I'm just about out of words to describe how excellent your productions are.

I am a HUGE FAN!

Thanks, Bob. That's a knock-me-down comment.

I have to read them all first. But this time, I think I've got them off guard...
I already listened to the way you eat your dinner in New Orleans on YT, but because I can't get enough of the taste (!) here I am again, but now on SC!
In my family we have some vegetarians, and sometimes they are in the majority. Then we have to eat vegetarian food too, or prepare it for everyone.
So I long to dinner in New Orleans, after hearing they eat exclusive... I'm waiting for an invitation, Marty ;-)
But first I have to tell you, you made a lovely song, with a wonderful sax solo in it.
And then the fun (or promising?) lyrics. You did well on them too.

Hans
Hi, Hans. You would've been first, but you filled the tabula rasa with a plethora of benevolence so Bob, who's usually first on most posts, beat you to the Post Reply button. Nevertheless, from a guy who is a famous cook (at least in his family), I appreciate you sinking your teeth in this one --twice. Hans, you know you have an open invitation to visit our place. Perhaps we could meet in New Orleans someday.

Thanks, Bob. That's quite a compliment. The sax was the tough part in the ending mix. He's just noodeling and finally steps close to the mic because he had something to say that he just couldn't hold in anymore.

Great vocal and backing band. Loved those little dinner bells you added. Super ending also!
Naturally you bass is top notch.
Loved it
Thanks, Mario. Spent a lot of time on those dinner bells (which are actually played with triangles) to make them subtle yet present --especially in the ending.

Love the dinner bell rings

“It's dinner time in New Orleans. I loose the belt on my blue jeans.”
The above was too funny!

Okay, now you could write one about dancing to the wonderful New Orleans music. 😉

Lots of goodness here, the write, your vocals/bass, the band, the mix and the video.
Those BiaB sessions guys were cooking! smile

Well done and enjoyed by us,

J&B
Thanks, Janice & Bud. "Orleans" has a lot more rhymes than "orange." smile Yeah, I can imagine those BiaB cats sitting in the studio having a blast.

Enjoy whatever happens!
