Hi Stefan,
This is an outstanding performace! Not only the swinging bluesy song, but also your video.
Very nicely done. Too much to tell about what I liked, but let me focus on the hornsection, the triple you and the female clothes thrown on the stage. I counted 3 bra's, a little too much for one girl? ;-)
I missed you some days, now I know why. You and Maha must have worked very hard on this production. Aber das Ergebnis ist großartig (But the result is amazing).
Nice day,
Hans

You always never fail to entertain. Well done in all respects.... from the writing of the song, to the recording, to the video work.
Hats off to you!
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Stefan,
Wow, killer production on this; totally digging the sound. It just jumps out and grabs you from start to finish. Terrific hook—awesome sax! So much to love about this one. Awesome work!
My humble regards,
Deej

Nice day,
Hans Hi Hans, thanks a lot - I know that we share - at least partially - the same sense of humor and music. As to your question: How about the bras...? Well, I asked Peter (Mr Saxy). According to him there were at least 5 bras, all different sizes, so the number of his female fans is obviously larger than you had thought. And I can read your thoughts - you want to know what happened to the bras after the show, right? Well, Peter says that he donated them to poor women who apparantly can't afford proper underwear - he murmured something like 'Sent them to 'De Wallethes' . Do you have any idea what he meant? Groetjes Stefan

Yes indeed Stefan, you read my thoughts and also I'm no good in counting bra's, that's for sure.
But I think you misspelled that word in blue. I think you meant 'de wallen', or 'de walletjes'. That is the redlight district in my neighbourhood, Amsterdam. But there they don't need them...
Better you keep going making outstanding songs and videos and keep off the beer.
Auf wiedersehen,
Hans

Hi Stefan,
Outstanding! Probably the best video you have shown us so far!
I love the song and the lyrics.
Making videos has been a part of my education, but I am not sure I would be able to make them as good as you do. You are so talented, Stefan!
The Sound, the mixing and the general production is very good... I guess that is Mahas work so please tell her that she is the best...
Looking forward to my next adventure in "Stefan and Maha World"!
Take care my friend!
Will

That's a riot. The entire production, from the first click to the web page and the last note of the video was masterful and very entertaining. Congratulations to you all.

Hello Stefan,
Wonderful blues song!
The vocal is great.
Your horn arrangement is very cool and excellent.
Big Fish’s Vintage Horns sound really nice.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Dear Stefan... From its iconic title, to your jumpin', juke joint music and the full-throated horn arrangement you worked out for it, If The Phone Don't Ring is a professionally-pitched, blues club-ready headliner! It's 'bad-to-the-bone' from the ground up and would surely take the house down in a 'live' performance. The lyrics are a torrent of inspired, inventive blues song writing, covering all the bases you'd expect from a 'you done me wrong' song. You've got this genre down pat, Stefan, and I mean straight, no chaser  . I'll be waiting to hear you take it up another notch in your next production! - bluage -

Will Dear Will, well, that was quite a review... thank you sooooo much for it. I passed your plaudit on the mix to Maha an she was excited and says Thank you, too. I'm always glad to read that you enjoyed our productions, but when you say that you don't think that you could make a video like this I don't believe that, because from the technical point of view my videos are not very sophisticated, I have to admit, and my technical knowledge as well as the equipment are rather limited. You're still on the job and I guess you simply don't have the time I can put into the videos. But there is something special to this video indeed: The project consisted of more than 30 tracks and that made my PC and graphic card completelly give up. BTW: The next video will be completely different, but I can tell you right now that it was one of your great songs that inspired me to have a go at that style, too. Thanks again for all the nice things you said. Take good care, Stefan

Shigeki Adachi Dear Shigeki Adachi, that's really very kind of you - thank you for your nic eand thoughtful comment. BTW: This is the first comment I got from an Asian country, and I must say it's a great idea that, although I never have left Europe by now, there is at least one person on each continent that enjoyed my stuff... Thanks to this wonderful forum and tmost of all thanks to BIAB which makes all this possible. Thank you very much again and all the best, Stefan

It's really good to know you're finally 'back in town'. And immediately found such great wordds to comment Maha's and my production - thank you so very much for your wonderful comment.. I had to smile when I read that 'done-me-wrong' phrase. And when I thought it over I realized that the last songs were all 'someone-done-someone-wrong' songs: Tell Me Why was a 'they-done-me-wrong' song, I've Changed For the Better was a 'I dome them wrong' song and now the central blues topic: 'she-done-me-wrong'. Guess it's about time for a more positive thing, so the forthcoming song / video will be a 'she-done-me-right' song. Thank you so much for your great support !!!! All the best, Stefan
