J&B ( and Floyd)—
Wow, now that’s well done. Love the simplicity of the arrangement—those strings just resonate. Crystal and compelling vocal ( with a nice harmony in that chorus). Outstanding collaboration all!
Best regards to you all—
Deej

Janice & Bud,
This is absolutely beautiful... I must have missed this the first time around.
Such beauty in the way Janice delivers the vocal. Sweet production - glad you brought this one back around.
So excellent.

Bud and Janice
Whats most amazing about this brilliant song is that I first heard it 7 years ago, that went way too fast.
Always one of my favourites, great performances by all involved and a wonderful melody.
Great vocal, excellent mix,lovely guitar hook and floyd always sounds superb with Janice.
Excellent.
Peter Thank you very much Peter. Yes those years have flown by. That was the year you joined in with us on our first J&B & Peter collaboration! J&B

When coming this late to the party, all the cake is gone, the punch bowl is empty, and all the napkins are in the trash can. Not much left to say that hasn't already been said.
So, how about "Just WOW!"?

Exceptional write. Sounds like a hit song to me.
"in the corner, a battered Martin left for dead
while mystic chords of memory play... in his head" Great lyric hook!
Vocal is wonderful (as I have come to expect quite a while ago) You are very kind and we all thank you. Glad you liked the hook also. J&B A song for the still inspired has been in all of us!
Gorgeous vocal rom Janice, which, with the plangent fiddle puts a lump in the throat.
Great harmonies, crystal clear production and, above all a very, very good write; well done to everyone involved!
Robert Robert, that is all very nice of you and inspiring. And thanks for commenting on the fiddle. Much appreciated! J&B

Abandon the mix when there is nothing left to take away.
Minimalist but excellent. Thanks. Our goal  J&B Hi Janice, Bud, Floyd and Tom.
This is absolutely stunning listening. Everything about it fits together perfectly.
I don't know if it's possible to create music any better than this.
All the very best to everyone,

J&B, Floyd and Tom,
This is one great sounding track! You can never go wrong when you've got the combo of Floyd and Tom helping on a project! Janice, the vocals are awesome as always! Tom's guitar work is stellar...he is a super talent all aspects of musical production! Floyd's harmony always blends well with Janice! Bud you are pro as proved once again with the way you assembled this one! Enjoyed it!
Thanks, Torrey
