Blues and Santa, what a perfectly wrapped combination  Great groove, great mix, great vocals - Janice is really convincing when singing "my santa man, he brings it straight to me". Surprised to find harmonica was RT, just shows how good those BIAB instruments are. Happy Holidays to you too! Janne We appreciate every word of those generous comments. You covered every goal we could have hoped to achieve. That harmonica took a lot of cutting/pasting to try and get the fills to hopefully work. Thanks for mentioning it. Have some fun holidays! J&B

Hi, J&B. Fun blues! Janice sounds great. Excellent mix - as usual - but the bass comes through especially clean.

J&B,
I want to say that I think I remember this from shortly after I joined the forum! Such a cool smooth sound that really showcases Janice's wonderful voice!
As a musician, for me the star of the show is the fabulous walking bass you played Bud! It really takes the song to another level!
May you both have a merry Christmas and a new year filled with blessings! TB

A delightful ditty that sounds so good. I would love to hear this on the radio for Christmas instead of some other popular Christmas songs. Merry Christmas!

Janice & Bud—what a festive pick‑me‑up! After a tough spell, your song was the perfect holiday tonic, lifting my spirits faster than a snowball on a downhill run. I’m out of adjectives, but your talent, production wizardry, and all‑around awesome‑ness deserve a standing ovation. 👏 👋 👏
Cheers and happy everything,
Izzy
