Thanks Sonny. We've listened to Bessie Smith for decades off and on but had never heard this one until recently when I was looking around for an old Christmas blues to record. Last year we did another one called the Christmas Eve blues and it was a lot of fun also.

Hi Janice and Bud,

Everything about this sits perfectly. Bud's mix couldn't get any better. It was a pleasure to sit back, close my eyes and drift along on Janice's enchanting vocals... a wonderful journey.

Happy Christmas to you both!

There is also some nice gymnastics at 1:37. I just sit back and listen to a great mix ( the bass sounds especially good) and just keep going Whoa! Merry Christmas to the both of you! Tom


Tom, that's very nice of you to notice and comment on Janice's phrasing. She sings 'em like they feel. Thanks also for mentioning the mix and ALL the advice and counsel you've given me about mixing. It means a lot.
