No nits here....Janice hits notes like that intentionally all time -- I love it. To heck with the "bouncing ball!" I like singers who work around it. This is a great vocal.....right square in the middle of our collective wheelhouse. Thanks for posting this.
BTW, I'm more than a decade older than Janice and also pushing 70. Yep the vagaries of hitting on that age are daily reminders.
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

Hi Alan and Di,
just great. I wish you recovering very soon to get more songs like that.
I had no problems with the time shift, just enjoyed.

J & B ...
So nice having you drop in on this one. Glad you enjoyed it. And yeah, those ladies can hit notes that only a few humans and all dogs can hear! Ah ... we can remember the "bouncing ball" from "The Mitch Miller Sing-A-Long" and black & white TV. Wow, that was a few years back!
Thanks so much for the very nice comments. And yeah, this is our strongest genre. This one has been so well received, we've started working on a few more. As soon as Di is able to sing again, she said she'd jump right on it. I may write a couple for me as she recovers. The biggest difference between songs, in this genre, we write for her and songs we write for me, is with her we don't have to worry about range! I'm limited top little over one and half octaves. That's just warm-up for her!
Thanks again, guys! Best to you ...

This is fantastic.
You know what I would do with this one? NOTHING! It sounds great as is!
It has that 'live feel' to it.
Tell Di that she is in our prayers!
PS - I also loved "When Two Worlds Collide"! Now that's country!

Hi Mario ...
First, thank you for the prayers. We appreciate them very much. Glad you liked that little country song on the video! And yep, Classic Country all the way.
And we're particularly delighted you enjoyed "The Best Thing I Do For Me". We spent more timer than usual on this one .. several weeks. We were just learning BIAB ... only had it a month or so at the time. And we agree that it's one of Di's best performances. And since everyone seems to like it as is, maybe we'll just let be.
Thanks for the listen and the very nice words! Wishing you the very best ...
Alan & Di

Di and Al,
Wow!
This style of music sits incredibly comfortably with you both. It was such a pleasure to close my eyes, relax and enjoy; clever songwriting, creative arrangement and classy singing - very classy singing, in fact. What more could anyone ask for?
I always admire a list song in the style of Cole Porter. You've definitely got the knack!
Sending you both a truckload of healing thoughts and good wishes,
Noel

Had to give a listen to see what all the buzz was about. Oh, boy, that is indeed nice. I love a soft sultry female wail. Very nicely done! Thanks for sharing.

Hi Noel ...
You are so kind with your words! We need bigger hats, now! Di is almost blushing from the compliments. It is such a pleasure, and I am so fortunate to have a wife who can sing her butt off on this stuff. We love the genre and always have a lot of fun with these songs. Thank you so much for your very kind words! We are humbled. Thanks for the healing thoughts ... we could use a little right now! Wishing you well ...
