This jumps! so fine! Great vocal, Janice as always. very enjoyable. I don't think I've heard (or read) the name Marcia Ball since I left Texas almost 20 years ago, good memories.
Thanks guys,
Kenny Thanks Kenny. Good to hear that you're familiar with Marcia. We've been fans for years. J&B This is a very cool tune. Got the toes tappin :-). Well done Thanks Scott...keep on tappin'! J&B

Janice and Bud, This is a great version of a great song, one of my early favourites! I wanted my classical piano teacher to teach me to play like that but she said that that was not real music. We soon fell out much to my parent's anger. What a lovely singing voice you have, Janice. Alyn ps How do I stop my foot tapping now?  Thanks Alyn. It's great to hear from you. Not real music eh? Glad you had a falling out with her! J&B

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.

Janice and Bud, As a youngster, then aging listened to that song many times, played by my Mom and Dad. A lifetime ago. Never knew the words, but loved their music. Mom was an excellent vocalist, but never heard THEM words. We both enjoyed it thank you. Can't say it much better than this. 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. J&B

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!

Hi Janice and Bud, After listening to that, I'm out of breath... I can only think in words... - sensational
- energetic
- mesmerising
- brilliant
- performance
- arranging
- mixing
- outstanding
- more please

Seriously.... music doesn't get any better than this! All the best, Noel 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. J&B
