Hi, couldn't find the link for this song but I went into your website and had a listen to your Free Cd. Really enjoyed it, all good songs, I think my favorite is 'Up to no good again' but they are all very good. Great lyrics/harmonies, well produced, If I had to pick on something, I would prefer a bit less reverb on the vocals, I think your voice is strong enough and good enough to carry the vocals, but that is being really picky and is just down to my preference. Yes will listen again (and again),
Thanks.

Haaaaaaaaaaa! Man, when that Jerry Lee honky piano started poundin', the smile on my face just got wider and wider ... and wider! Wicked guitar solo going on here as I listen. Like you said yourself, "that's what I'm 'talkin' 'bout."
Floyd, maybe I don't follow the field closely enough, but you sound like much more than just a gigging musician. You're certainly a lot better than Jeff Bridges was in Crazy Heart (I sure hope you saw it) and I thought Jeff was damned fine in that movie, doing his own singing and playing. You've got Jeff in your pocket along with a lot of others. Can I say, "Yeh, but now Waylon ... Waylon definitely has it over Floyd"? No, can't say that.
Great ride to the fishin' spot.
Dean

Dean Dean said it best! Another other winner from the dynamic duo! You and Janice are just fantastic together.
Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.

That's what I'm talkin about!!! A smokin toe-tapper! This is the quintessential lesson in picking out real tracks to fit the song. Look at all the different genres used- Country drivin, Country Rock, New Orleans, Texas Blues. Now that is a smorgasbord of American styles. Arranged with great skill-i.e. the bang-bang double stops at the end of the choruses. Some great lines ( drivin like a jerk ) Masterful on all fronts-Writing,arranging,vocals, production,mix. You've done it again! Great listen, Tom What he said. A lot of work went into this bad boy. That reminds me. The specks are bitin'.  Regards, Bob Bob - I knew you would like this one - it's about FISHIN'! We need to wet a line some day.... Floyd,
You are really on fire... Another winner!
Bob Thanks, Bob... Floyd,
+1 Love all the instruments in the arrangement and the vocals are infectious with fun. Sounds great to me.
Makes me wanna go fishin and I don't even like to fish. Josie
Thanks, Josie... appreciate it...

Floyd,
Awesome! Masterful work on the mix. With all the RTs you used, it's amazingly uncluttered. Super job!

Floyd. I think I've gotta play this one to my better half because he seems to go fishing more often than just "sometimes"
Great country rocker!

the more I listen to this song, the more impressed I am Floyd. You have been nailing the song writing thang for the whole time you've been on this forum.. even longer... you were good before you came here... but THIS song really shows an incredible mastery of the software too!
You intuitively know what the song needs to have, and where it needs to reside.. and now you also have the technical ability to figure out how to make things happen that are way over and above what the software does automatically!
I think of all the nay-sayers who act as though using BIAB is a cop-out.. as though you press a button and a masterpiece emerges the first time. What you are doing here is high creativity in a bunch of different directions at the same time!
You wear all the hats, and you wear them well. The industry savvy to understand what elements need to exist, and how the whole project needs to develop cohesively in order to achieve the desired effect... all that is only PART of what sets you apart from the rest of us. Pat - I know I quoted you before... but, hey... you say such nice things!.... Hi Floyd,
A very catchy and energetic song.
This one stands like a rock!
Janice's backing vocals are first class.
And having had both a grandfather and a father who went fishing very often and a son who likes it too, I can surely relate to this....
Anne-Marie Thanks, Anne-Marie! cool tune.... It rocks ....that's for sure.
Yep.... it's not about the fishing so much... just the disconnect from society it provides....I fish on occasion but more often I enjoy sitting in a tree with a bow or a gun and just enjoying the day..... no phone, no worries, and the only time clock is the sun going down...
Yep, great song.... Appreciate it, Herb... WOW!
I'm like Foghorn Leghorn here trying form a sensible sentence!
That song RAWKED,and as Josie wrote it makes me wanna go fishing and I NEVER got into that as a kid, too wet and miserable 'round here!
In my live playing days I would have given my soul to play in a band like that, on piano YEH!!!!!
That IS what I am talking about
"standing ovation"
Alyn Alyn - Boy...I say...I say..boy...boy... THANKS! Hi Floyd,
I'm still out of breath from listening. I think just gotta go fishin'.
This is an earworm. Great performance. Regards to Janice.
Guenter Thanks, Guenter....

Thanks. Roy - the link is the song title (in red) - you will find that many people do the same thing... glad you found (and enjoyed) the free CDs.. Haaaaaaaaaaa! Man, when that Jerry Lee honky piano started poundin', the smile on my face just got wider and wider ... and wider! Wicked guitar solo going on here as I listen. Like you said yourself, "that's what I'm 'talkin' 'bout."

Dean Thanks, Dean - always nice when you drop in for a listen... we'll make a Country fan out of you yet! That is one of the nice things about this community... we seem to be expanding each other's musical landscapes... and then we have BIAB to paint it as we see fit... I have been thinking of doing some jazz stuff myself...  or maybe a cover of "I've Grown Accustom To Her Face"... Haaaaaaaaaaa! Man, when that Jerry Lee honky piano started poundin', the smile on my face just got wider and wider ... and wider! Wicked guitar solo going on here as I listen. Like you said yourself, "that's what I'm 'talkin' 'bout."
Dean Dean said it best! Another other winner from the dynamic duo! You and Janice are just fantastic together. Thanks, Mario - you are always so kind.... Floyd,

Hi Floyd,
What a great tune and the production is unbelievable (as usual). I am nothing but impressed every time I listen to your productions.
I do a couple of open mic nights here in the UK and have played your CD's to a few people and they can't believe that you are not signed to a major label (maybe you don't want that).
Could I have your permission to do this song on an open mic night?
I also saw somewhere here on this forum that you offered to provide the .SGU for this song. So could I trouble you for that?
One last question: We have a couple of country radio programs over here and one notable one is presented by Bob Harris, you may have heard of him, and he is always promoting new artists. So with that in mind, would you agree if I pointed him in the direction of your CD's with a view to air them on the BBC?
Thanks again for providing such soul searching lyrics coupled with great vocal and professional arrangements

That's a goodun... yup, you gotta slow down and feed the soul every now and then.
Good song.

Al Woodall (alwoodall@btinternet.com) Hi, Al... Thanks for all those nice comments. The answer to all your questions is "Yes - of, course!". Feel free to play any of my songs. Feel free to show them to anyone. And anyone is free to play them wherever and however they like. I'll look for the SGU and email it to you. It may or may or contain the exact set of instruments (I test a lot of things along the way)... whatever I finish with will be listed in the original post of the this thread... Herb and David - thanks for visiting...

Signed into the forums lookin' at the new songs
See the name "Floyd Jane" and know the writing's strong
It's all about fishin' using earworms and hooks
I want to remember all this stuff and grab my notebook
because
sometimes you forget what you've been missin'
sometimes you just gotta go fishin'
Thanks for sharing this! I seriously just love your writing!
Oh, and your arrangement sounds so real. It's like I can picture the players. To me, THAT is a huge accomplishment...when you forget about the "how it was made", and just listen because you aren't distracted by it not sounding real.
