Had to listen 3 times to this one. 'Nothing changes. You get wet standing in the rain'. Beginning reminds me a little of 'Fever'. Sax comes out so nice. Great lyrics and adventurous vocals. Unrestrained feel to a cruisy ending. Yippee! Cheers. Richard - Glad you enjoyed this... you are another who has done some experimenting lately... BIAB opens up so many possibilities... Hi, Floyd !:))
What a step outside the country box indeed !!!:))
I am not surprised, in fact I know that
such brilliant musicians as you and Janice
can do most genrés as easy as that !:))
I hope you will continue on your journey
outside the box and do some more exploring ?:))
I enjoyed this truly much !:))
Cheers
Dani
Dani - thanks for the listen... yeah, if you don't step outside once in a while, you end up with the same, the same, the same... can't have that!!! Well that was certainly unexpected. This is what makes this forum so great. Just when you think you've got everybody waxed something like this comes along and knocks you down to size.
I love the ending "Zum Zum..."etc. Sounds like a subway train. Well sung guys. Love the simple arrangement with only 3 tracks and simple backing vocals. Joanne - Thanks... Zum Zum Zum...

Floyd,
Man, I disappear for a couple of weeks, and you go and change genres on me! This is nice. A real testament to your creative talent, which I have really come to admire.
Glad I didn't miss it!

Hi Janice and Floyd,
really different. The arrangement transported the
mood of the lyrics very well.
My vocaloids applauded when they heard you two
scatting in the end.
That is something special. After listening to your
song I'm sure I don't want to live in Philadelphia.
Guenter Guenter - if I can get "really different" and "something special" from YOU - I have to feel like I did something right!! Thanks to you and the vocaloids!

Floyd and Janice:
This has a very cool vibe to it and I like what Janice's vocal add to it.
Nice Job. John John - thanks for the listen. Hard to go wrong when you get Janice to come along for the ride... Cool tune. Very jazzy loved the bass run in the background was very cool. Excellent singing and playing Scott - thanks - appreciate it.

Hi Floyd, or is this really Floyd's twin brother, Lloyd, the urban Jane, the Yin to Floyd's yang?? In all seriousness, this is a very cool song. Loved the unique arrangement-the boys in the box really felt the song (funny how that just happens sometimes). Cool feel, cool lyrics, and great vocals by both of you!! Rumor has it, Janice will be debuted on "THE VOICE" next season. Great work, both of you! Take care. Greg Greg - thanks for all of that - from floyd and lloyd... there is certainly a lot of things we leave unexplored in the box, isn't there? And I agree - Janice should be on one of those "singin' shows"... BTW Floyd, since your a Jimmy Webb fan, I'm guessing you know the "Cry like a rainstorm" CD by Linda Ronstad? Four beautifully sung Webb classics. If you don't know it, I'm sure you'd dig it. Take care. Greg I am not familiar with that - I'll have to go find it..

I love this song and loved singing my part. If I'd had a black beret I would've worn it while singing. You painted a picture so real that it scared me and I agree with others that the sax made It come alive. Also, the beginning of your scat singing makes me smile with anticipation with every listen. In my next life I'm gonna be Ella.  Janice Janice - Thank You for joining me on this!!!! It was perfect.

Hey Floyd,
I'm another once-upon-a-time Jersey boy. This is one of the most jazz influenced things you've done. Very skillful handling of the Real Tracks. You must have found that repeating bass lick and turned it seamlessly into a loop. Also some things are happening with the sax that seem to stretch this RealTrack to the limit - maybe further. Very slick.
Then, add the "Floyd voice" and you puttin' down some stuff!

Hey Floyd,
Adventurous. (okay so I'm trying to think of a word someone hasn't used already and I'm late to the party...)
You two really do compliment each other so well. I always admire how your and Janice's voices mesh whether you're in your country zone or in this case adventuring out of the box.
You two should do a whole duet cd together.
Josie

I listened when you first posted this...finally getting back around to it.
It's way cool, totally original and quite musically challenging, which ya'll handled expertly and beautifully, what an accomplished production!!
At one point I thought 'West Side Story', but not quite. Then Janice came in with harmony...I just listened and enjoyed the ride.
