My "Scarborough Fair" Acoustic Cover

Today, my plans were to go to the BOTB Red Light Refugee Show, but my "friends" bailed on me.  Oops.. I'm not overly bummed out about this.  They always put on a good show, but I kind of just felt like staying in anyway. 

Instead... I stumbled across some nice covers of the traditional folk song, "Scarborough Fair," which inspired me to post my own cover since I already know and love this song.  This was my first video on my new youtube channel, Armbreakfire.  You can check it out if you like:

One cover I came across and really liked was a well-produced music video by The Gothard Sisters.  Their version of this fantastic song includes and drummer/singer, a violinist, and a guitarist. 

Another version I enjoyed was by Brandon Purcell, who surprisingly doesn't actually have a lot of views.  He sings the song while playing an acoustic guitar, and it's flawless!  He also adds some kind of reverb effect which gives it a soft airy sound.
 

Links to both are below!!
