Needs more finger snapping  I don't know the original, but this one is toe-tapping goodness. Great band, great vocals (I LOVE your scating) and your harmonica playing is _really_ good. Enjoyed my listen. A lot ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Thanks, Brain. Yes, some finger-snapping would've been good!

Rob, this is INSANELY good! Super arrangement, GREAT harp playing and AMAZING vocals+scatting.
The musicality of this is off the charts. Just SO playful and fun, and full of...FEELING. Happy feeling, too. Which is in SUCH short supply. Love it! Well, I would let that last note decay naturally a bit longer. But at least you know I listen all the way through, right? Ha! Man, thanks, Ron, for this glowing review! Loved reading it! Yeah, that ending bothered me but I don't know how to fix it.

Excellent cover, with very cool instrumentation, including the perfect harmonica solo. It's something you could also create an instrumental of, say with jazz guitar and/or sax and/or piano solos to add to your harp. Thanks, Chay! Yeah, I didn't let Ollie take a break this time, I don't know why. Maybe next time.

Bob, an oldie but a goodie that I not only know but played a number of times. This is a fantastic version. Great vocal and scat. Super harmonica lead. Loved that walking bass. A fantastic cover. Thanks, Mario! Would love to hear the MIDI magician do a version of this. Think about it!

Nice take on an old classic! Band sounds great, and your harp is right on the money. Also really like the scat part, fun! Good one, Bob, enjoyed the listen. Thanks, Dave!

Hi Bob, You really know how to make this song sound like it comes from the 50s.
Especially singing "bebelibida" etc.! Your vocals were very beautiful and soft.
The band was also very good. But I really liked how your harmonica playing sounded!
Unfortunately, the ending was a bit too abrupt for me. Hans Thanks, Hans! The ending drove me nuts, but I wasn't able to fix it.

I haven't heard this PD song before. Good choice. Instrumentation sounds era authentic. And again, that harmonica is primo. Good delivery on the vocal. I like it real. The scat was great! Thanks, Scott! A trumpet solo woud've been great on this. Is that something you'd do in the future?

As the saying goes, this song “makes us happy as all get out!” There’s quadruple goodness in the band, your vocal, harp and scatting. Of course we love the bass as Bud played swing arrangments on his upright for decades.
We can hear the Dr. John vibe too. But also your vocal has a feel of the sassy lilt like Peggy Lee had.
Yeah, this is great and we felt like we were sitting in the little club with y’all. Loved it! J&B Thanks for the very kind review, J&B! I'd love to hear you guys do a version of this. I keep suggesting "Blue Skies" to you. Please consider doing that one. It'd be sensational!

Hi Rob.
I love this backing band. It frames your vocals and harmonica performances perfectly. It sound like you had a lot of fun putting this one together. Moreover, your enjoyment carried through into my listening experience. I very much enjoyed this.--Noel Thanks, Noel! You're the second person to say that, and yes, I really did have fun with this one. And like you say, it shows.

TuneMonger, Very nice song. Cool jazzy, bluesy and swing rhythm drums. Really good vocal. Nice blues harp solo with good tone.Other instruments, especially the bass, were great. AB Thanks, AB! Yeah, that walking bass really kicked in on the bridge.
