Great vocals, and very pleasant harmonies. And I surely enjoyed the sonic charm and the skills of all the players, Dave's solo is so hot that the smoke alarm must have had trouble holding back its scream. If I could ask for something, the bass solo would have been much longer wink

Haha. Dance band,huh? Thanks, Janne. We're better live, but we dance better in video. Well, those clips were from different shows. We end every set with the Bottle Song. Haha. What a great comment, Janne.

Like Hans, we were also reminded of Stefan’s music.

You’ve got a cool groove with the BiaB wrecking crew.
Along with hot guitar by Dave, sweet harmonies and a fine lead vocal.
Love your bass and the cool little interlude with the bass and drums.
And a witty lyric that anyone who has been in a band can relate to. smile

Cool way to start the year!

Y'all keep on the dancing smile

Thanks, you two. RayC also mentioned Stefan. Yeah, he is remarkable. Sorry I gotta make this quick, but on my way here I noticed you have a new one. Thanks also for all your help and inspiration in my mixing education.

Thanks, John. And another big welcome to the forum. Your photo reminds me of an incredible guitar-playing friend of 35 years.

Your vocals sound better than ever, and blends well with the excellent background harmony vocalist!
Dave sounds like he channeled a little bit of Brian May (Crazy Little thing called love)!
Guys, your talent is on full display here and it's wonderful!

Thank you, Paul. Dave, at first was reluctant to play over horns, but I told him to ignore them and they will play under him.

I think this is one of your best vocals - sounds great. Your songs are always worth the time to listen.

Great work! For sure!

Thanks, Alan. It was always good being in a house band on open-mic night and having the next contestant say, "12-bar Blues in A." Much bettter that the trumpet player who turns to us and says, "4 flats. Ready? 1-2...1-2-3-4," and just starts blowing at about 255BPM.

Enjoy whatever happens!
