Howdy Folks ...
One word in particular comes to mind - PRISTINE!
My mother was a wonderful singer and she would sing all the old classics as she cleaned house. I was privileged to hear that almost every day for years. This was one in here repretiore. She grew up in the Big Band era. She was born in 1923. We also watched all the old classic black and white movies that featureed big Bnd Muisc. I miss hearing her sing.
But ... Janice sure knows how to get the best out of everything she sings. It's kind of like an ice cream sundae. The basic ingredient (ice cream) is rich and smooth, the topping (cherries, pineapples, strawberries, etc.) brings a new element and texture to the treat that is exciting and ingratiating to the ice cream; the whipped cream is so smooth and satisfying; and the cherry on top says this is special. And yeah, that's pretty close to describing Janets vocals.
Peter, your guitar work is always superb, but you took it to the next level with this one.
I could go on and on, but I think I've adequately made my point. This was truly a treat! Nicely done, everyone.
Alan Thank you Al. My mother and father were also born around that time (early 20’s) so I learned from them the joy of such music and old movies. I appreciate very much what you wrote! Janice

What a voice! Such a solid delivery of the lyric. The subtle inflections make this recording special. Thanks Fred Peter

Enjoyable arrangement that evolves from simple to full power nicely. Great vocals by Janice, she really makes the loneliness in growing older tangible. To me, the story would work better in slower tempo (like Bing Crosby version), but then the nice arrangement wouldn't reveal its full beauty, so the length and tempo are in good balance now.
Janne Thanks Janne - I'll have to listen to Bing's version. Peter

Excellent rendition of a classic. I am most familiar with the Bobby Darin version. Janice shines and makes it her own. Love the instrumentation arrangement. I arranged some tracks for this song a couple years ago but never recorded a vocal. I don't need to after hearing this one. We appreciate the review, thanks Scott. Peter

Peter, Janice and Bud,
This is a really nice treatment of this old tune! Good performances by all! These songs from many years ago deserve to be resurrected and preserved by the next generations!
Thanks, Torrey

Hi, I listened to this whilst I was in Thailand on holidays last week but thought I’d wait until I got home before commenting.
I was sitting there in Thailand thinking how sultry it was outside then I heard Janice sing this beautifully done song and thought “boy you don’t know what “sultry” is.”
This was sung beautifully, produced as well as I would have expected from Bud and Peter’s guitar makes me proud to be an Aussie. I don’t comment often but this was well worth it.
Well done to all concerned.
Tony Wow! That is so nice of you to say that Tony about my vocal. I very much appreciate every word of it! Janice

Dave, Janice and Bud...you guys have certainly found your nitch here...Janice has the perfect timbre and classic vocal ability to deliver Gershwin in such a gorgeous...Dave your solo was so tasteful and fitting...the production was excellent...the horn section has an old recording texture to it that enhances the total appeal...so well done! Thank you so much! I have so long loved but rarely recorded this style. Janice Peter, Janice and Bud,
