Marty, Janice, and bud have a winner on their hands.
Great lyrics, vocals, and mix.
Very clever song.
PS - I know a few families that experienced that!
Hi Marty.
Very amusing with the two sides of the story and mandolin on speed.
Vic Hi Marty and Janice, Very clever song, love the lyrics. For my tastes the vocals, especially yours Marty, should be a bit higher in the mix. But no one else mentioned that, so I'm probably wrong  Loved it at the end when the two of you are singing together, nicely done! Thanks guys! Janice

Sounds like a fun song, first lyrical wizardry "Once I had a wife but then got back my life" and then the duelling mandolins made me smile even more. And finally the duetting Marty & Janice was the umbrella in this pleasant cocktail. Great mix, especially the drinks, enjoyed  Janne Thanks, Janne. I like how you say the fun just kept getting better. Wow! This is REALLY good. Great song! Great performances. And yes, some people just should not reproduce. Thank you, David. Unfortunately the drive to procreate is an equal-opportunity employer.

Hi Janice and Marty
A good idea to sing a duet on this song
You guys are doing really great
A great production
Many greetings
Andi ;-) Very cool match of voices and character actors.
The melody/counter melody part is fabulous.
Sadly it's a story of truth in so many ways.
Many, many men in 60s Australia went from work directly to the pub and eventually home for dinner when done. That fog of alcohol caused many families to worry & fret about how things would transpire over the evening meal.
Musically it's a cracker too. Jaunty and bouncing under a sad tale - almost a sea shanty.
Terrific work Marty & Janice. Thanks for mentioning my small part! J&B

Marty,
Love this sweet-sounding tune! Also enjoyed that little pick me up in the middle section! I played before reading your description and got a big wow moment when Janice came in! Nobody had to tell me who she was I knew! Sounding great as usual! She's on more recordings ( and rightfully so) than Micheal McDonald! Loved it man!
Thanks, TB Thank you Torrey! Not so many as it might seem. J&B do at best one song a month ... and then a few collabs with friends here and there. Love your latest!

Marty, Janice+Bud, Good collaboration. Fun take on sad subject. Ace vocals by you and Janice. Solid musical bed + neat solo. If you don't think what song is about, easy listen Thank you for sharing, Misha. P.S. Marty you should try Alt-F8 This is non modal partial regen. If interested, shoot me PM, I will show you how I use it.

Wow! A fun bit of silliness that's really well done... and then becomes even more delightful at the end. Love it.

Usually now I go through each RT and redo any measure where they get carried away. They always do. Wow!

I like that you start with the male unreliable narrator, and then our perspective changes when the wife pipes in. Music bed is pleasant that belies the true nature of their relationship.
