A super cut! Wonderful. You three cook together. The band rocks too. Excellent work to all of you. Very cool ending.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too.

Hello Janice,Bud and Peter,
It is a very pleasant composition to celebrate a Merry Christmas. In Europe, this year, it will be discreet because we are limited in the number of participants for this family's party. But thank you very much for this melody that warms our hearts.
Kindly regards
Derochette
alias JaniJackFlash Thanks! And as mentioned in the lyric we will have a party of two. Just us. So we are self limiting! Have a great holiday and be safe. J&B

Hi Janice, Bud & Peter,
well, finger calluses is definitely the only thing lacking with this uplifting and toe-tapping tune. Ever since I got to know Brian Setzer I dig rockabilly a lot.
And besides the fact that it was a wonderful idea to add some Christmas greetings and that 'thank you' for PGMusic the tune is a very enjoyable listen.
Okay, Janice, is there any style you can't sing like 'd invented it? Bud, despite the lacking finger calluses the bass sounds just great (is it miked or has it got P/Us?). (I think I will copy and paste this in the future:) Awesome sound, Bud.
Peter, as usual a wonderful job on the guitar.
Thank you, you hot threesome, for so many great productions in the course of this otherwise mean and ugly year - you made my day more than once.
Happy holidays to you all and all the best for 2021 - most of all: stay safe!!!
Take care,
Stefan
PS: Has anybody heard anything about Jim? His last post was in March and he doesn't even react to a PM...

Oh yeah, I do love a little rockabilly and Janice, you sing it so well. The usual great production and playing from Bud (or should I say Boom) and a lovely little flourish from Peter to sign it off. Very best wishes to you all at the close of this extraordinary year.
Regards,
Leon [quote=Leon1] Thanks Leon! We’ve much appreciated your support and our collaborations over the year. Chicka & Boom

Sexiest Christmas song since "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claude"...I mean CLAUSE! Santa CLAUSE! Sounds wonderful and so much fun. Peter's tone is killer.
Enjoy yours. Ours will pass without too much hoopla, but that's the way we like it anyway.

In this period of heavy energy on the planet this song is such a bowl of fresh air! Fun, light, uplifting, great vocals and arrangement. I loved the ending on the guitar! Great job! Thanks for writing that about the bowl of fresh air. It means a lot to us. Glad you liked the ending! Be safe. J&B

Well if that don’t get everybody dancing around the Christmas tree nothing will! Great idea to add the cajon along with the bass track. It worked well. The bass really drives the whole thing and Bud you certainly have a great feel for the pocket. Superb vocal and some nice tasty guitar touches round out a dilly of a rockabilly holiday treat. Nice job and Happy Holidays to all of you, Tom

Thanks for the comments on my small part in this fun project.
Loved what Janice did with the vocal - she is a real chameleon and can turn her hand to almost any vocal genre.
Also enjoy it when Bud dusts off the bass - he just needs to work on those callouses.
Hope everyone has a safe Christmas (party).
Peter

This song gave me a wonderful early Buddy Holly vibe – partly because Buddy & Bob did a lot of this sort of thing and Janice has included some VERY cool hiccough/percussive vocal parts.
I think you did the bass really well.
I enjoyed the entire package.
WELL DONE – it’s a cracker of a song.
Thanks man. That Holly vibe was EXACTLY what we were hoping to achieve. And thanks for the bass mention! J&B

I read your description about just putting the reverb and slap on the master before I listened, man, what a great sound! You have some serious chops behind the board, Bud! Nice to hear you on the bass again too. Love the little opening guitar part from Peter, cool solo too. And Janice was obviously having fun with this one  Fabulous! Great stuff you three, very much enjoyed. Thanks Dave. It’s always fun to pretend I know what I’m doing. We did have fun with this and are glad you liked it. Happy Holidays! J&B

Janice, Bud and Peter:
Another great offering—like the choice of going rockabilly with this Christmas tune. Peter adds some really cool licks throughout and Janice’s vocal is great—particularly like those little bits of scatting in the breaks between lines. Fun and foot-tapping stuff!
Have a Merry Christmas!
Deej

Hi Janice and Bud.
This is an absolute jolly and rollicking joy from start to finish. At the end it is interesting to hear your (Janice) delightfully captivating spoken word accent which is very charming. Looking forward to hearing more of your exemplary music in the new year.
p.s. Thank you for all your moral support that is so important and appreciated by this newbie.

Very cool live feel to this tune. I got a Buddy Holly vibe as well. Super vocal and backtrack. Peters guitar was excellent. Box had the treble pinned on the amp and guitar. Perfect for the song. Super production Bud. Thank you Scott. Enjoy the holidays! J&B

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
