Janice & Bud,
This is really outstanding! This would be completely at home on any Welch & Rawlings album...
Some great support from Floyd as well.
The usual high mix standard is all there - the clarity is really amazing.
Just the best!
Bob

I love bluegrass music. It has such a cool feel to it. Feel good music. I got interested in blue grass music when I first saw and heard Alyson Krauss on tv..
This song is warm and inviting. Beautiful vocal and Floyds vocal was also so well done as well. Very cool track. Loved the mandolin and fiddle. So well produced as well. Thanks Scott...Janice and I once had the honor of sharing the stage with her. We appreciate your nice comments! J&B Thank you Don!!! J&B

Janice & Bud, floyd,
What a fun classic bluegrass tune!
The music of this genre is rarely broadcast in Japan.
However, it appeared frequently in American movies I saw when I was a child. So they are familiar with my ears.
And it is fun to listen to anytime.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Great work folks! What a highly entertaining bluegrass tune! True to the genre in every respect and professionally executed by all involved! It's very obvious you are very comfortable in this style! Enjoyed it! Thanks, Torrey Thanks Torrey...It was a fun trip back to the roots. J&B Wow!!! This is just so good in every possible way! I never was a big Bluegrass fan before Nickel Creek, The Newgrass Revival and Alison Krauss. But in recent years, I've come to appreciate and like it.
And this is such a perfect example of the art. All three of you did an excellent job! That was three minutes of my life well spent and glad i could add it to my experiences. Just so good! best to all three of you ...
Alan Thank you Al. We always appreciate hearing from you. There's a lot of good bluegrass out there and, like other genres, a fair amount of mediocre stuff. J&B FABULOUS song guys. This is the kind of song that would have gone down a bomb on Hee Haw years ago. A really good swingy toe tapper, nice melody and lovely harmonies too. Perfect recipe for a great song Thanks! J&B

Love your vocals, makes me wish I could sing! <3 Thanks!!! J&B Smilingly good - the harmonies are spot on too.
Is there a different reverb or level of reverb on the fiddle? Its tone sounds great but it seemed just a little "different room" to me. Thanks Ray. I use Nectar 2’s verb module on all vocals and a few instruments. It’s a 140 EMT Plate reverb sim. On acoustic instruments I typically use Waves CLA Unplugged and its reverb which I did on this mandolin, guitar and fiddle. Perhaps I overlooked it a bit  on the fiddle! J&B Janice & Bud,

Shigeki Adachi Thanks Shigeki for your time to listen and comment. Back in the 1970's several US Bluegrass bands had some success touring in Japan and from that came the creation of several excellent Japanese Bluegrass bands. We appreciate your kind remarks!

Kids, I SHOULD be able to arrange airplay in London and NZ with your permission. It's best to include a brief (about 50 word) bio.
Obviously, I can't guarantee anything but they play Josie Cooper's and my stuff.
