As far as I am concerned you did not write 100 songs! You wrote 100 masterpieces!

I really like the vibe on this one, everything about it is ready for radio air time. How many times have I said that? I'd say about 100.

So for the 100th time I really like this one and in fact it is probably the best you have done to date and.............

This is a keeper!

Ps - keep them coming!

Darn, at first glance at the title we thought we were going to listen to a cover of icehouse's hey little girl ;-)
Just kidding, this one sounds great!
As do all of your songs, they are among the best on this forum.
The arrangements, the clarity of the mixes, the vocals and background vocals. All of this shows a truly great musical talent.
Your comments on songs of others are always positive and constructive. I think we speak for all on this forum when we say that the energy you put into this is very much appreciated!

Hey, that's no mean feat. I've been here about a year longer than you and I've only clocked up thirty one!

The really amazing thing is that I don't ever remember hearing anything I didn't like. Now that's consistency.

ROG - I appreciate you always coming along for the ride...thanks!

I am so very proud to be on that list of the 100 (twice!! I might add) You bring so much to this group and I always hear something I like and usually learn a little something or get some inspiration.
Great mix, great song.

Thanks, Kenny. It's a great community - and we all do our part... thanks for being one of those...

floyd,

Thanks for mentioning us. The friendship and the collabs are priceless. And how cool to have the Janettes on #100! We enjoyed the interesting great backstory also.

Oh, and BTW, if any forum folks are reading our response please do check out Jon's site. He is a writer of great distinction.

One hundred songs is impressive but when you factor in the consistent high quality of the writes, the vocals and the production it takes on another dimension. Janice is thrilled to be part of this milestone!!

Bud

PS How fitting that #100 features EIGHT guitar RealTracks! That is not easy to do.



Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more.
If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks!

Congratulations, Floyd. So glad you got back into writing and discovered BIAB. You should consider producing a BIAB arranging tutorial--I know I would buy it!

The song is terrific. I love the intro with you adding instruments with each bar.

It's a great work.
The song No.100 is very punchy with a little bit 50s and 60s American Oldies flavor that I like very much.
I would like to celebrate your success!

Best Regards.

Shigeki - thanks for having a listen... this was intended to be a "radio song" for when we all actually listened to radio... smile

This one is totally different from all the others. You're a master in switching styles. Very well done as always. Especially the background vocals. You perfectly caught the sound of the era.
I'm looking forward to the next 100.

Hi, Floyd !:))

I´d also like to congratulate you !!:))
It is a great collection of songs
you´ve produced ! :))

This "Little Girl" seems to me quite special
as you seem to have made the trip back to
the sixties with this one and thus I mean
to music that resembles The Beach Boys and
maybe to an even greater extent The 4 Seasons
both groups of whose music I´ve always loved very much !
this one is just terrific in every aspect and I
can´t but rejoice in your achievement !

May we hear many more tunes like this !

Cheers
Dani

Nice, crisp, clear mix and a really catchy tune. It does belong right where you set it.
Ace.


Thanks, Ray. Needless to say, all those guitars don't play at the same time smile They come in as they are needed to add flavor here and there...

Thanks for all you do here on the forum. We sure do appreciate it. Tom


Tom - I do appreciate all those nice things you said. 90 from you is pretty much the same thing. And you keep raising the bar with every production and every write. I wish that we were just a little closer so we could get together now and again to see what might happen...

Hey Floyd,

I have a question. That time you posted one of your BIAB files so people could cover it, where did you post it too, is there a forum place to do that, or a forum drop box or something??

Although I'm too busy these days to do much than lurk, I'd be gravely remiss not to congratulate you on #100... and of course, thanks for sharing all the ones before it, too! smile

Congrats on your focus and dedication to reach this milestone FJ!!!

Your drive, determination and the high personal bar you set for yourself in honing your production chops and to always keep growing as a songwriter has resulted in a well deserved motivational and inspirational influence for so many others on this forum.

And in addition to your own blossoming skillset on your journey here, your willingness to help and encourage others and your excitement over your collaborations certainly has added to the fun.

I think we are all blessed that you have the time and the heart to share your talent, your knowledge, your songs and most of all yourself with us.

Here's to the next 100! Cheers to you!

BTW, Loving #100 - It's one of my personal favs.

That was on my website. You could do the same thing using Dropbox. I have also emailed stuff to people when they ask. My email address is on my contact page at the website. Or people have PM'd me with their email address... lot of different ways...
