Hot dang, you guys are good. Chicka, your voice is always superb with feeling. And, Boom, keep it up, man. You're calluses are coming back. Sounds so much better with you IN the mix as well as INTO it. Chicka, Boom and Bender. That makes you the string-bending cat that brings that extra excitement to the stage, Peter. Great guitar stuff as always, man. Another great song from one of my favorite bands. Merry Christmas!!!

Hi Janice, Bud & Peter,
well, finger calluses is definitely the only thing lacking with this uplifting and toe-tapping tune. Ever since I got to know Brian Setzer I dig rockabilly a lot.
And besides the fact that it was a wonderful idea to add some Christmas greetings and that 'thank you' for PGMusic the tune is a very enjoyable listen.
Okay, Janice, is there any style you can't sing like 'd invented it? Bud, despite the lacking finger calluses the bass sounds just great (is it miked or has it got P/Us?). (I think I will copy and paste this in the future:) Awesome sound, Bud.
Peter, as usual a wonderful job on the guitar.
Thank you, you hot threesome, for so many great productions in the course of this otherwise mean and ugly year - you made my day more than once.
Happy holidays to you all and all the best for 2021 - most of all: stay safe!!!
Take care,
Stefan
PS: Has anybody heard anything about Jim? His last post was in March and he doesn't even react to a PM...
Thank you Stefan for ALL your support of our music during this difficult year. We are excited you liked this this rockabilly effort! You put a big smile on Janice’s face when she read this. Regarding the bass I used a mic wrapped in foam rubber and pressed behind the bridge. It gets decent sustain and eliminates most ambient noise. Best to you both! J&B

Chicka & Boom + Peter, Fun uplifting tune! Cool live vibe! You should definitely do more tunes in this manner. Nice teamwork on bass  Vocals A+ Peter's guitar adds a nice vintage flavor. I was just reading about plates reverb on M.bus, fine example of that. Thank you for sharing and happy holidays! Misha.

That just about takes the cake. Great job! Thanks Ed. Sexiest Christmas song since "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claude"...I mean CLAUSE! Santa CLAUSE! Sounds wonderful and so much fun. Peter's tone is killer.
Enjoy yours. Ours will pass without too much hoopla, but that's the way we like it anyway. Thanks! That’s the way we like Christmas also! J&B

Well if that don’t get everybody dancing around the Christmas tree nothing will! Great idea to add the cajon along with the bass track. It worked well. The bass really drives the whole thing and Bud you certainly have a great feel for the pocket. Superb vocal and some nice tasty guitar touches round out a dilly of a rockabilly holiday treat. Nice job and Happy Holidays to all of you, Tom Thanks Tom for the great comments! "Dilly of a rockabilly" most cool Hope you two are having a fun Holiday season. J&B

Hi, Bud & Janice !
What a PARTY !
I´d loved to be there
too, but am stuck over
here in the darkness
without snow ! Sigh !
There´s nothing
beatin´Janice & Co in
a good country blues !
A Merry Christmas to all
of you too !
Cheers
Dani
Thanks Dani! J&B Janice, Bud and Peter:
Another great offering—like the choice of going rockabilly with this Christmas tune. Peter adds some really cool licks throughout and Janice’s vocal is great—particularly like those little bits of scatting in the breaks between lines. Fun and foot-tapping stuff!
Have a Merry Christmas!
Deej
Thanks Deej --- Janice was happing you liked the rockabilly scats! J&B

Hi Janice and Bud.
This is an absolute jolly and rollicking joy from start to finish. At the end it is interesting to hear your (Janice) delightfully captivating spoken word accent which is very charming. Looking forward to hearing more of your exemplary music in the new year.
p.s. Thank you for all your moral support that is so important and appreciated by this newbie. Thank you Gary. Your are more than welcome...we look forward to more from you. "This is an absolute jolly and rollicking joy from start to finish." That says it all to us as that was our objective. Much appreciated. Glad you liked Janice's most southern accent. It is 100% genuine! J&B

You three are definitely dynamite together! I have run out of adjectives to say about your songs. Every song you do is so much better than today's radio. I love rock-a-billy and you three kick it out of the park. I hope y'all had a very Merry Christmas and I hope you have a safe and happy 2021. PS - Chicka and Boom sounds like a it might be a new fast food chicken sandwich place
