That's one spirited song. Peter's interjections really add to the UP vibe.
Terrific writing & performance all 'round.
COOOOL.
It gave off some of the vibe of the "other" tracks on A Night At The Opera. Thanks Ray! We’ll check out those other songs. J&B

I'd pay to see this band! Everything is clear, has it's space, and fills in to make the sound complete. Great talent and execution are what make this song sound effortless...which takes a lot of effort in years of honing skills.
Love the melodic and harmonic choices. SO cool! 2:39 was brilliant as well just flat out cool. The guitar helps to make this track feel like a unified band with some fantastic choices in playing.
All 3 of you should be feeling good about this one! Thanks for sharing it!

Cool one. This one stands out to me as being one of the better ones I have heard from you in a while. The simple ABAB style works well.
There are no unusual chords. Just chords that others tend to not use as much as they could. I liked it a lot. Keep putting those unique chords in unexpected places. They don't work in every song and in every circumstance but when they do, it's a thing of beauty.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Janice, Bud, and Peter, when I see these three names together I know I'm in for some really great ear candy!
Outstanding vocal, guitar, and mix.
Peter always knows what to play to enhance your songs.
We all know that Janice could sing the dictionary and it would sound great!
Bud's mixes are always professional.
What more could we ask for?
Another winner.
Loved it. Thanks Mario for the generous comments. Hmmmm … maybe we oughta explore the dictionary for a new project. It would likely yield a more sensible song than ChatGPT.

I guess this is thematically the country version (I hope it's actually country) of my song "A world is waiting for me" Very catchy, gets my feet moving. As always, Janice's voice is what I love the most, but the production and guitars aren't bad either  Great work by the three of you! Well, I suppose Janice’s US Southern accent puts a country vibe on any style she does Thanks for the nice comments. We all three appreciate it! J&B

It gave off some of the vibe of the "other" tracks on A Night At The Opera. Ray Interesting comparison I'll have to re-visit the track list. Peter Hey You Three ...
As always, a stellar song and production. Exceptional lyrics. Bob already commented on the lyrical portion that really appealed to me. Peter just plays the heck out of ya'll's songs. Everything is spot-on. Of course, there's never a doubt of that being otherwise.
A real nice, peppy empowerment song. This is a little different than your typical production, but different in a delicious way!
Lots to like here. Best to all of you.
Alan Thanks Alan appreciate the comments. Peter

J&B....well that was fun! no blues here...I love the bounce and tempo...the chorus has a Mamas and Papas vibe...love it! Peter is seamless with the track and the solo is typical Peter stuff (tight and pro)...great vocals and harmonies and another pro sounding mix Bud! Thanks for all you wrote. It’s very supportive and appreciated! J&B

Too much FUN, y'all!
"Light-hearted" - not a term I'd associate with your bread-and-butter. But this one is thoroughly painted with Light Hearted! And y'all do it well.
The BAND is Tight. And Fun.
Peter weaves his way through perfectly.
The MIX is Luscious. Crystal.
Janice is...Janice. Which means Perfection. Always.
Killer Harmonies.
So. Much. Fun.
And..."outta here..." (he says)

Hey, you guys, I have a request. Take a random page from an old phone book, and you folks will turn it into a hit. What another beauty you have here. Such enthralling vocals and a pleasingly fun guitar in an excellent mix of a wonderfully uplifting-in-spite-of-the-apparent-anchors song in the "a simple 'two verses, chorus and I’m outta here' little ditty" style. You make it sound easy, but we know it as incredibly good work. Thank you Marty! Lyrics do not come easy to us so the old phone book idea is great. Janice could scat them! J&B

Janice and Bud,
Pretty fun ditty all the way around! Great solo guitar to match the awesome vocals. Love the surprise slide vocals in V2! My ears were expecting a different rhyme scheme for the chorus (AA-BB) but it didn't take away from the song. Great job!
Dewey Thanks! Glad you liked it. We admittedly tend to take the easiest route when it comes to rhyme schemes. J&B

The mix/productions sounds professional. I wish I could get the same sound.
Someone mentioned this is one of the tops of your most recent songs. I agreed. I love the chorus.
Vocal is superb and so is that guitar!

Wowf. That left me off-kilter.  I love the bouncy feel and the mix, and the guitar is inventive. And Janice is always a delight to listen to. But the song refuses to play by the rules, and I'm a lazy listener. Still, a fun listen, and well done! Thanks David. Hey, reckon I’m dense … what rules did we break? J&B

Always pleasure to hear also a lighter side of J&B Upbeat, self-confident and smoothly rolling ahead, many nice lines in the lyrics like "my routes aren't on an app but they endure". Enjoyable chord progression especially in the chorus section. The vocals, guitar playing and the mix are on top quality level as always, sounds very effortless for you to stay there a song after another Janne

Excellent tune. Sorry or the short note. Typing is a bit of a chore. Broke my right hand golfing. Got hit with a line drive.

Hi Janice, Bud and Peter,
What a joyful song!
It was pure pleasure listening to it.
Peter did a great job with those swirling solos throughout the song
The band is terrific and Janice? Great as ever.
Always enjoy her singing about nasty guys (DON ’T TRY TO FIND ME ON YOUR OLD MAP, JOY IS MY PATH)
Yes, I still have that smile on my face while typing these words.
Love it,
Hans
