Nigel, nice write in the Jump Blues style and great vocals, as usual! You've got your band dialed in nicely, too. Always look forward to a new song from you, knowing it will put a smile on my face and set my toes tapping. This one did not disappoint!

Brilliant song and it captures the era perfectly. Really well done on the BiaB samples, arrangement and mix.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

HI Nigel,
I always smile when I see a new one from you.
Love the Swing Shuffle Blues! And this is a great example of it. Loved the key modulation - they always seem to refresh a song bring new energy to it.
You have the perfect voice for these old standards (yes, I realize this is a new write, but it captures that era so perfectly). As usual, excellent entertainment. Loved it!
Take care,
Alan

Nigel, you nailed the genre!
I agree that you have the perfect voice for songs like this.
Great backing band
Outstanding mix.
IMHO your best to date, and you have had some outstanding songs!

That's one smoking song. It sounds like it jumped out of a film where the crowd is dancing the jitterbug... so good. Excellent vocal performance.
