My Santa Man

Merry Christmas everybody!

Here's a two minute tune we threw together for the season. Hope it works for you!

J&B


My Santa Man

my santa man don’t hang with them elves
no he don’t hang with them little elves
we take care of business all by ourselves

he don’t come crawling down my chimney
no he don’t go crawling down my chimney
he walks in the door looking so fine to me

he don’t have to land a sled up on my roof
he don’t have to park no sled on my roof
he’s my santa man, i don’t need no proof

i don’t need my gifts waiting under a tree
yeah, i don’t need no gifts under a tree
my santa man, he brings it straight to me

Hi J&B.

Janice, you sound to be having SO much fun there!

Incredible bit of vocalising with absolutely superb improvisation, but yet always still in control.

Now that's the sort of Christmas song I DO like.

Wonderful stuff, you two.

Have a super Christmas.

ROG.

Two thumbs up!

LOL! The Christmas fire is still burning hot in them pines.

Love it Janice and Bud! Gonna add it to my fav Christmas song list.

Terrific! Merry Christmas!

Great!

Hey You two!

Is this too cool, or what? We say "too cool"! We love 12 bar shuffle blues ...one of our very favorites song styles. Great Christmas pick-me-up! Dui and I still say Janice sounds a lot like Susan Tedechi ... and that ain't a bad thing.

Great stuff! We totally loved it!

Merry Christmas and hoping for a great and healthy 2017!

What a fun track! Janice has a great voice for blues, enjoyed the listen!

This ain't your daddy's bluegrass. Great song and excellent production and performance. You guys are so versatile. This was a fun listen.

What a great riff on the ending! Girl you can Sang!!! It's easy to hear influences of older blues singers and it's easy to imagine that you both have been studying ,listening to and absorbing the blues genre for a long time. The mix sounds great as usual. The four real tracks are not directly related to each other but work spectacularly well together. The bass is killer. Don't forget to leave a note for Santa containing the link along with his milk and cookies so he can use bluetooth to stream it in his sleigh. He'll be rocking by the time he hits Florida. Tom

Flat-Out Good.

This should be playing at the mall.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Y'ALL!

Janice and Bud,

The minute Janice started singing, it sounded like home base! My first impression was "This style sits with Janice's voice and Bud's engineering as comfortable as an old and favourite shoe". Everything rings with authenticity and polish. I really enjoyed just sitting back in my chair, admiring the talent on show and listening... first class music.

Hope you both have a terrific Christmas!

Thanks Tom. You are too kind regarding the bass. You are right...Janice listens to a lot of old blues. Santa took the note so maybe he liked the tune smile

Hi, Janice & Bud !:))

Though Santa has already
appeared and gone for the
previous year I must say
that this was just a wonderful
little bluestyped tune that
was so delicately sung, orchestrated
and mixed !

Cheers
Dani
