Thanks, T

Thank you very much for all and we appreciate you mentioning the BGV’s!

Thank you Scott. Those supportive comments mean a lot to us and are appreciated by all three of us.

J&B and Peter,
Out of all genres you compose, I like dark blues tunes best. Janice vocals suits this perfectly. Very good sounding tune all around. Great lyrics, especially liked second verse. Powerful vocals, tasteful guitar parts and amazing mix. This is one of the best tunes you offered this year. Enjoyed it very much and thank you for sharing!

Another great track from the dream team!
I've been away from the forum this year, so I haven't heard you guys for a while but you've still got it!
It doesn't seem fair to the rest of us that you've got Janice's sublime vocals, Bud's stellar production skills and Peter's tone and note-perfect guitar.
And then there's the song, with serious, thought-provoking lyrics:
"... everyone knows the facts they read them on the internet,
groveling around in their bubbles without regret."

Niiiiiiiiice y'all.

Maybe we all need to meet down at the farm and put on a show.

Mario can do his Jerry Garcia imitation but we won't make him sit there in total darkness in the rain like the real Jerry had to.

David that is very thoughtful of you and mentioning the lyric is very special from a writer like you. Put on a show … hmmm … that made me reflect on how many years it’s been since we left our last band! Very thoughtful of regarding Mario 🤪

Thank you!

Howdy Folks ...

After two bars of Janice's golden voice, the first thought was: Susan Tedeschi, but even better.

The three of you are so dang so talented - should be illegal, but glad it isn't. The arrangement and mix on this are beyond great. Should be hearing this on the radio and all major streaming services. A real treat. Tip of the hat all three of you - simply magnificent.

Hi J&B and Peter.

This is spectacular. I love it.
The lyrics resonate with me because they so accurately describe the strange world we live in these days... "everyone knows the facts they read them on the internet"
Everyone is an expert and so many people refuse to step beyond their individual prejudices and closed minds.
You've all done a great job.
Janice, your vocals gleam in this genre, and Peter, your guitar work is perfect.

I loved the listen!
--Noel

Hi Bud, Janice and Peter Fulham,

I fear I'm a little late on this party...
And i'm very glad I found it!
This is a very lovely Blues, so well performed by all of you. Lovely is the word for that, I think!

But there is something else so exceptional in this song; the lyrics!
At first Janice had to deal with all nasty men, but here the whole world is the problem.
And you are right on that. I often sing about that topic, or related to what your lyrics.
These are so good lyrics! Love them; we have to shout them out (we, the good ones).
And we need Blues to perform those lyrics...

I enjoyed the song, but you may have already guessed that!

It's been awhile since I logged in to the forum, but this is one of the first songs I clicked on when I saw who the artist was.
I've always found your recordings to be of the highest standard, and this one is no exception.
Love the lyrics, vocals and Peter's guitar. The Realtracks in BIAB are quite good for blues, but the result always seem to have better feel with the addition of at least one live instrument, IMO.
A very enjoyable song !

Thank you very much Hans for writing all of that. Yes, after all the nasty men now poor Janice takes on the world.
But she is a strong lady!

Welcome back and thanks for listening and offering such supportive comments. We could not agree more with you ... Peter brings another dimension to our productions with his solos and the "just right" fills for the vocals.
