When Janice sings, I even enjoy listening to Jazz music  LOVE those harmonies. Everything about this song gets 10 out of 10 from me, the lyrics, the arrangement, the production, the choice of instruments (both BIAB and Leon's part), and did I mention the vocals? This is the _really_ good stuff! Thank you for the generous and supportive comments! Janice

Good to see a new one from you, Peter! You and Leon nailed the old school jazz vibe perfectly I think, and Janice of course is brilliant. Love the solo and outro guitar work, very tasteful.
Well done! Thanks Dave! Janice

Tasteful guitar work, stunning vocals and excellent lyrics and production add up to a wonderful listen. Well done,Tom Hi Janice, Peter and Leon
Even for a non-jazzman this was a beautiful song!
Not only thanks to Janice, who always sings great, but also the accompaniment (by Peter) and especially the really beautiful text by Leon.
Enjoyed it!
Hans Thanks y’all! Nothing like a little adventure into another genre. Janice

When you four get together I know that I am in for some fantastic ear candy and this song highlights it.
You nailed the jazz standard genre.
As usual everything is as professionally sounding as possible.
Loved it. Thanks Mario! Janice Good, solid old time standard. Straight out of the cinema. Excellent expressive vocal. Beautiful guitar solo. Thank you! Janice

Peter, Janice, Bud and Leon,
This is fantastic listening.
The overarching sound is warm and engaging, and the lyric and melodic journey is soulful and heartfelt.
I'm not sure that it's possible for music to get any better than this.
The BIAB quartet is a perfect fit: (a) for Janice's outstanding vocals; (b) for Leon's very well crafted song; (c) Peter's highly polished guitar work.
Pulling all the individual components together is Bud's exceptional mixing. He really has the knack for getting everything to sit perfectly!
I really enjoyed sitting back with my eyes closed and listening.
--Noel

I always enjoy Janice's vocals and Bud's bespoke mastering. Janice's vocal performance really shines on this track, and Bud's mixing brought out all the nuances in her voice. Thank you! That is very kind. Janice Smooth. So reminiscint of The Manhatten Transfer's treatment of some great standards like Blue Champagne. Fantastic collaboration. Love the band, lyrics and Janice's satiny vocals. I very much appreciate that! Janice

You are all stars. Janice is singing superbly, once more ... we truly are spoilt with talent, on this forum. I particularly loved her inflection on "They say a leopard can't change his spots" - clear, crisp, wonderful ... one example out of many. Leon's lyrics are beautiful, Peter is unobtrusive but vital, to my ears, to this track ... understated solos ... and Bud's mastering is stellar as usual. Congratulations, lady and gentlemen ... and thank you for sharing, we are all spiritually richer for it. You are so kind and I deeply appreciate it! Janice

Peter,
That’s an all-star team you’ve put together to bring this killer song to life. Excellent write, and Janice’s vocals pull every little bit out of them. Stellar production and arrangement. Nice guitar work to close things out. Outstanding from start to finish!

--Noel Noel, such comments from a musician like you mean so much to us and are hugely appreciated. BTW, while we mastered the song Peter did the fine mix. Thanks again and best to you. Janice
