I saw your title the other day and have been meaning to have a listen. I thought that has to be country with that hooky title - BINGO! Just Great - Joanne you really sold it with your vocal - very pro! And Tommy great stuff on the guitars and steel. I used to have demos done by a steel player named Marty Rifkin in Santa Monica. Wondered if you might have heard him? I really enjoyed it. I always keep my visine handy in my car.  ---Pete

Hi Tom and Janice,
very funny lyrics and what an arrangement and performance!
You topped yourself with your teamwork.
Masters of vocals and guitars.
I enjoyed this very much.
Guenter Thank you Guenter. I really admire your work and that makes your comments so meaningful. Janice Tom, Janice,
Very well written and produced song. Excellent job!
Ogi Thanks Ogi. I appreciate it. Janice This one sounds great, one of your best collabs in my opinion. I like the fiddle intro that immediately sets the atmosphere of the song. The piano solo and of course Tom's guitar later on enhances things even more.
Janice's vocal is top notch.
Another winner!
Rob
Thank you Rob. Tom really did a great job in arranging the song. It made it so easy for me to sing to. And thank you for mentioning the vocal! Janice First just a super lyrical hook!
And then a beautiful Western Swing!
And wow, Janice knocks it out of the park!!!
Wonderful all around! That is mighty kind of you Mr Gruve. Thanks! Janice Janice / Tom,
Another great one! Nothing else to say... Loved it!
Bob Thanks Bob! Janice

Hi there Tom and Janice.
A wonderful mix of styles, all wrapped up in a super professional package.
A bit of swing, a bit of country, a bit bluesy in places and then Janice managed to inject a fair amount of jazz into it with that amazing vocal track.
Loved every minute.
ROG. ROG, Thanks for coming by for a listen. We enjoyed your comments and yes Janice is amazing. Tom You guys make a great team!! With Janice's vocal, Tom's guitar, and some fun, clever writing, what could possibly go wrong? From my perspective...Nothing! An excellent production that works on all levels. Great stuff guys! Take care. Greg Greg, Thanks much for your kind review. We are eagerly awaiting your next one. All the best, Tom

Clever and fun. Some very nice western swing picking and singing. I'm grinning.  Josie Josie, I am always happy to see you smiling. Thanks, Tom Excellent work guys. What a lovely write and great production all round.
I thought visine was a South African/Zimbabwean thing?
I love the line "Man you better close those eyes before you bleed half to death".
Joanne, Funny that you mentioned Visine. I was thinking that the international forum members might not get that. The bleeding eyes line is a very old saying. Some of the great old lines are ripe for the picking as they may not have been heard before by the younger generations. Thanks, Tom

Tommy and Janice,
Love me some western swing. Janice you rock on this! Tommy, I be frank (even though I'm Jim), love all the arrangement. If that's you on steel and lead guitar all I can say is man do you have the touch!
WELL DONE!
By the way, gave it a five star rating on SoundClick.

What a gem! The mix is perfect!
Terrific and engaging song and production in every respect. It just sounds like this kick-a.. swing band is on stage and the 'A-team' musicians each get to take a ride.
Janice, that is one of your best performances and by that I mean stunning! Patty Loveless could back you up:)
Y'all are a winning combo:)
