J&B and Floyd:
Really nice . . . that acoustic guitar falls so softly on the ears and sets up Janice’s sweet vocal. Nice harmonies throughout. Good write. Like that fiddle an awful lot. Excellent production and arrangement. Nice touch with the banjo. Top stuff . . . good luck with it!
All my best you folk,
Deej Thanks man. Those are very kind words that spoke to our hoped for objectives. Much appreciated! J&B

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

I recall that song from a ways back.
I like this acoustic remix a lot. Nice work. Thank you Herb. Glad you liked it. Sometimes remixes work for us and other times, well …  J&B J&B and Floyd...you guys make a great writing, producing and mastering team...first off Floyd's lyrics are always great and his melodies are top-notch...I love the track especially the fiddle solo (reminds me of the track from Ken Burns Civil War documentary)...Janice your vocal is superb and fits the melody so well...for my two cents worth I would have loved to hear a more dynamic chorus with more variance from the verses...I think a harmony above the lead could help with that...BUT this is one man's opinion and two cents is really all it's worth...you guys are a great team and produce such superb music! Glad you liked it. We got lucky with that fiddle solo eight years ago and left it alone 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. 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. J&B

Hi Guys,
Good song with a good chorus.
I particularly liked the banjo for a bit of variation in the last verse.
Best Regards
Nigel Thanks Nigel. I was always a bit conflicted about the banjo so thanks for mentioning it. J&B

First a new song with Floyd, Janice and Bud, then one with Janice & Bud with Floyd. What a greet start to the day.
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. J&B

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.

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

Lovely song. What a beautiful collaboration. Violin was so nice with your voice Janice. Well done Thank you Scott! J&B Beautiful. I agree with Bob (rsdean), the lines he highlights are stunning. The whole production is great, though. Janice, her usual high standard. Floyd: ditto, beautiful, unobtrusive harmonies. Slick, professional job, on the production/mastering side - not that I'm an expert in that, but there we are Well done! Thanks for those generous comments! J&B

Hey I really like this!
I love this style of music and you do it so well.
Very earthy and real.
Great lyrics, vocals and production. Nice!
Earthy and real is what we strive for. Thank you! J&B You all are so talented it is scary!
Super write!
"dark clouds moving in while you are moving out" what a great line!
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 J&B

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
New location, new environment, new music coming soon

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."
