Hi,

You guys knock this one out of the park. The vocal is off the hook!!!

Keep sing like that and someone at the state capital in Austin will be sending you a Texas passport...lol

I really like 8 bar blues and the second I heard your voice I had to pick up my guitar and play along.

You got the blues thing going on girl!!! Really lovely stuff guys.

Cheers,


Billy

That 2368 RT sure works, we'll give it a closer look.
Janice's vocal rocks (as always).

Thanks! Some of those solo accompaniment pianos
have lots of short solo possibilities if you cut and
splice them. We wanted something that wasn't overly
"busy" and that was the best way to get it.

Thanks again for listening.

A good "blues write" - allowing the singer to take it right where they need to...

And OMG! What a vocal! Like Greg said, this is one SOULFUL vocal!!!
Digging down deep, girl! Gorgeous.

Wonderful, y'all...

Thanks Charlie. Sometimes you gotta "dance with the one that brung ya" and for us it's either blues or bluegrass. We appreciate your remarks.

Janice's blues voice is spot on and the backing suits perfectly. Cheers.


Thanks! Yep, we are a bit retro at times. Glad it worked for you.

"The Georgia Chateuse" Now that is cool. Janice doing a piano bar thang. Your imagery would make a great project photo!
We are glad you liked the bar, indeed.

Everything that I wanted to say already has been said. All I can add is this went into my keeper folder so fast that it left skid marks on my monitor!

Loved it!
