Howdy, Hi Wrote and recorded this in about an hour one Sunday night and immediately wondered if Janice might like to sing it. Sent an email to Bud and Janice that same night, haven't changed a thing except for the frog hair tweaks in volume (1-3 db) recommended by Bud. Janice's vocal is more than I could have hoped for, this simple, light-hearted love song soars with her voice carrying it along. Love working with you guys, there's so much good soul, good people, good hearts from these south GA folks. Thanks, Kenny Thanks for listening https://soundcloud.com/kfl44/one-fine-dayOne Fine Day © 2017 Kenny Leverett The nights full of small conversation I’m here with nothing to say There’s moonlight And all the stars are shining Feel like i’m floating away Fill my heart lift me up l’m an overflowing cup Darling see how you make me this way Fill my heart lift me up I say love will be enough And darling You’ll see that one fine day Someday you’ll look out your window And maybe feel like you want something more Until then you know I’ll be waiting Darling Hoping you’ll open that door Fill my heart lift me up l’m an overflowing cup Darling see how you make me this way Fill my heart lift me up I say love will be enough And darling You’ll see that one fine day Drums New Orleans Boogie Bass 2149 New Orleans Boogie Piano 2360 Electric Vintage Guitar 2150 Electric Guitar 524 Acoustic Strumming Slide 670 Janice: lead vocal Kenny: harmony Bud: recommending adjustments a frog hair at a time

Good song!
Janice's vocal performance reminds me a little of Linda Ronstadt, very pure with great tone as usual. Nice harmonies too!
Good choice of tracks, slide sounds great.
Good mix too, the "frog hair" adjustments did the trick!
Nice one guys, enjoyed the listen!

What a tune, 44kfl! Definitely wouldn't have thought it only took you an hour to write this - and as always, Janice's vocals are absolutely perfect. I love the groove of this one, and the guitar solos too! Excellent mix as well - wouldn't change a thing  Thanks so much for sharing!
Cheers,

Hi Kenny.
A great song with a fabulous feel-good factor.
Yeah, certainly sounds like more than an hour's work to me - boy you must work fast!
Janice could sing entries out of the phone book and I'd like it, but even allowing for that, this one shines through. A wonderful performance which she does so effortlessly.
Super backing, loved the slide and an excellent mix to finish it off.
Good work.
ROG.

"Someday you’ll look out your window
And maybe feel like you want something more
Until then you know I’ll be waiting"
This song is so cute! I absolutely love the lyrics, especially this part! Sometimes the person you want to be with just isn't ready for that sort of a commitment. You know it's true love when the other person is willing to wait until they are ready.
Keep up the great work!
Cheers,
Ember

Kenny & Janice,
Super.
The rhythm/cadence of the chorus is exceptional - catchy in the best way! Nice write.
The band does a good job of being "just right". The slide is a good choice...
Sounds to me like Janice is "gettin' her Bonnie Raitt on". Just one more tool in an incredible kit.
Excellent job, y'all.

Well that was a fun listen! You know those songs where the first time you hear them, you feel like you know it really fast...there ya go. Not like it's been done before, like it just feels right. Bright little tune and that I really liked. It shows how not over-thinking things can be a great asset at times! Now, about the singer...I'll just say a perfect choice. I will "click on" every song I see her name attached to Which is getting to be a fair amount of clicks these days! There is an obvious reason for that. Really well done!

This has a really cool almost gospel style feel too it, with country mixed in.
I really dig the vocals by Janice and the all around production.
Great piece of work.

Nice one guys, enjoyed the listen! Hey, Bud here, Janice said she was "overwhelmed and humbled to be mentioned in the same sentence as Linda Ronstadt." She is very appreciative of your comments! Bud

Kenny you should be very proud of this one! Super lyrics, great groove, outstanding backing tracks topped off with one very fine outstanding vocal.
Loved it.

Hey You Two...
What a great song and terrific production. Not sure what you "frpg-haired" but this sounds super.
Great song, Kenny. Love the lyric, melody and backing tracks, particularly the slide guitar. And Janice's vocals are always top shelf. This is another great job by her. Terrific in all ways. Standing "O" for all involved!

how did I miss this til now?
This song has the feel of a classic to me... like something you'd hear on an oldies station for 50 years in a row because it has such resonance with a generation!
Good call getting the Merritts involved! They should change their last name to Midas because everything they touch turns to gold!
But it helps to start with a good song in the first place, and that's surely the case here!

Janice, Bud, and Kenny, you've delivered a real winner here. This song has got absolutely everything.
The rhythm section is keeping everything held together perfectly, lot's of drive, and all embraced in a superb set of lyrics delivered with Janice's usual perfection.

Hello, Kenny, Janice & Bud
Very nice collaboration!
Very happy tune.
Wonderful Vocal.
As Dave said, Janice's vocal performance also reminds me a little of Linda Ronstadt, very pure with great tone as usual.
Electric Vintage Piano is very effective.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

how did I miss this til now?
This song has the feel of a classic to me... like something you'd hear on an oldies station for 50 years in a row because it has such resonance with a generation!
Good call getting the Merritts involved! They should change their last name to Midas because everything they touch turns to gold!
But it helps to start with a good song in the first place, and that's surely the case here! Thanks Pat, great comments, love what you wrote, appreciate the kind words

The rhythm section is keeping everything held together perfectly, lot's of drive, and all embraced in a superb set of lyrics delivered with Janice's usual perfection.
Thank you for those very kind words, so glad that you gave us a listen

Hello, Kenny, Janice & Bud
Very nice collaboration!
Very happy tune.
Wonderful Vocal.
As Dave said, Janice's vocal performance also reminds me a little of Linda Ronstadt, very pure with great tone as usual.
Electric Vintage Piano is very effective.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Hi Shigeki, I think you and I love that vintage piano a lot! pure with great tone is a fine description of Janice's vocal thank you for all your kind words

Kenny you should be very proud of this one! Super lyrics, great groove, outstanding backing tracks topped off with one very fine outstanding vocal.
Loved it. Thank you Mario! I always appreciate your comments. Janice Hey You Two...
What a great song and terrific production. Not sure what you "frpg-haired" but this sounds super.
Great song, Kenny. Love the lyric, melody and backing tracks, particularly the slide guitar. And Janice's vocals are always top shelf. This is another great job by her. Terrific in all ways. Standing "O" for all involved!
Alan & Di Thank's y'all! It was sweet of you to say that about my vocal. I do appreciate it. Janice how did I miss this til now?

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
