Thank you!!!!!!!!!! I really miss him. I like how you played this your own way while still capturing the essence.

Rest in heaven Lyle Mays. Your music will live on forever.

Um gênio interpretando a música do outro gênio ❤

One of the best playings of „Close to home“ on piano! 👍🏽🥂

Sometimes we never really truly appreciate the contributions of the greatest musicians until they have returned home to Source Energy. I always knew that he was present, a member of Pat's group, a creator on a plane of his own, but only now that he has decided to leave us with his absence can I truly appreciate his corpus that he has left us to ponder, to love, to appreciate. This song has been played by me everyday at least 20-30 times and I still can't get enough of it. I have listened to versions by Uwe Karcher, Andre Mehmari, Dr. Guy Shkolnik, Alex Sill on guitar seemingly holding back tears as he played this song, by himself and with Pat' group. I had the pleasure to see him perform at the Greek Theatre in around 1994-1995, the entire show was nothing less than Heavenly. You are missed only in person but we have your catalog to keep us "Close to You".

Beautiful words

no paro de escuchar esto..

A touching and heartfelt interpretation of my most favorite Lyle Mays composition. Tears and great thanks from Wyoming, USA.

Espetacular. Que pianista maravilhoso. Viva o Brasil e tantos talentos.

the rendering of Lyle's harmony is absolutely amazing...

Beautiful rendition of the most sublime piece by perhaps my favourite musician. I suspect it is only now that Lyle has sadly passed, called home well before his time, that the cultural world will start to realise just what an astonishingly gifted artist it has lost. Perhaps it should have appreciated him more when he was alive...

Thank you for posting this. It is absolutely my favorite Lyle Mays song. Your interpretation is so beautiful ! Two of the best interpretations of close to home is this one you played and another one is played by Andrey Korolev on classical guitar. The 2 Andre’s. God bless the 2 of you even more.

A música é linda!!! E a interpretação, então!!! Agradecemos por compartilhar aqui este momento!

I can't stop listen to this cover. The left hand is awesome. André... Hahaha 🤍 The right hand too. Lol. The same with synths? You're so good at this (Maysways). The sound of your Steinway... Wow

Awww Andre!!!! Que coisa linda! Sua musica e um remedio para minha alma! Um balsamo divino! Espero um dia tocarmos junots a 4 maoes ou 2 pianos....

This is so fluid, it flows naturally. It's the best Close to Home interpretation I've heard.

Beautiful playing man Listening from Australia👌

Sooooooooooo well done. I applaud your confidence to play this in the light of Lyle Mays with your own interpretation.

Andre, maybe, just maybe, there is something to, this reincarnation hocus pocus You would be a Brazilian, like Milton Nacimento, Heitor Villa Lobos and countless others God blessed Brazil, with the finest musicians in the world It’s an exquisite interpretation, that I’m sure Lyle is thoroughly enjoying I’m so glad to have found you You’ve managed to fill the huge void left in my soul from Lyes passing I so look forward in embracing your musical dreams God bless Michael from Mexico

what a lovely rendition of this beautiful song from Lyle Mays (RIP)🙏🏻🎹

Lyle, please feel free to continue touching our souls. No one has ever played such beautiful notes.

What a gift to play like this. Thank you, in good memory of Lyle.

Muito lindo, tanto o tema do grande Lyle Mays com a execução do tb grande pianista André Mehmari, muito lindo!

I believe that you and Uwe Karcher are the best in the world to play Lyle.

How beautiful! I love your crystal-clear piano sound.

Tiers on my eyes... So long time from the first time I heard (1985 I think); that is Lyle. He can touch secret parts, perhaps the Soul. Thanks Lyle and the Player for your interpretation.

Duas coisas lindas. A peça de Lyle e ver André tocar.

Que Maravilha!

Exelente...!!!!

Ah André assim você me mata ! Juntar Lyle Mays e você os dois pianistas que mais amo! Ah sim esqueci de Keith Jarret rs. Só chorando! Mas de felicidade of course. Gosto muito de você e de te ver tocar meu caro amigo, obrigado por tantos momentos de emoção e pura música em minha vida!

É, eu digo o mesmo!

Meu Deus! Que maravilhoso, André! Muito obrigada pelo lindo presente pra todos que acompanham e amam seu trabalho!!!❤️

Fantástico!!

Quando dedos fazem poesia sonora, o silêncio universal, que em nós se mostra brilhante, permite-nos a suprema serenidade, que encontra o caminho dos corações e das puras almas. A de Lyle, está bem ao seu lado, fartando-se de suas sonoras poesias...abraço forte Mestre André.

Bravo Andre !

That was amazing. Great playing, touch, etc. Thanks so much for sharing your talent and skill.

Once again Andre, gorgeous performance of Lyle's "Close to Home", which is among my most favorite pieces by Lyle. ☮❤

Tive uma experiência estética sonora fantástica, simplesmente foi uma catarse.

May Lyle Mays rest in heaven. We miss you. Lyle would be proud, Andre.

That guy has a nice touch on the piano. Played Lyle's beautiful, Close to Home, perfectly. Lyle passed away too young. RIP Lyes.🌄🌟🌅

Passando aqui no youtube essa preciosidade. Cheio de sentimento, música pra ouvir de olhos fechados. Saudades , cadê as lives Andre?

Good to know that Lyle Mays is appreciated (Michael, a septuagenerian jazzer)

Lindamente tocado, outro admirador da Holanda.

Great interpretation! Would love to hear your interpretation of Fictionary.

Andreè thank you, great playing, I m sure Lyle would have loved your playing.

Bonito demais, André Mehmari! Que bom ter te ouvido em BH flanando em pura poesia musical junto com o Proveta e o Sérgio.

holy shit! This is hands-down the best Lyle maze cover I have ever heard. You’re a genius, so much feel, so much of you in his song.

Such taste and masterful precision in your rendition of this treasure, Andre. My admiration and respect for you!

Bravo, André! Really enjoyed your interpretation of this magical composition of that gentle man that is slowly changing the world as we know it. Your technique and sentiment come through like a searing sword and the Steinway (Lyle's piano of choice), yields all these beautiful nuances you materialize. An absolute pleasure to listen to you! Stay safe and true. From one musician to another.
