I realise I am 12 million views behind the times but stumbled upon this earlier and it is wonderful, as are all of the YouTube performances I’ve seen by him and various collaborators. Unpretentious but fantastically faithful and respectful covers. An ‘overnight sensation’ on YouTube after playing a pizza joint in Salt Lake City for a decade or more. He and his friend Jeff Hall in the Africa video and many others both worked as attorneys in Utah. Massé has now become a full-time musician. Yes it may not be cool but the guy puts everything into performing a song to the fullest. Hugely enjoyable.

This is another highlight for me. Two simple but utterly wonderful Fabs tunes…
I stumbled on the “Africa” cover a while back and it’s something I still play occasionally – it’s such a powerful version. He’s playing a gig in London in May – might be worth a punt for those in range.
Yep. This is from a gig in London from 2016:
Well that’s Sunday morning shot…brilliant. Thanks for the tip!
As somebody said, if these guys were playing in a pizza joint near me I’d be as fat as a house.
Oh, I love that so much. I first saw it when Bob shared it, saying something along the lines of it being far better than it needs to be. Wonderful.
