I do remember being shocked!! ..... Sickening isn't it?...lol...Just to know someone can accomplish more in just a few years than I have in all my lifetime....Yes I'm a little envious....But VERY impressed all the same...lol....I know we're just starting to hear from Josh...This young man is going places!!...Mark my words !! I'd be willing to bet that in the years to come Josh Turner is going to be a name most people are familiar with.....He is destined to be great !! ...You don't run across a talent like Josh Turner everyday......I believe we are fortunet to have known Josh before he was famous! ...thanks again for the kind words ...Buck

[@darvyowolf]

Never say never YOUNG Squire if Colonel Sanders can become a success at 65 why cant you at your age, if you have the heart and soul and a sound mind ,surely you can achieve greatness

[@davidstirling600]

Love the way she dances to fiddle like no one's watching brilliant

[@ccguy66]

I think of all your videos, this makes me the happiest. I think, "This is what talented people do when they hang out together."

[@JanStrojil]

Exactly! This made me so happy! So much talent, so much fun, so pure.

[@angerjohn]

the fiddle comes out of nowhere!

[@tomncar]

yeah . amazing lighting effect

[@awesomeblueguyninjas6355]

Thanks for spoiling. I saw this before getting to that part

[@mscurry50]

Indiana, evening fire and good music, can't get any better.

[@mr.shinesmysterychannel3046]

Why must I listen to this song everyday? Oh because it was performed flawlessly!

[@hankclark8030]

Josh Turner. A recent discovery at my house. Right up there with Fretkillr only much younger. And all your friends! I have such a great time just watching all these kids have fun making music together. Josh, I am over 60 and I'm learning from you!

[@charliewood4158]

You guys can come to my bon-fire any time

[@officialJoCa]

Can I come?

[@kevbros]

Even Paul Simon would have to admit this is the best version of this song ever laid down. Amazing work, guys.

[@nouraddinezouaoui6803]

i mean nice version

[@daisyduck5428]

Kevbros I agree Totally

[@monoped8437]

artie?....is that you?

[@_munkykok_]

Truth.

[@magicmulder]

Check out Pomplamoose’s version.

[@Retired-Don]

ok, damn.... I've seen a bunch of your more recent stuff but this "Me and Julio..." recording was way back in 2014... recorded around a campfire... MAN!!! And then the fiddle guy steps in from the darkness... I know, I'm late to this party, but that was good!

[@guto2365]

Same here, bro! Can´t believe it took so long for me to listen to this amazing cover

[@Oxy456]

Even the fire is dancing along!

[@liveandinstereo]

The violin and the peruvian percussion box. Nice touch.

[@6272SLG]

Josh, you're fantastic....your voice range, your adaptability of any instrument. and I love your facial expressions when you are playing/singing. You are so into it..... such true feelings for what you are doing.

[@InXring]

Great harmony. You guys make it look so effortless. Kelly's spontaneous dancing in the background when the violinist joins in just really makes it somehow.

[@steveoh4595]

What a wonderful life you all must be living what fun!!

[@rogerjolley001]

Blessed by God.

[@robinwilkins6091]

Another favorite song of my youth. Love you guys!!!

[@schmittenhammer]

I pity an act that has to follow this.................. Josh is talented, but I think his real talent is surrounding himself with people who are as good or better than himself and not being afraid to share the limelight. I wish the best for him and all that surround him.

[@vrob8473]

Check out his video called “Virtual Bluegrass Band-Doin’ My Time.’” All those guys are as good as him.

[@jsguitargeek1432]

That's a terrific insight "Josh is talented ..." and I agree that his sidekicks are excellent - and a tribute to his respect for the music - not ego. But (at least I think) that Josh plays as up to the level and no more - he's got amazing musicality & chops - but he never shows them off - everything's in service to the tune.

[@howardmanley3388]

wolfgang schmittenhammer I pity the fool that has to follow this...lol

[@DaveGme]

A rising tide raises all boats. He is that tide.

[@yberlingo]

What you wrote is not true. Josh stands high above all them… but doesn’t show off and comes out as a fun lovin musician.

[@Enthusiastic-Trainspotter-BNE]

Josh dancing while he plays the guitar, wow! Well done to you all!!

[@dalecp2]

This is SO MUCH FUN!!! enough said.

[@pooginmouse]

Love that little dance!

[@pooginmouse]

STILL love that dance!

[@45156]

That made me smile - a great retirement present in my inbox on the day that I started to draw my pension - kindest regards from one of your keenest (and oldest?) UK fans

[@lucagilardi6311]

WOW!!!fantastica!!!

[@jessicacosiguitar]

Sono dei fenomeni!

[@roddunstone6239]

OMG Didn't know music as good as this existed anymore

[@GuitarSongsMasters]

catched me off guard with this fiddle. AMAZING!

[@garyschwartz6738]

I love lyrics. All of your performance are wonderful because of the tonal clarity which makes ALL words understandable. Every time I hear your versions I realize I’ve misheard words in the original versions. THANKS!

[@markthomas5369]

I think I've watched this a hundred times. It's way too kewl.

[@haterdesaint]

Amazing performance!!! Brilliant!!! Chills trough my spine.

[@gregamerson9172]

Swing that ax man I loved it ya'll r right on time

[@galpiano]

You certainly are hanging with the right people. Fun Fun Fun...Just like when we we're young... We made music everywhere we could, And we are still jamming ! Keep it up, life time of music ahead of you !

[@lindennottingham3662]

absolutely worth that 'one more beer down the rabbit hole' when it leads to such outstanding reward!

[@mingrid82]

I cannot say how much I love this!! You are all quite special

[@pierantoniomicciarelli5563]

Ciao Josh and Co. I love this song!!!! I almost destroyed the LP, VHS and dvd of their concert in Central Park, where there is a fabolous version of Me & Julio... When Simon & Garfunkel reunited in 2003 I followed their tour in eight countries all over the world. I usually do these things for my idols... I always tour with The Stones, McCartney... I saw twice Frank Sinatra and other legendary singers and groups, Tom Jobim and various sacred monster...I'm a very spoiled man when music is involved. I also saw the Royal Albert Hall reunion concert of the Cream... I went to Hawai'i to see Burt Bacharach playing with the Honolulu symphony orchestra for two consecutive nights. And I don't live just around the corner. I'm following your channel and your lovely videos of great songs... I'm your fan!!! I tell you all these things because I'm seriously thinking to come over to your country to enjoy your live performances with your talented friends, by the fire, in your yard or wherever you feel to play... Just for a week end... Bravo. Good luck. P.S. Do you live in Indianapolis?

[@miapernas1640]

Everyone that enjoys the original Simon & Garfunkel song will Truly Love this take🤙💕🙃❤💛💚💜💗🦄🐘🌟🍾🍃🌹🍃❣

[@blainerueckwald]

I know nothing about music except what I like and what I don’t. I like this very much. Also KZbin brought me here by a strange route, I’m a hobby woodworker and had recently got into watching guitar repair videos because those guys are such fine woodworkers in addition to being awesome luthiers. Next thing Josh Turner pops up in my feed.

[@lex224ification]

This is still my favorite video on this platform

[@CB-nk4hr]

This young man, and his friends, have a mountain of talent. These recordings are truly wonderful, please make them available!!

[@teadoratyler2915]

Doooo -I love this song, and the way you guys sing it makes me so happy! This is how it's ment to be sang, at least thats what I think. I'm so jolly jolly jolly I'm gonna listen to this like 27 times and be very happy. Thanks for brighting up the day. Keep up the good work!

[@rogerjolley001]

They make me jolly too. Ran across him like 9 years ago and it was just 2 or 3 and then 4 young people that were incredibly talented. The 2 of them were doing an avid brothers song and I have listened to them as much as I've listened to the Avett Brothers ever since

[@garys5175]

Best version of this song ever!

[@tinman4585]

man i can't stop watching these guys.. I really need to get to work:(

[@jespellbnd]

haha, Josh and company are darn pretty good I fall into the same trap, you know. Just one more..and then another, and another......

[@bull4647]

I'm never disappointed when I watch this channel. Great job, keep having fun!!!!

[@salserpico]

Best cover ever of this song I have ever listened to.

[@williamromerogardens]

Josh...you and your friends kick ass!!!

[@reinaldoreyes5631]

Brought back memories from my beach camping days!

[@tommylampini3737]

Outstanding! My 2nd favorite version of this great song.

[@jaygriffiths6793]

[@maarshy4]

[@fredericmelvinokohnner4503]

You just never know what these guys’ll be up to next - and around a wee fire in the dark yet. Love you guys, made my night. Now I can go off to peaceful slumber!

[@bd364]

[@MrMusicM67]

[@Tony-dk9sx]

Groovy! Like the fiddle and the whirling cell phone !

[@tomeemerson]

Fave song for 14 yo me, still love it!

[@beauwatkins]

Gotta love Julio and Paul Simon.... A little Graceland would complete this picture.

[@jennielanders235]

This is a amazing song

[@Enthusiastic-Trainspotter-BNE]

😊 indeed so

[@ALABAMAHEADHUNTER]

Most excellent ! I think it's now one of my favorites !

[@RanMagal]

Best cover I've seen in a long time.

[@specialrider54]

Really swings! Love the fiddle break. Cheers! Dave

[@Tony-dk9sx]

That "radical priest ... on the cover of Newsweek" was inspired by the lives of Philip & Daniel Berrigan, heroes of our generation... RIP.

[@jssp210]

This is just some goo old fun round the campfire. Love the fiddle entrance and the dancin. Great stuff.

[@budandbean1]

Love it, we used to play this in the first band I was ever in back in 1975. Paul Simon was pretty big on the charts back then, this came out in 1972. If you can, listen to "You Don't Have to Call Me Al" by Paul. Watch the Video of it with Chevy Chase. It's hilarious! You guys are so great, I look every day for a new video, thank you!

[@towerhillbilly]

Damn, kids this is great! You make it seem easy but I know better...great variety of styles and tastes on your channel.

[@jimwalsh2512]

Man!! I just can’t get enough these videos. So much fun

[@johncardell2024]

WOW! They nailed another one. Great! as always.🤗🇺🇸🎶🎶

[@9VBGI]

Discovered you by chance tonight. I'm both impressed & enchanted.

[@Rickimusic]

Can't believe you got a violin to work with this song. Well done, Josh. :)

[@19lapins]

Way to much awesomness here ! Great job !

[@fyram45]

I absolutely enjoy seeing the creative twist you put on music I have not heard in years. Love that you have fun with the music and your friends. Thank you for sharing!

[@PureMetalBanzai]

Great job guys. Per usual made me smile and brightened my day.

[@atuliti]

Applause!! Applause!! This has been one of my favourite S&G song. And you all have done great justice to it. God Bless you all.

[@Zsolto66]

So cool to discover new gems I was missing during the summer. Where would I be without this video now? Love to watch your faces -- they reflect the ease you all are at doing this. Zs

[@josdenis3684]

Josh is such a great musician!

You guys are on fire.

[@wheelinclam]

Sooooo cool. Would have loved be there with ya all

[@passion777able]

I can't believe how good you are. You have the sound of the original but then you added your own twists and made it unique again. I just love your songs. Now I have to go and hunt for the rest like Brian Keith said. You're fantastic. And this is in 2020 the Year of the Great Pandemic. Someone should write a song about this.

[@markbrown7103]

Nice job guys I like Paul Simon it was a great song still is you guys sure do do nice work I must say that is right down beautiful thanks I’m a guitar player myself I’ll have to listen to other people play have a great day and thanks again🎸🎸😀☮️
