Hello, Janice & Bud and Floyd

Nice collaboration.
The sadness and melancholy reached deeply to my heart with janice’s warm vocal.
This song reminds me Carole King a little bit.
Though I don’t know if gin matches the heartache more than scotch, I agree Pascal’s comment.
(Still a melancholic song in this showcase, not a surprise because melancholy gives so beautiful tunes. This one doesn't make an exception!)
Enjoyed the listen very much.

Touche! But, and floyd will vouch for me I hadn't seen the vid back when I wrote the line. It's gonna take some creativity to start the next few songs with that line...particularly given that neither of us like gin smile

Glad you liked it!

Thank you floyd. I've learned more from you about songwriting than I ever dreamed possible. It's an honor to have my name and yours on a credit. Yeah that girl was driving by, saw a light on, and walked in ready to sing.

Hi Janice, Bud, Floyd.

Simply professional whichever way you look at it.

I switched the video to full screen on the 47" monitor, put the lights down and and just lost myself in it.

What more can I say?

Wow! Is this good, or what??!!

So few tracks and so much music. What a treat this was to listen to. The simplicity of the music and the refined performance, particularly Janice's voice, is second to none. Great mixing and a terrific lyric. Nope ... doesn't get much better than this!

Did I comment on this one yet? Cant remember and too lazy to go back through 4 pages of comments to see if I did or not. Listened a couple of days ago.

This is just lovely. The piano suits the style and Janice vocal as always outstanding.
