Thanks, Guenter... The lyrics are mostly comparing love to a carnival...there are carnival references throughout... I am typing on a phone, so it is difficult for me to fully explain at the moment... I may come back to this later...when I return home...

Very cleverly written. Solid production. Great arrangement. Vocals spot on. What else can I say? Love it. Almost missed this one. Glad I didn't!

Vocal knocked it out of the park, and the arrangement (particularly the solo) felt custom-I was looking to see if it was Tommyad. Everything about this was done right!! Great work guys. Take care.

Greg...thanks for such a nice review. Pleased that you picked up on "concession".... When i decided to turn this into a blues piece, Janice was the natural choice! I also considered having Tom do the lead, but he was on vacation... And the Brent solo had a Robert Cray feel that I thought worked perfectly...

I was struct immediately that this song style, Janice's vocal and production brought to mind a popular recording group here on the east coast. This song fits their female lead singer like a glove. A perfect match in my opinion. I am acquainted with her and her manager and while I can make no promise, I can certainly contact them to see if they will listen to an mp3 of this.

I won't make any attempt until you guys have approved but this group has been the top CBMA (Beach Awards Group) on the east coast at least the last two consecutive years and one many awards from CBMA. They get a lot of airplay on beach radio.


Thank you Charlie. We've been out of town for nearly a week and I have't been able to thank folks. Thanks for commenting on my vocal! And Bud wanted me to mention that the mix "belongs" to "the man" floyd alone.

It's fine as it is and I love the analogy. I wouldn't bother facing the retaliation I'll get if I didn't think the overall write was a good one.

The arrangement and production are spot on and Janice is in her element.



Thanks for the time to listen and the comments Josie. Maybe you are hearing this as more of a traditional blues song than I approached it as. I felt that structurally and of course lyrically it was more of an Americana style song with a bit of a blues flavor to it. BTW I hope you don't feel "retaliated!" smile

You know how much I love blues so you must know how much I love this. Tom


Thank you Tom! That means a lot for you to say that about the vocal. It was fun!

hi Josie... Thanks for the review. I've listened a number of times with your comments in mind. I don't see it. Blues is, of course, very much an interpreters genre...and Janice sang this -phrasing-wise similar to the way I would do myself...with the exception of the "promise line"...but I don't have a problem with her choice...

If you would be interested, I'd be happy to send the track to you for you to do a version the way you hear it...would make for an interesting thread...


Hi FJ,

I feel like Nixon so "let me make myself perfectly clear" in what I meant by what I was saying since unfortunately you and maybe some others are reading things into my comments that I wasn't thinking when I wrote them.

"Verse two sings best for this genre" - I didn't say JANICE SINGS verse two best because I'm using "sings" as a songwriting term and talking about the lyrics melody flow NOT Janice's performance - "verse one and three lyrics sound forced for the singer in spots" - still talking about the lyrics and melody flow since it is an AAA structure song. "It's fine as it is and I love the analogy" - my suggestion was only for polish on an already good song. "The arrangement and production are spot on and Janice is in her element." - Should be obvious but if not it's a big compliment from me to both of you.

So I appreciate your generous offer but I don't see the point of me doing your song. if I did a version, I'd have to rewrite the lyrics, rewrite the melody and change the structure to a different genre - then it wouldn't be your song anymore. I was suggesting a little optional final polish on the song - not on Janice. Like I said, Janice is in her element. This genre is not mine by choice. She loves it. We're both musical fruit but apples and oranges as far as taste/style.

And I'm totally cool with you not seeing the need for any changes. As I said, the song is fine as it is. No ego trip here. I realize any suggestion I make is based on my opinion and by no means the end all.

I'll admit to you and everyone else that I am gun shy about making suggestions on here. I don't want what I'm trying to say to be misunderstood as in this case because I didn't type it out clearly enough. And I don't want to offend someone by saying the "wrong" thing to the "wrong" person.

As the producer of the Coca Cola Tru Value Hardware Country Showdown for a 100,000 FM station for three seasons, I was in charge of everything pertaining to the show including picking the talent and celebrity judges. And that level of stress was much easier than I find navigating music forum land. grin

Best to you,

Impressive y'all. You just keep crankin' out all of these great songs, solo writes, collabs....

Take a bow.


Thanks. I still can't get over being asked to sing such an incredible lyric.

Bob, fj has a lot of gold in that write for sure!

I listened and ... slow blues are not my favorite genre.... with a few (very few) notable exceptions.

The production on your tune is top quality as always and a good job on the vocals as well.

Its not often that someone hears such a great original and professionally finished song, but that is indeed what we have here.

Absolutely great vocal lyrics and totally professional production.

I'm sure that this song could go a lot further than this forum.

Well done to everyone involved.

Sounds super.

I was visiting my sister last week, and happened to be listening to this on a Chromebook. She was impressed, and wanted to know who I was listening to. It says something about the mix when it translates that well over tinny-sounding speakers. laugh

That's a bunch of nice things to say, Tom. Thanks! If I can get a thumbs up from you for the "closest thing to blues" I've ever done, then it can't be all bad... of course, having Janice to sing it makes it pretty darn easy...

Mmmm, that Janice lady can sure sing a little, well maybe a lot. She has a wonderful technique and voice, Bud knows how to make her shine and floyd sure knows how to write blues and do harmonies.

What's not to like? This has everything

Thank you! If I've lead you to the blues even briefly that makes me happy. Bud and I have listened to blues for decades. And Bud said an extra big thanks for mentioning him. But he insisted that I say that this prodcution was all the man, mr jane!

Sorry I'm late to the party on this one, but I really dig it. The tempo and phrasing worked particularly well for me. Also, really impressed with the guitar solo and fills throughout - I was convinced it wasn't an RT.
