Hi All ...
WOW! What a great song in all respects! Sounds better than about 100% of what I'm hearing on the airwaves these days. Noy gonna parse it out except to specifically mention the key modulation ... loved it!
Everyone did their part as good as could be done. very commercial and true ear candy!
Best to all of you. Take care and be safe. Happy Thanksgiving ...
Alan Alan thanks for the very kind review. Hope you are both doing well. Peter

Peter and Crew,
Excellent tune!
I can easily recognize Leon's signature lyrics. Janice did a grand job on swinging this out. This is probably first time I heard her sing in this genre. Peter, very good guitars, powerful solo and licks. Bud, I can only guess. Very good mix, production and message!! Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

All four of your are at the top your respective games on this one. Leon’s lyrics are among his best, Janice nails the melody and gives a perfect vocal performance. Bud’s engineering and mixing input allow Peter to put a terrific production in place. And Peter, your playing is your best performance and the guitar tone was perfect. Topped off with a quality modulation. Wow this one hits all the notes. Way to go, Tom Tom, thanks for all you said and I appreciate the mention of my melody! Janice Super song! Outstanding vocals. Great lyrics and melody. Mesmerizing solo guitar work. What a clear sound. Such a great recording and mix. My hat is off to all of you. Bravo! Thank you and like you I was captivated by Peter’s solos. Janice

Hi Peter + J&B,
Simply beautiful.
Heartfelt lyrics with a wonderful heartfelt delivery by Janice.
Loved the harmony, Janice - perfect sync too, which I know takes a lot of work.
Super tasteful guitar work Peter and some professional engineering Bud.
Loved it.
ROG. Thanks Rog, always a pleasure to work with Janice & Bud. Peter

WOWZA,
I really enjoyed the progression and arrangement.
The Peter guitar is fantastic.
The melody & phrasing combined with THAT voice and THOSE harmonies are fanmazing.
Combined with an excellent narrative this gumbo is EXCELLENT.
My ears must be in freak mode tonight becasue, unusually for J & B, I heard some sibilance in the vocal...the only part that I'd suggest addressing is at 2.21.
Loved it. Ray, I much appreciate your comments on my vocal and it was nice of you to mention the melody. Bud said that sibilance could’ve been a result of a new multiband compressor he’s using. We will check it out. Thanks again for all. Janice Y'all just come up with the sweetest sounding tunes!
And let me tell ya, Janice could sing the phone book and it would sound good! So when you get a song that is put together as well as this one with some really clever analogies.
Yep another keeper.
Great sound
Thanks for posting, I enjoyed the listen... Thanks for listening and saying that about my vocal! Janice Hello Peter, Leon, Janice and Bud,
This was a very nice example of working together on a song, or cohab. It brought us a very nice song!
Everything fit exactly, while Janices' wonderful voice glued it all togheter. Well done
And the lyrics, what a nice way of telling you love and need someone in your life!
Like (all) others, I enjoyed listening to it,
Hans
Thanks Hans. I always appreciate your comments! Janice Really really nice song! Great arrangement, loved the vocals, the guitar and the energy! Thank you! Janice

Beautiful song. Great songwriting. Lovely guitars and vocals. Nice mix. You all did a great job together. Thank you! Janice As others have said - everything comes together nicely here. Time to find a name for the group and release some 45s!  No, no, not another band!  Thank you! Janice Hi All ...
