Marty, Goodness! that was far too short!! Diggin' the Dixie. Nice added Bass (of course) Nice clear vocals. Excellent mix. "CiCi, she can see all the glee that's surrounding me." HEHEHE. HEHEHE.  fj Ooo, I love it when a comment starts off with "goodness." Thanks, Floyd. Diggin' your addition to the CiCi line. Kinda reminds me of "They're coming to take me away...Ah-ha-he-he." What a cool groove Marty. Loved the bounce to the tune. Trombone and clarinet were a perfect add to the tune. Super vocal and lyric. Well done.. Loved the video... Thanks for ALL your comments, Scott. So much appreciated!! My favorite part of the video was the whacky guy with the propeller hat. Marty, Fun old time motif tune. You captured vibe very well. Fantastic bass and vocals! You have a talent for these More! Clear mix and listens very well. Thank you for sharing. Misha. P.S. One of my favorite bands is Squirrel Nut Zippers. Check them out: https://youtu.be/na1yQ_fKUF0 Thanks, Misha!! Never heard of the Nuts, but because of your recommendation I know them now. Love that raunchy trumpet and baritone sax. Yeah, that's the stuff. Very Cool song. I could picture Al Jolson doing that song in the first talky picture.. LOL
Your vocal fits the style perfectly. Production is great full without being over the top
Very nice job Ha, thanks, Elliott. Jolson? Yeah, mammy. How I love it...

You are a perfect fit for Dixieland, Marty! Janice had “happy feet” from the get-go.  We love all the rhymes and now know who to go to when looking for help with them! Your vocal and bass are ace and the clarinet is so good. What a good video too. Love the iguana and the happy colorfully dressed dancer. I bet you had fun making this vid! Swing on! J&B
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos

Marty ...
I thought I'd commented on this yesterday. But, nope - this getting old stuff messes with you 'tween the ears!
Love Dixieland. You just gave me another reason to keep my resolve in that thought. This was so much fun! Always love your music - seriously!
Best to you ...
Alan

Hahahaha - grinning from ear to ear! Brilliant! The bass is wonderful, the melodies are fun, your singing is on point ... and I'm dancing like there is no tomorrow! Reminds me of Baloo's "The Bare Necessities", from "The Jungle Book" ;-) - and that's a MAJOR compliment :-) Superb.
Fun, fun video!!! Much darker lyrics than the tune suggests, am I right? ;-) Superb job, the juxtaposition of those darker lyrics to the dancing tune is seamlessly done. Hats off to you, sir - bravo. Hey, James. Thanks for the MAJOR compliment, an I get it. I always wanted to do a version of When I See An Elephant Fly from the cartoon version of Dumbo. Actually the lyrics are more nonsense than anything, but I'd say the singer and CiCi are happier than the singee. Marty,
Sweet set of Realtracks you expertly put together here! Love the way your musical mind works! Your bass work in this is phenomenal! You were hitting more notes than McCartney did in Nowhere Man! Love Your vocal, always makes me smile! Your positivity and encouragement to others around here is one of the best things that's happened to this forum in recent years!
Take care, TB Thanks so much, Torrey. So much easier working with the PGMusic horns. I remember once in the 70s I charted out horn parts for a song I wrote. The tenor player looked at me and said, "This whole section here is impossible to play on a tenor sax." I immediately went out to buy a book on musical instrument limitations. SO much easy to have these guys do it. Marty,
What a fun listen that was . . . Going dixieland on this was a moment of inspiration . . . just the perfect mood and feel for this lyric and your vocal shines. A toe-tapper for sure. Very cool!
Hope all is well in your world,
Deej Thanks, Deej. Polka was the only other option for this comedy, and I didn't even check to see if BiaB has any. This is a classic Marty composition. Very upbeat and optimistic.
I love the style. It works well with the melody and lyrics. A step back in time.
Bass line is primo! Thanks, Scott. Truly only wrote this cuz I like playing bass over it.

Woo-hoo Creative change from the usual, but still the trustworthy positive vocal delivery and fun play with words and rhymes. Enjoyed the band that supports that "crazy melody", the soloists bring smile. I can definitely imagine Marty of 1920's being very popular with this kind of songs Janne

J&B Thanks, you two!! Happy your feet were groovin' to it, Janice. Hey, you know I'm always just a text message away from helping you in any way I can, even like these rhymes-with-no-reason nonsense lyrics. Yes, this was a fun vid to make --mostly cuz it was short. I like that crazy dancin' guy, too. My favorite part was watching the reactions of all the people around him. Marty ...

Alan Hi, Alan. Actually you were the first to comment on the new Soundcloud account I had to make because I didn't want to keep deleting old to bring in new. Thanks for all you say, and I'm with ya on that getting old... Woo-hoo Creative change from the usual, but still the trustworthy positive vocal delivery and fun play with words and rhymes. Enjoyed the band that supports that "crazy melody", the soloists bring smile. I can definitely imagine Marty of 1920's being very popular with this kind of songs Janne Thanks, Janne (I say with a big smile). Yes, it would've been fun to sing and play in speakeasies.
