As always Janice's vocal is superb. Mix is put together nicely. Love the guitar solo and the pumping piano. Thanks for sharing!

First takes can be the best, with a good singer, as the vocal calisthenics are then spontaneous, as in "set yourself free"

and YEH Tom CAN rock, beautiful guitar work, beautiful. *shakes hand* The hands off fret slide at the end is a great way to end a rockin' song.

And I do wish I had a more extensive vocabulary blush to do that song justice.

EXCELLENT

We appreciate all of that Alyn and yep, that ending was super cool. Thanks again!

No need to add anything about the arrangement. It's perfect...



Been said!


Thanks Joanne!

It was a privilege to be asked to work with Bud and Janice and to be able to get to know them a little better with regards to our personal lives. They both are extremely easy to work with and we managed to stay focused and on the same page throughout the process. Don't be surprised if we do another one. Thanks again to all our forum friends for checking this one out, we all three appreciate it. Tom


Thanks Tom and back to ya on all you said! It was seriously fun.
