All my best you folk,

Thanks man. Those are very kind words that spoke to our hoped for objectives. Much appreciated!

Janice Bud & floyd

Beautiful delicate song. Lovely acoustic bed and superb lead and harmony vocals (you two always blend so well).

Nice remix Bud, clear and pretty.

Excellent song.

J&B and Floyd,

I really picked up on the FJ connection with the fist strains of the intro! IT's a beautiful tune that you really did a nice job updating! Wow what a wonderful job on the vocal Janice ( and Fj also). Bud you produced this in pro style once again!

Thanks, TB

REALLY REALLY Beautiful song!!!!! I could have imagined Bonnie Raitt singing this, although I don't think she could do much better than Janice!!! Very nice work by all!!!! Take care. Greg

Thank you Herb. Glad you liked it. Sometimes remixes work for us and other times, well … smile

Glad you liked it. We got lucky with that fiddle solo eight years ago and left it alone smile

Regarding the vocal arrangement. We appreciate your thoughtful comments. We’ve listened to this version off and on for eight years are are quite used to it by now. smile Plus it’s on an album release of Merrit/floyd jane tunes so changing it would be outa the picture at this point. The proverbial fork has been stuck. smile

Thanks Nigel. I was always a bit conflicted about the banjo so thanks for mentioning it.

Such an excellent mix, Bud. You surround those amazing vocals with such interesting accompaniment, and my listening can concentrate on any one of them at any time.

Such a good write. Way to go, Kollab Kids.


Thank you Marty! An all acoustic approach would seemingly be easy due to our bluegrass years but it has its own challenges so we are happy you liked it.

I suspect I heard this before, but I can barely remember my own songs.

Great vocals, excellent arrangement (I like how you held off introducing the banjo), but it's the lyrics that get me on this song.

That's one heck of a write. laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Folks ...

I was almost positive I commented on this song yesterday - apparently not. Man, when ya get old, the circles your brain goes in aren't always perfectly round!

That was a real sweet listen. Loved the lyric! Of course, Janice's voice is a big plus. And that Jane guy was pretty dang good when he showed up.

Nice job!

Alan

The acoustic backing band fits perfectly with the vocals.
Outstanding mix.
Loved it




That is greatly appreciated Mario. That line came while sitting on the porch on a stormy morning. And floyd wrapped it in a lot of goodness smile

I love the acoustic sound. Fiddle is a nice touch. Fine performance and production.

"If you're hanging 'round to see if I'm going to fall apart
Way to go, good job, you're off to a damn good start"

Love that couplet.

Good song, guys. This sounds much better than what I have listened to live in North Texas, where a lot of Americana gets played. Sometimes live is better, sometimes not. Classic lyrical theme.

Janice is a better vocalist than most. I imagine this song will get picked up sooner or later.

This is a prime example of what can come out of BIAB.

Cheers,

Billy

Thank you. … a bunch. Everything we have learned about songwriting has sprung from our collabs with floyd over the years.

Glad the banjo worked for you.
