I love the piano intro - it perfectly announces the song.
This has the familiarity of a classic I've heard a thousand times, but without sounding derivative. And this style fits you so well - it sounds natural, from the conversational lyrics to the clever lines.
An enjoyable listen!

Floyd / Janice,
Love the feel of this - great melody and lyric combined with two great voices - excellent! Outstanding mix & production as always.
Bob Thanks, Bob... appreciate it... Nice one, Floyd!
Good write, I especially like the chorus. I like the tight harmonies you always achieve with Janice, such a great sound!
Musically the instruments trading off during the solo is a nice touch, also really liked the way you ended with the fiddle, very effective.
Always enjoy hearing your music, and having Janice on board is an added bonus!
Thanks, Dave... Singing with Janice is always a joy...

Eloquent and exquisite writing and production fueled by retro rockets propelling yesterday into tomorrow. I'm enjoying sitting static in today and seeing classic sounding songs fly by that will surely influence tomorrow's writers.
The song, the arrangement, mix and production are all here. Excellent across the board.
Enjoyed this from start to finish and always marvel at the talents of Floyd, Janice and Bud.

Very nice, catchy tune. Well written (as always). Nice harmonies with Janice in there (as always). The piano really works well. Has a little bit of a Ray Price feel to it, and that's a good thing.
As you know, I always like your work. And this is no exception!

Well it seems you've done it again. Great mix. I loved the lines "we're hugging hello a little too long
you know what that does to a man". Well written and the vocals are right in the wheelhouse of you both. I was surprised at the mando solo but it works and adds a more modern touch to the classic swing band sound. The piano sound and solo are killer. Well written as usual and I can't think of any way to improve anything about it. Tom Tom - thanks for such a nice review... those BIAB guys know what they are doing, eh?...

Very well-crafted and clever write!!
we share some laughs
we share a dance and then a kiss
i'll go crazy if all this sharing doesn't stop
Just one of my favorite examples of some great lyrics. Very catchy melody and the perfect arrangement! And what song is not made better with some vocals by our premiere forum vocalist, the amazing Janice!! Great stuff! You did it again Floyd!! Take care. Greg Thanks, Greg. Thanks for noting that particular group of lines.... and for noting Janice's participation, too - she is a joy to sing with!

Hi Joyce and Janice,
Some great old country swing here - totally loved it! Production was spot on and the lyric is classic country all the way. Janice's harmony is always so danged good - no exception here. It kind of reminded me of something Joe Stampley might have done back in the mid seventies. I was two-steppin' across the floor in my mind!
Thanks for a really great listen!
Alan & Di Hi Floyd.
Masterful as ever.
It seems that your professionalism knows no limits.
Classic Country with a nice loud mix which still doesn't sound over-cooked.
And of course, the essential ingredient - Janice.
Brilliant.
ROG. Floyd / Janice,
Love the feel of this - great melody and lyric combined with two great voices - excellent! Outstanding mix & production as always.
Bob Thank y'all for mentioning the harmony! It was fun to play a part in floyd's production. Janice
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos are here on our website.

Great song and vocals you two!
I really love the old school vibe on this. Classic country from back in the day and an excellent production! Thanks, Dude! Well, you know I love this one, floyd, and I've been singing my part again all through two listens. I always love singing with you, and especially so on the old country style songs. Some of my earliest memories are of listening to country swing music with my Daddy and he would truly love this song. So, a big ole "thank you" for letting me be a part of it! Now I've gotta try and get Bud to dance with me on the next listen.  Janice Oh, I like it too. But she'd have to be shooting at my feet to see me dance  You move effortlessly around these country genres and sub genres with each production sounding like you'd been just at that one spot for decades. Amazing. Bud Y'all are both... the BESTEST!!!

Floyd & Janice
Beautifully done - really nice mixture of soloists and lovely superbly in sync lead and harmony vocals.
All round pro recording and write.
Peter Thanks, Peter... appreciate the listen and comments... Nice work and mix on this. The piece works well! Nice of you to drop by, Rich. Thanks...

Sounds great. Honky-Tonk music. Really like the melody.

Hello, floyd and Janice
A great collaboration again!
The use of piano is very cool.
Your vocals and harmonies are superb as usual.
As Rob and Anne-Marie said, the verse reminds me of The Green Green Grass of Home, too.
Very classical and traditional but the sound is modern.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

I've seen the reboot of $100,000 Pyramid. I could see this happening... Host-"and you picked the category "For Pete or Peter's sake" Clue giver-"Average. Too wordy. Not catchy. Poor sense of tension and release. No sense of writing. " Contestant-"Things you wouldn't say about a Floyd Jane song" Host-"Correct! What an easy one! Should we just hand you the cash now? (laughter from the audience) And what category would you like next?" Contestant-"I'll take 'Too good to be famous'" Clue Giver-"Amazing! Chills! Feeling! Voice of an ang..." Contestant-"Things we all think of Janice Merrit's voice!" $100,000 WINNER!!!!!!!! Ok, that wasn't exactly constructive, but all I could do at this point is repeat what others have said. It's obviously a well written, performed, and produced song...again;) Would you ever consider just throwing a real clunker on here so the rest of us feel better about ourselves?
