All comments good or bad are very welcome.

Let's do it again

Let's do it again


Let's do it again

just like we used to do

we did it all night long

Let's do it again


C’mon, jump in the night is young

let's jitterbug and cut the rug

I''l get you at six - off to the ritz

swing and sway, wadda you say?



Let's do it again

if we remember how

I'd like to do it now

Let's do it again

C’mon, jump in the night is young

We would dance up a storm

Let's do it again

My partner says that I am stuck in a time warp after Hanky Panky , Jailhouse BW and now this . She now wants me to return to 2021 so I guess my next project will be a little more contemporary smile

Gary,

An excellent use of BIAB. Great BAND. One of the best uses of the crooner horns I've heard.

Good vocals. Solid mix.

And a good "simple" write that works perfectly.

Really well done all around.

Hi Gary,

Original spoken intro and outro. Your well-paced composition is well mixed. I like your well put voice that comes out well. Good use of biab realtracks. The whole is well done. I appreciated.

Kindly regard

Love it, Gary. Perhaps you are stuck, but, man, not stuck for creative expressions. Outstanding vocals and harmony. Wow, those horns sounds great. So hot. "Sure makes a mess of this box of candy." Excellent from start to fade.

Hard to believe that is Band in a box, excellent track, and the vocals are superb, and a clarinet solo, Wow!!

There are a bunch of really excellent styles in BiaB that I know I'll never use, and it's a kick to hear people use them, especially when it's done so well, like you do here.

Great write - fits perfectly. Good singing, even if it's reluctantly done. wink

The horns, the solos, the phrasing, the harmonies - everything comes together to make this a fun recreation of this style of music.

And the spoken bit is - dare I say it - a hoot. laugh

Gary,

I liked that old time radio sound intro! That's a cool song idea and production! I think your instrumentation choices were beautiful for this! That clarinet was perfect for this! Take care, T

Hi Floyd
When posting a new song it is always a nervous wait for the first comment. When I saw that the first respondent was you Floyd I was even more nervous .
I am overjoyed to read your positive comments which mean a great deal to me. Thank you Floyd.

Hi Ronnie.
Yeah biab is a quality product. I've been using it for well over twenty years (we havn't always seen eye to eye) and I feel I have only scratched the surface of it's capabilities.
Thank you for you kind words Ronnie.
cheers
Gary.

Great sweet melody and the old time mood dance together nicely. I very much enjoyed the vocals and feel good lyrics. The band is excellent and the clarinet solo made me wonder how Woody Allen would use this song in his movie.

Gary,
An impressive use of this hardly used style- from fun intro through good vocals,great harmonies, a sweet clarinet solo and that spoken outro... everything works!
Cool,I mean, hot.

That spoken word intro (and outro) was unexpected, but fun!

Good song, you captured that era pretty well I thought, well done!
Posted By: Gary Weder Re: Let's Do It Again - 03/16/21 07:05 AM
Kiitos Janne for your nice words and taking the trouble to comment. I am thrilled that this forum provides the platform to post a song from Australia and have a talented musician (your good self) in Finland listen and comment!
Terveiset
Gary.

Hi Rob.
Nice to meet you . You say a lot with few words and I thank you very much for those powerful few words.

Nice pastiche.Good arrangement and choices.
The licorice stick swings.
I do think this could be improved by working on the beginning syllable of most phrases...they are louder/more aggressive - a fast compressor or some manual volume automation would do it.

Gary,
Sweet swinging, good times infused tune, yet definitely sounds modern. Really well made: Radio clips, composition, vocals, mix. Nothing cuts ear. Listens very well. Nice one! Reminded me of band Squirrel Nut Zippers. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Thanks Ray
Gary.

What not to like?

Joyous, well written/performed, great use of BiaB and a fine mix.

And thanks for the reminder of how cool that clarinet track is ... we once used it.

Janice says she'll be dancing around the house all day. Not hard to believe given how much she's already been dancing around smile

No need to parse this out. Just listen again!

J&B
