Thanks guys,

Thanks Kenny. Good to hear that you're familiar with Marcia. We've been fans for years.

What a lovely singing voice you have, Janice.

Thanks Alyn. It's great to hear from you. Not real music eh? Glad you had a falling out with her!

Outstanding and the minimalist arrangement is the perfect backdrop for Janice's vocal which brings those lyrics to life.

You'd think it would be easier but I find minimal arrangements harder to mix....Kudos to you both on another wonderful track.

Hope you and your family are doing well.

We both enjoyed it thank you.

Pro all the way. Expect nothing less.

It is an accomplishment that "that line band sound" has become your signature (Bud) - everyone agrees and no one does it better.

The vocal on this (Janice) is as-good-as-it-gets... YOUR "signature" - because that is how all of your vocals are described.

The video is perfect for the song (can almost see those people moving), but the audio only link is worth everyone's attention - so you can listen - truly listen...


Later,

Tessie and FrankB


Thank y'all so much. We appreciate the thoughtful comments. And even more so since you have such a familiarity with the song.

Great job!

I have played this piece many times throughout my playing career and I don't think I've ever heard the words or worked with a vocalist who sang this. Excellent interpretation and superb blues singing. My compliments and BRAVO!

All the best,

Dang Noel. Just a few of those adjectives would have made us happy but, man, to ascribe all of those to our production is simply overwhelming. And given your composition, arranging and production skills we are only hoping we can live up to 1/10 of what you mentioned. Thank you!!!!

Thank you Josie! I agree on the difficulty of mixing minimalist tracks. My preference is 4-6 tracks. Any more or less and things get dicey for me. Janice is very appreciative of you mentioning her vocal.
