I could tell Bud didn't do the mix because the FX chains weren't listed in the notes. wink

Nice work, all! laugh

You guys are the master of the public domain classic.

Good job and the scat was pretty cool too.

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.

What an awesome version of the song. I did remember this one from hearing it along time ago. Maybe in a movie. Cool vocal Janice. Excellent guitar work Peter. Cool master Bud. Well done

Thanks Scott. I could always add some scratches, and some dust to the hard drive to get a 78 sound.

Thanks so much Janne! I was delighted when Peter suggested this song. Peter and I had lots of fun trading back and forth during the solo and his guitar playing always makes me smile. I enjoy watching old musicals and would absolutely love to be dressed in a 1920’s gown and could imagine myself stepping off the stage and dancing with Fred Astaire for a bit! smile

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!


I much appreciate that!

I much appreciate you saying we captured the feel of it. That was what we hoped for. Time for a vinyl release. smile

Never heard her sound better. Her best, perhaps? smile 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.


To be mentioned in the same paragraph as Ella is an honor. She is a years long favorite of mine. She could scat circles around me but it is kind of you to say that!
