PB&J, The Rhumba beat always breaks up a standard blues set with a little happy feel. My personal favorite for this kind beat is Robben Ford. Peter and Janice are locked in on this one. You can feel the fun. Y'all manage to unearth some PD classics and bring them back to life with a new updated feel. The mix sounds balanced and open and that singer is right at home in this genre. So laid back and relaxed. This is how it's done! Tom Thank you very much Tom! Great to see you back and hear your most cool productions. BTW, we also like Robben. We appreciate the kind review. J&B

Janice, Bud & Peter ...
Fabulous redo of a great old classic Blues. My father died in 1968 and he was the first thought that came to mind - not because of the houses of ill repute, mind ya! But, he couldn't say words that ended in "lm" wuithout separating the them into two syllables: fill-um for film, ellum-um for elm, call-um for calm, pall-um for palm, etc.
Peter's intro and outro were just so dang good! Perfect guitar tone and style for the genre. And as far as my ears are concerned, Janice can dance all over a vocal any time she wants. She has an uncanny way of expressing the emotion appropriate for the genre.
As far as lyric tweaking and production elements, it couldn't be better. A person can hear a song, listen to a song, or appreciate a song. The music you guys put up always deserves the appreciation factor. Excellent contributions by all of you.
Take care ...
Alan
Thank you for the positive, thoughtful and supportive review. It’s greatly appreciated! J&B

I'm not familiar with this song, but your version sounds mighty fine.
The whole arrangement is so craftily put together. With Peter and Janice here, you've got a winner.
Magnificently done! That is greatly appreciated! J&B

Thanks to everyone who commented on my part in the song.
It was as always a pleasure to participate.
I love how Janice brings these old songs to life. It's also just great fun to make music with them.

WOW you three did it again, hit one out of the park
Loved the groove
Janice, loved the vocal
Peter, loved the guitar licks and leads
Bub, loved the mix
I loved the entire song
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

J&B and Peter,
I like the cautionary tale in the lyrics and especially the way that rhumba beat lifts the blues into almost a happy place.
Excellent vocals, guitar and production skills on display... of course!
Great revival work.
Robert Thank you Robert. We like your term “cautionary tale.” And yes the rhumba beat is quite the contrast. We appreciate your review and all you noted! J&B

Janice/Bud/Peter...
Y'all make every PD song you arrange sound like it belongs to you and you alone.
A very cool BAND. Nice percussion choice...
Janice kills the vocal. Would expect no less.
Peter's fills fit like an old, comfortable pair of shoes. Nice.
Excellent mix.
(Although... that crash cymbal jumps out of my speakers. By the end, it bugged me some.
Maybe it's just my speakers - since no one else even mentioned it...cymbal-hater that I am)
The feel of a classic.
Of course.
fj
Thanks for the fine review! The crash cymbal is on a separate track so that likely makes it more noticeable ... perhaps too much so  And, yeah, these 100 year old tunes are a lot of fun to work with. Much appreciated! J&B

Hi Janice & Bud,
The rhumba blues style is well chosen. Beautiful musical construction. It's pleasant. Ozone and nectar are very good products for mixing and I can see the result. I appreciated. Well done.
Kindly regard

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."
