Peter, Janice & Bud,
This is absolutely one of my favorite collaborations that the three of you have done.
The production on this is simply outstanding... It sounds like an old recording, but with nuance and polish.
I don't think anyone's phrasing or delivery on this song could be better than what Janice has done here - I could listen to this over and over again. Superb...
Love Peter's guitar - flashes of Barney Kessel. Just a perfect solo for this piece.
Bob Bob, I am humbled by your kind and supportive comments. Thank you so much! Janice

Even though it's 100% not my preferred genre, it's really well done, great arrangement and of course the vocals. Good work from all involved

Peter, Janice & Bud,
It's really good.
The vocals are great and the guitar solo is very nice.
Irvine Berlin is famous in Japan for songs such as ”White Christmas” and "What'll I do."
"What'll I do" is one of my favorite songs, so if I get the chance, I'd definitely like to listen to the performance by this collaboration.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Howdy Folks ...
One word in particular comes to mind - PRISTINE!
My mother was a wonderful singer and she would sing all the old classics as she cleaned house. I was privileged to hear that almost every day for years. This was one in here repretiore. She grew up in the Big Band era. She was born in 1923. We also watched all the old classic black and white movies that featureed big Bnd Muisc. I miss hearing her sing.
But ... Janice sure knows how to get the best out of everything she sings. It's kind of like an ice cream sundae. The basic ingredient (ice cream) is rich and smooth, the topping (cherries, pineapples, strawberries, etc.) brings a new element and texture to the treat that is exciting and ingratiating to the ice cream; the whipped cream is so smooth and satisfying; and the cherry on top says this is special. And yeah, that's pretty close to describing Janets vocals.
Peter, your guitar work is always superb, but you took it to the next level with this one.
I could go on and on, but I think I've adequately made my point. This was truly a treat! Nicely done, everyone.
Alan

Janice - Goosebumps! Could not be done better. Stunning.
Nice guitar work, Peter.
Nice arrangement.
(not a fan of the BIAB ride. But you know that...)
Very cool horns!
(a bit too-up-front, I think, for the genre. Would rather hear them "underneath" and less "bright".)
Beautiful work, y'all.
fj Thanks floyd I actually thought the horns were a bit far back after listening to Bobby Darin's version which is certainly worth a spin. First time I've ever really tried to use the big band horns. They were a bit temperamental and needed some work to get them to play nicely. Peter

What a voice! Such a solid delivery of the lyric. The subtle inflections make this recording special.

Enjoyable arrangement that evolves from simple to full power nicely. Great vocals by Janice, she really makes the loneliness in growing older tangible. To me, the story would work better in slower tempo (like Bing Crosby version), but then the nice arrangement wouldn't reveal its full beauty, so the length and tempo are in good balance now.

Excellent rendition of a classic. I am most familiar with the Bobby Darin version.
Janice shines and makes it her own.
Love the instrumentation arrangement.
I arranged some tracks for this song a couple years ago but never recorded a vocal. I don't need to after hearing this one.
