Wonderment Janice bubbles over with optimism and daily reads quotes to Bud about it. She thought that could work for a song so ole pessimistic Bud said, go for it. 😀 She picked up her old Martin box and quickly wrote and arranged this short little ditty to express our feelings to PG Music and all you forum folks. We hope y’all are having holiday fun and happy upcoming new year! Thanks for listening and comments are more than welcome. Janice: Lyric, melody and arrangement / Vocals > Izotope Nectar Piano: MIDI SuperTrack 1809 (comped) > Logic Grand Steinway > Waves CLA Unplugged > Ozone Imager Bass: RealTrack 366 > Waves Bass Rider > Waves Magma BB Tubes Rhythm Guitar: RealTrack 1596: Waves CLA Unplugged Drums: RealDrums NashvilleEven > Waves CLA Drums Mastering: Logic EQ > Waves LinMB > Ozone Imager > Waves L2 Maximizer > Izotope Tonal Balance > Logic Loudness Meter WONDERMENT less is more, more or less there is no way to happiness don’t you know that happiness is the way-ay-ay-ay look over here, look over yonder, always be on the lookout for wonder, here’s my gift to you my optimistic attitude, ooh, ooh, ooh treasure life’s melody that’s so divine share your smile, let your inner light shine open your eyes and hearts and minds to joy and peace and hope and love may this holiday season fill your hearts with love thanks to PG Music, forum members, family & friends here’s to a happy new year full of music and joy for us all!

fj Thanks … a lot. When Janice mentioned that line my immediate thought was expand it to a hook for a complete tune. Might have to do that. 😀 It’s an unattributed quote. Glad you liked the message and thanks for your encouragement and support over the past year - heck, over the past decade! J&B

Thank you for that message, I needed that ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Like Floyd, I think "less is more, more or less" is poetry at its finest. I will definitely steal that. I wish you both happy holidays too and a good start to 2024

Oh, pessimistic Bud, I don't think I know you. You always seem so uplifting. That could be the Janice Influence.  Maybe if one is up, the other is down, and you guys show that strong balance in this wonderful Wonderment. Thanks so much for all you do. I thoroughly enjoy the help you've given me --all of us. Janice, you recently mentioned that your best friends these days are right here in the forum, and I totally agree with that. A wonderful giving community of helpful and encouraging songwriters. All the folks at PGMusic are also extraordinary in their support and creativity, which in today's coporate world is unheard of. Enjoy the rest of this season, and I look forward to what you'll sahre in the coming year. Oh, wait, I didn't mention the song. So less is more.
