Janice is as modest as they come and will likely mention this to nobody so ... smile
She was listed yesterday as a featured artist on Don's Tunes. In addition to many musical endeavors that focus on blues music Don's Tunes has several popular Spotify playlists. Four of her songs have been placed on their playlists and suffice it to say her number of Spotify streams has hugely increased - from a trickle to thousands over the last couple of months. It's all for fun and gratifying to find that a larger audience likes what we do ... and a huge part of this includes Peter's guitar work and the support of PG Music over the years. So if interested here's a link to her bio on the site.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

Congratulations, I can not think of anyone more deserving than Janice. It is a foregone conclusion that Janice is a very talented lady. Perhaps it is not always so evident the amount of actual work that goes into what you guys do. I listen often to the songs that Janice sings.

I think we are all lucky to have her as part of our musical family.
