 My Santa Man After a remix with new fx and mastering of Santa Man (for a Songtradr submission) and since it’s obviously  a Christmas tune we thought we’d do a rare repost from three years ago. In the spirit of the Holidays perhaps you can forgive us for that! So here’s version 2.0 of a little two minute Christmas ditty…. Happy Holidays and thank y’all very much for your time to listen to our songs and comment over the past year. We appreciate you! J&B For the tech folks...

J&B,
We forgive and thank you for the repost- this sounds great ( as it always did)!
Two minutes that put the right kind of harp and that bluesy angel voice into Christmas.

I remember this one, I see I left a comment over there back then. Well worth a repost, such a fun song, and always a treat to hear Janice do her thing I don’t recall how it sounded then but man, you knocked it out of the park with mix V2! Sounds fantastic through my studio ‘phones. Very much enjoyed hearing this!

Hi J and B,
Just listened to your nice boogie-song. Sound like the old days, but better of course, because of the vocals!
On SC I wrote they (sometimes) call me the Santa man too. Is that a good thing? For you?
Nice Christmas too,
Hans

J&B,
Coool sounding blues. Janice, your performance is stellar! Bud, I did not hear this first time, so will comment on what I am hearing now. You done excellent work in mixing/mastering this. Got nice vintage vibe to it, as this style of music deserves, yet everything is audible and vocals are clear! Thumbs up to one of my favorite creative teams!
BTW, love the photo.
Thank you for sharing!
Misha.

Hi guys, This is way too good to be oh so short. How about sticking a couple of guitar breaks in there after each pair of verses. It is the blues after all. And a damn good one. Keep 'em coming.
Music is what feelings sound like.

Janice and Bud,
This version pf "Santa Man" really does the job and then some.
There's nothing I like better than listening to Janice singing against a blues backing. Her vocals and the blues sit together so comfortably that it's like that proverbial match made in heaven.
I'd love to be able to write in the blues format as well as you two do. Unfortunately, it's a genre that challenges me so all I can do is sit back, listen and enjoy... and when it's a J&B creation, that's a really, really easy thing to do!
Many good tidings for Christmas and 2020,
Noel
