where to begin? This is perhaps the most visually evocative song I've heard in a long time. I can almost see the lead character saying all these things to her man as they slow dance in a honkytonk. Her words are flavored with beer and she's playing with his collar as they slowly make their way around the dance floor.

Cass Elliot would have to improve dramatically to come up with a performance half this good. What Floyd said about you should be famous...? yes, you really should. Maybe you'll be the next Eva Cassidy... unknown in your lifetime, but the body of your work will be rediscovered someday and somebody else will buy the rights from your estate for a pittance and get filthy rich.

And Tommy... I'm listening with headphones, and I'm hearing all kind of interesting tricks you slid into the production... one of my favorites is the way you pan the drums during accents! And the rock solid arrangement of instrumental parts... I know it didn't come out that way the first time you generated each part! There's clearly a lot of tweaking in this project to make it sound so thoroughly live! I absolutely love this song!

I'd say more, but the alphabet just called and complained that I'm using too many letters. (awesome job.. really!)

Pat, I absolutely love the creativity of your comments. I have said from the 1st time I heard Janice that she has a special gift. Thanks for your comments on the arrangement. Bud was a great help in hearing some critical parts of the mix that I was missing. Together we made it work. We always enjoy hearing from you! Tom

Good music is just good music. I have never been able to explain accurately what it is that I consider good music, but this is a fine example. And I just now read Pat's comment, so here's another WOW!! for good measure.
JG, Thanks for the WOW. We can always use a few more of those. Much appreciated. Tom
