Really good guys, you took an old classic and made it your own.
Janice knocked it out of the park as per usual, and your guitar work on this is perfect.
Excellent, well done Janice, Peter, and Bud! Thank you Dave. I have long wanted to do a song from that era. I’m glad you liked it! Janice

Wow, this song kept me captive throughout the entire production, Janice has that Linda Ronstadt sound to her voice, and the guitar solos were spectacular!!

Tough song to sing.
Janice outdid herself making it her own. You all put together a really nice different spin on it.
Josie Thanks Josie. Peter

Peter, J&B
What a lovely treatment of this old song! Janice absolutely knocked it out of the park with the vocal on this! I really like that jazzy tone you used on guitar Peter! It's perfect for the genre! Bud, nobody could have done a better job with Janice's vocal than you did here! Enjoyed it!
Thanks, Torrey Torrey, we very much appreciate that and your support over the years. It means a lot to us! Janice

I can honestly say I'm not a Gershwin fan.... but this is something that could possibly convince me otherwise.
You guys and gals gave this the royal treatment and made it new again.
Nice. Thanks Herb. Peter

Nice. Thank you Herb. I just couldn’t resist when we saw that it had become public domain. I’m glad you liked it. Branching out can be fun but not always  Janice

Bob Thank you so much Bob! Janice Very well done,guitar, mix, árrangemnt and as always an excellent vocal and a nice foto Thanks you! Janice Very pretty version of the song. Beautiful vocal Janice. Loved how you slid into the notes. Very cool jazzy tone to your guitar Peter. Awesome playing. Excellent production, mixing and mastering. Well done. Thank you Scott. I’m happy you like it. Janice This is gorgeous.
I hit play as fast as I good on this one, because this is one of my favorite songs.
You three did a great job with it.
The lead guitar part is amazing. I LOVE the bends on the technique. Very Chet Atkins/Jerry Reed. Impressive!
I would love to learn what kind of guitar you were using, and tips on your technique with those bends, effects etc. I would like to learn that sound and specific tone. Really, really good.
You should do a YouTube showing your guitar technique on this. Seriously. Thank you David. And yes Peter's playing was sublime! Janice

You should do a YouTube showing your guitar technique on this. Seriously. Thanks David - really appreciate the comments. The guitar was my Variax - a Martin-D28 emulation. Only effect was a little reverb. Not sure what I can tell you about the bends, lucky choices I guess. Peter Very pretty version of the song. Beautiful vocal Janice. Loved how you slid into the notes. Very cool jazzy tone to your guitar Peter. Awesome playing. Excellent production, mixing and mastering. Well done. Thanks Scott Peter

Hi, Bud & Janice ! WOW ! Simply wonderful in every aspect, tune, music, and Janice beautiful rendition as the sugar on the cake ! This really hit me where it counts i.e. my heart !!! Thank you for this gem ! Cheers Dani Thank you Dani. I truly love this 100 year old song! Janice Oh wow. Another superb collaboration. I LOVE Gershwin, so this was a special treat, for me. Janice is, well, Janice ... what can one say about her voice that hasn't been said already, apart from the fact that it genuinely seems to improve (if that's possible) with each song? Peter, your guitar solos and fills are stunning. Bud, the mark of a good mix is, in my humble view, when it's not even noticed ... and this is a brilliant mix, the music just shines, I would never know you were even there :-) Congratulations, all! Thank you! I’m so glad that you, especially as a Gershwin fan, liked it. Bud did ask me to mention that Peter mixed the song and Bud mastered it. Janice Haven't logged in for a while and what a treat first up! I have a treasured vinyl copy of Ella sings Gershwin. It takes a mighty talent and plenty of chutzpah to cover a song made famous by that great lady. Janice duly delivers a delightful rendition that can stand proudly beside Ella's. Wow. Brilliant work from you three.
Regards,
Leon Leon, to be mentioned in the same paragraph as Ella is humbling beyond description. You are too generous and I’m most appreciative. Bud

GOOSEBUMPS.
What A Voice!!!
Cool arrangement. The mix is Stellar. The balance is perfect. Every piece is present and clear, yet warm and supportive (Although at times, John's piano gets a bit "busy"). The vocal sits perfectly.
Peter's guitar sound like it "came with the package". Excellent.
Nice album cover!!
Y'all need to do a whole album like this.
fj Thank you floyd! A whole album? That is generous of you as I felt like I was stepping out on a limb with this one tune hmmmm … if I did you would have to join in! Janice
