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.

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

The whole arrangement is so craftily put together. With Peter and Janice here, you've got a winner.

Magnificently done!


That is greatly appreciated!

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.

Great revival work.

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!

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.

Thanks for the fine review! The crash cymbal is on a separate track so that likely makes it more noticeable ... perhaps too much so smile
And, yeah, these 100 year old tunes are a lot of fun to work with.
Much appreciated!

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.
