I say this sounds terrific Noel. Made me feel like I was in one of those grand 40's nightclubs. For some reason my SC ap on this tablet is not letting me do a heart - like symbol otherwise you and several others would have one. grrr Love this Noel. Hi Josie, Thanks for visiting the thread and having a listen. I appreciate the comments. All the best, Noel

Noel,
Wonderful opening! Very nice piano! This tune is a very fun song. I love these chord progressions very well. Your vocal and lyrics perfect fit this tune. Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Noel,
You have such a feel for this type of music. The write and arrangement are so authentic and truly outstanding.
I also noticed that you are using the upper register of your voice more on this song - it really sounds wonderful. One of your very best performances.
Going back for another listen...
Bob Hi Bob, Thanks for dropping in. I appreciate that you had a chance to have a listen. Thanks for the comments, too. All the best, Noel

Noel,
This sounds like something that came out of Tin Pan Alley!
The dancing/entrancing and you-and-me/company rhymes are especially nice. They hit the ear delightfully. As does the cadence of the "What do you say..." AND "Come On".
Nice instrumentation and an excellent mix. The solo is well done. Your vocal is a real standout in this. So well recorded, so clear and so "right" in the way it sits perfectly in the mix.
That piano does have a really nice sound...
Very well done!
fj Agreed!! Love it!! I really love that old standard sound. I have played around with it and will post something soon in that vein. The solo sounds custom.....sometimes that just works so well in BIAB! Wonderful!!! Take care. Greg Hey Greg, It's always a delight to see that you've visited! Thank you. I'm looking forward to hearing your 'old standard' vibe song! All the best, Noel

Noel,
What an enjoyable listen this is—really a pleasure to the ears! Light and breezy; just makes you feel good inside listening to it. And, not surprising, but terrific work on the production on this. Outstanding stuff!
My humble regards,
Deej Hi Deej, Good to see you! Thank you for taking the song for a spin. Much appreciated. All the best, Noel

What a cool, catchy, bouncing song. Personally, I wouldn't change anything or have any suggestions. I likes it the way it tis!
Now, that being said...
There is such a large part of me that would love to hear it one of two different ways 1st is possibly with the old time phonograph type of sound with a bit of crackle and all. It just lends itself to it. IF that was done and someone played this as a song from that period; I would bite hook, line, and sinker.
2nd would be, as mentioned, a backdrop to a movie. I would love to see people dancing, a band playing, and a crooner doing "his thing" on a stage. I would love to also hear the sounds of the crowds sitting at their tables, and the applause at the end.
Applause well deserved either way! Hi Caaron, Thanks for visiting! You know, it never occurred to me to try creating a mix that had some old-time phonographic effects. That's quite an interesting thought. Next time I get Reaper out, I'll try some and see how it appeals. The Big Band with Audience idea is also excellent. I'm not sure that I have the skills necessary to pull that one off, though! Small group ensembles are definitely where I feel most comfortable. I appreciate your time to listen and to make some comments. Thanks again, Noel

Really beautiful Noel!
Those lyrics are sublime and your vocals are outstanding!
What settings did you use in Nectar to process the vocals? They are so warm and clear. Hi David, Thank you! I always appreciate your support. If you haven't yet seen the post, you can find out about my setting for Nectar at the link below. https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=524211#Post524211All the best, Noel

Noel, I loved the use of the different bass tracks. Your arrangement is put together with great skill and your vocal styling is smooth and perfect for the genre. Crystal clear mix that just can’t be improved in any way. Another uplifting gem for your catalog. I immensely enjoyed it, Tom Hey Tom, Thank you for passing through the thread. I always smile when I see that you've called in. Appreciate the comments. All the best, Noel

Hi Noel hope all is well with you!
Song Overall impression Retro – becoming your speciality! done with affection and respect Mix / Production all sounded well balanced to me Instrumentation Piano phrases are judiciously placed Not all the solo (trumpet?) works for me Vocals you’ve worked hard on your vox Noel and it shows! What I really liked Slick production well structured What you might like to return to the ‘outro’ lyrics seem a little odd to me – not altogether in phase with the rest of the song. Hey Marc, As I mentioned in your thread, it's really good to see you back in the forum! Thanks for having a listen. I appreciate the detailed feedback. When I'm creating a song, I always find myself too close to the material to hear it objectively and that's why I really appreciate the thoughts of others. You've given me some good things to think about. All the best, Noel

Hi Noel ...
This is one of my very favorite genres of music and you aced it in every possible way. It's like listening to the soundtrack of a 1947 classic movie (but with better production skill and tools). My mother had a classic voice for this music and you brought back some great memories of her.
The mix is great... everything balanced and perfectly situated. This is the best vocal I;ve heard from you. A simply wonderful listen and skillful creation.
Wishing you the very best ...
Alan

A little while back, floyd jane made a post about EZ Keys being offered at a better-than-bargain-basement price. I jumped on the wagon and purchased a copy. This song arose from playing around with my then new toy. I thought I'd try my hand at using BIAB to re-create a 1940s styled jazz quintet (drums, piano, guitar, singer, soloist). Noel.... Nothing I can add to the favorable comments already stated....all of which I concur with. Your vocals are very distinct and pleasing to the auditory receptors. You performed the song and this genre perfectly....relaxed and deliberate. Reminds me of an innocent, more care free state of mind during my youth prior to my military picnic. Very well done.....carry on. Hi Wayne, Thanks for taking the time. I really appreciate it. This is a genre of music that I really feel at home with. The Tin Pan Alley days of songwriting were full of amazing lyricists and melodists. Thanks to Youtube, I get the opportunity to study these works of yesteryear in detail and BIAB lets me imitate the greats! All the best, Noel

I enjoy listening to your songs. Always put me in a good mood.
EZKeys has been a really fun piece of software for me also. I put something on and play guitar along with it often.
Cheers,
Billy

Shigeki Adachi Hi Shigeki Adachi, I sincerely apologise for taking so long to get back to you and to thank you for listening. These days, Life always seems to have a surprise just waiting around the corner for me and one that usually takes me away from the forum for a bit. I hope that all is travelling well for you now. All the best, Noel

Alan Hi Alan, Thank you for having a listen! I always appreciate hearing from you and Di. As I see it, the 30s and 40s were terrific times for music. Some of the best melodists and lyricists ever to create songs come from that period. I'm really glad that my song inspired some memories of your mum. Whenever I write something, I always hope that it means something to someone, somewhere. I so sorry that it has taken me some time to reply to you. I hope that all is travelling along as well as possible for you and Di. Thank you again and please know that my best healing thoughts are always heading your way. Noel
