Well done guys,

What is there to add that hasn't already been said? When people come together and with thier individual strengths colloberate to make something magical happen.
This song epitimises the talent on this PGM forum and long may it continue.

Thank you Tom. It was fun and I quickly found that it was very "singable." My word that Bud kids me about!

Peter, Leon, Janice and Bud,

What I'm hearing through my headphones right now is another shining example of an outstanding forum collaboration.

Peter, your guitar work is excellent.... skillful, considered and a perfect fit.

Leon, the lyric rewrite was definitely worth the effort. I don't think I've ever heard the 'amuse me/enthuse me' rhyme anywhere before.

Janice, you OWN this style of music! Your singing carries us listeners along on the vocal equivalent of a magic carpet ride. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to you.

In a nutshell, this is very, very good music.

All the best to you all,
Noel

There is really wonderful y'all.

The instrumentation--live and RTs--is perfect. Really crisp guitar playing, Peter, that sits perfectly in the mix and sounds completely pro.

I really like the rich, professional studio quality sound of this, right down to the mastering.

Of course, excellent vocals by Janice as always--and great vocal recording work Bud.

Great job everyone.

Excellent choice of instruments for this song. The acoustic guitar is full and sweet. and I appreciate the restraint you employ on the slide solo with that touch of flare in the the last measure or two.

Janice, I think I'm starting to hear a flair of ragtime in your blues (lol). Maybe it is harkened by the piano in this song, but it is part of what gives you a unique signature.

Well done everyone!

That girl can sing anything, it seems. And gets better with every single recording (How can that be????)

A terrific listen.

Yep - what Floyd said. This is a real sweet collab. That great lyric, super backing tracks, Janice's incomparable voice and Bud's expertise "twisting the knobs" is a recipe for some really terrific listening. Kudos to all concerned!

I played the acoustic and slide guitar.

Thanks to Bud for support and recording Janice.

The Magic Touch


Honey I know I think too much
I’m aware of that
It’s true I get emotional
My moods can fade to black
But whenever I lay eyes on you
I just have to smile
You make me think that life is good
And living it worthwhile

You amuse me
You enthuse me
With a feeling that my life
May be worth living after all


I knew when I laid eyes on you
You were the real McCoy
I hope you can believe me
When I say that you’re my joy
Cause honey I wouldn’t lie to you
At least ways not too much
You’re the reason I’m going on
You’ve got that magic touch

You amuse me
You enthuse me
With a feeling that my life
May be worth living after all


Honey I know you like to think
You’re a man of gravitas
And shows of strong emotion
You regard as hazardous
But whenever I lay eyes on you
I just have to smile
You make me think that life is good
And living it worthwhile

You amuse me
You enthuse me
With a feeling that my life
May be worth living after all

Peter, your guitar playing sounds like RT's!
Well, that must be a compliment, don't you think laugh
And no one can sing a song like this like Janice!

Thanks for that happy you noticed the acoustic - harder to do than the slide.
Janice sounds great, I'm sure she will appreciate your comments.
