This bouncing bubbly song really made me smile  Great band and enjoyable guitar playing. Excellent crisp mix, although I have to admit, I missed some vinyl scratches. But true honey of this song is Janice's voice. I would love to see her singing this live with the band, dancing in 1920's costume. Janne

Perfect. The backing tracks are perfect. That vocal is perfect. Acoustic guitar licks - perfect. A gorgeous mix. An instant classic.
Thanks mr jane! J&B

I've never heard the original, but I would have guessed it was from the 1920s. Sounds authentic. Great upbeat vibe and of course fantastic work by all involved. Oh, and I LOVE the "vocal" solo or whatever you call something like that  Thanks I also love the scat vocal. Peter

Mornin' Peter & Janice....
I'm not familiar with the original but this is a cool, easy listening rendition. Janice's vox style is unmistakable with the stellar delivery. Good axe work Peter.
Very cool cut. Well done!

So cool! Everything fits the era and mood of the song. Janice's scat singing and the intentional breaking of her voice in a few places are really special. And the piano track puts the perfect icing on the project. And Peter's guitar is spot on (isn't it always?).
Very nice, folks! A most enjoyable listen!
Alan Thanks a lot Alan. Peter

Bouncy and driving! Great vocals, and some tasty guitar playing as well! I could tell Bud didn't do the mix because the FX chains weren't listed in the notes.  Nice work, all! Thanks David - FX chains (a bit of this and a bit of that  Peter

Love the groove happening on this one, Peter. Nice work on the guitar of course, tasteful and right on point. Love hearing you trade licks with Janice!
Speaking of which, Janice sounds awesome as usual. Love it when the scat comes in!
Never heard this song before BTW, thanks for the backstory.

You've authentically captured the essence on this song. Great performances, arrangement, and production. This songs begs to be on a 78, although I don't think many turntables have that speed option anymore.

Peter & Friends. Sorry to be so late for the party. Fantastic re-take! Very energetic & even narrative is somewhat sad, performed in very positive manner. Great guitar work, and Janice is perfect on it. Awesome scat! Mix is spotless. Nice artwork, I am a fan of antique images  Thank you for sharing. Misha.

Ok!!! New tone in Janice's vocal timbre ... very clear, very direct. The scat singing is perfectly on point. And I mean it: perfectly. Ella Fitzgerald would have been proud. Peter's guitar playing is top notch. The rhythms are tight, one can tell people have been doing their homework, here  But this recording is made by Janice's stellar singing. Never heard her sound better. Her best, perhaps?  BRAVI, all ... a special "well done" to Janice, though, on this one ... taking her place amongst the illustrious names who recorded this song before - rightfully and deservedly so, in my view. Brilliant, BRAVA, BRAVI, all ... oh, I simply must mention Bud, too ... a super clean mix. Hats off.
