"VRBO, HOTEL BY THE SEA,
CABIN ON A MOUNTAIN, TINY HOUSE UP IN A TREE
OH YES, A CHANGE OF SCENERY WILL HELP US TRULY CHILL"
Nice. A well-penned ditty - and that is not an easy thing.
The BAND is Pro.
Everything is, of course. Duh.
Super bass - great sound (wanted that to be a bit louder)
A perfect "...we'll be back in ten..." break song.

What a coincidence, guys. Let's Have Some Fun. That's what my heart tells my mind, and I reach for one of your albums to acknowledge the suggestion. Some excellent lyrics, and Janice sings them so well. Some tongue-twisting phrases at a quick pace with 16 notes and yet every syllable is easily understood. Man, you guys are so inviting, and you really deliver on your invitations.

I loved it! Awesome vocals and phrasing. Reminiscent of The Manhattan Transfer. Thanks! We haven’t listened to Manhattan Tranfer in years. Now we gotta refresh the memory. 😀 Glad you liked the vocals! J&B

That was fun and nostalgic! Janice nailed the vocal. I picture some hay bales strewn about the barn. Nice description 😀 We’re glad you liked it! J&B

Man, you both really shine on this one! Knocked it clean out of the park. I love some good ol' western swing to begin with, but I sure thought this was a good write. Fun, uplifting words with a snappy, catchy beat and melody. Janice, you always do well with your vocals, but you really seemed to kick it up a notch here. And, Bud, how do you do it? You always do such great productions, so how do you improve on perfection? You sure seemed to do it here. I never would have guessed you used several different tracks for that lead guitar. Great choice of instruments and they are all perfectly placed. I'm on my 3rd listen now. Thanks for posting guys, this was great!
Brad

Hey Janice & Bud
I'm fond of this song ! It swings like hell ! The vocal fits perfectly into this kinda music and the electric GTR solo sounds very cool...Nice ending too
I also like "Lady Luck, "It 'ain't esay" and "Back water", very nice bluesy music (SC)

SOUNDS FAB.
Excellent bass Bud, excellent.
the rest of the band do what is needed - they swing.
Janice's vocal sounds playful, light, expressing joy and the melody is tres cool.
LOVE IT. Thank you Ray! That covers all we hoped for. J&B

Hey Guys,
I listened to this a few days ago and left a comment on SC. Just the past two days have I had enough time to come over here to forum for a few listens.
This gives fun the proper definition. Noah Webster and the Meriam Brothers should have checked with folks before defining fun in dictionaries. But then, ya'll would have been pretty young back then!
That was some mighty fine listening!!!

That's exactly what I expect to hear in an old-school saloon in your neck of the woods.
Funny and entertaining, enjoyed my listen a lot!

Janice & Bud,
Lovely song, standout vocals, beautifully mixed and performed.
Cheerful, fun and great ear candy (ear lollies certainly doesn't sound right).

Well, that took me back to when I was a small child with my mother singing to the radio while cooking Sunday lunch.
Nicely done.
Vic Glad we took you back to those memories. Thank you! J&B

Janice and Bud,
You should have some fun more often.
Loved it! Yes we should! Thanks. J&B Great song! Love the arrangement and particularly the fiddle and the totally jigsaw-fitting guitar solo. I won't mention Janice's vocals as she must get fed up with hearing how good she is!  Thank you. Cutting and pasting BiaB solos is always a fun challenge. Glad it worked for you and we liked the jigsaw fitting analogy. Much appreciated! J&B

This is pure fun! I was smiling from the first beat onwards, very appropriate tempo. Uplifting message, nice change of musical scenery  Janice's voice is truly an instrument of its own - like a guitar among guitars and a fiddle among fiddles, so versatile and full of nuances. Very pleasant band, I especially enjoyed that solo guitar. Janne

What a fun and cool track!! Sounds authentic as a old time western swing tune. The vocals remind me of Johnny and June. This works at all levels.

Well I certainly had fun listening. Great vocals with every syllable of every word clearly sung. You (Janice) have a unique vocal ability to adapt to different styles. Here I am hearing Ruth Etting and Annette Hanshaw (WHO, I hear you ask) in your voice.
Very enjoyable song and Buds bass sounds good too. Thanks a lot for those very positive and supportive comments. We just added some Ruth and Annette to a playlist and will soon listen. We love tunes from that era. Much appreciated! J&B

J&B,
Well, that was fun . . . but then you did kinda ask for it! Terrific little tune . . . great vocal as usual, but I really enjoyed the vocal harmonies that really made it pop for me, and reminded me of some of the oldies. Cool tune!!

fj Thanks mr jane. Needless to say Janice, who smiles all the time, had a HUGE one when saw you quoted her lyric. 😀 Thanks for all and the bass mention is appreciated. The notion of the song being a set ender is cool! Wish we’d had it back in the gig days. J&B
