Great, unobtrusive guitar fills, tasteful percussion (I also play the Cajon), and, of course, Janice's harmony vocals alone make this song worth listening to.
What bothers the producer-me a little is the double triple "snare" fill, it's played so evenly that it sounds artificial/quantized in an otherwise very organic-sounding production.
But apart from that, the mix and production are _really_ good [Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]
Enjoyed my listen.
A lot!

Thanks for the nice comments. Glad you liked it. Well, the cajon … after mixing it in we felt the fills were too nondescript but not wanting to record again we built the turnarounds using the “snare” hit. I was not particularly pleased with the result. We didn’t align them exactly with the bar markers but rather used Logic Pro’s Groove Trqck feature to lock them to a RD drum track playing the triplet. We hoped that would keep them from sounding quantized but apparently the drummer was too accurate. 😀 But then we had reached the point of “mixing is never finished - just abandoned. “

Thanks again,

J&B
