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! Hey, great to have you back around the forum and, wow, thank you for those most generous comments that are much appreciated by the three of us! J&B

J&B + Peter,
Excellent uplifting groove on this tune. Super lyrics! Ace vocals. It seems Janice is very comfortable singing this. Peter's parts sound very natural. Mixed very well. Personally, I think this is one of your best in 2023. Enjoyed it very much and thank you for sharing.
Misha.

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. Thank you Herb. Janice tried some other chords but said the ones she used were “right” for her melody notions. And Bud is more than willing to always defer to that.  Glad you like it! 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)
Well … how could we ask for more? Compliments regarding every objective we had. Yeah man, we’ll take that with big smiles. Thanks!!!! 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! Thank you very much for all you said. And, hey, your mixes sound great! 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 Thanks for the very kind and supportive remarks! And for mentioning the mix. Effortless? I wish! Fortunately for Bud Janice has excellent high f hearing

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. Thanks Scott. Hope the hand is healing quickly. J&B 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 Putting a smile on your face is great. Especially when you’re hearing about another nasty guy! We all appreciate the kind review. J&B J&B + Peter,
