And to top it off...might be my favorite Peter guitar work - also has "commercial appeal".

This should be the first single from the album.

Excellent listen.

And than Janice who I've admired like no other ever since I heard her for the first time... that fits like a satin glove.

No doubt that this is an ace collab, hats off!

Stay well and take care,

As others have said - everything comes together nicely here.

Time to find a name for the group and release some 45s! wink

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

The melody & phrasing combined with THAT voice and THOSE harmonies are fanmazing.
Combined with an excellent narrative this gumbo is EXCELLENT.
My ears must be in freak mode tonight becasue, unusually for J & B, I heard some sibilance in the vocal...the only part that I'd suggest addressing is at 2.21.
Loved it.


Thanks Ray always appreciate your comments and suggestions.

Hi All ...

WOW! What a great song in all respects! Sounds better than about 100% of what I'm hearing on the airwaves these days. Noy gonna parse it out except to specifically mention the key modulation ... loved it!

Everyone did their part as good as could be done. very commercial and true ear candy!

Best to all of you. Take care and be safe. Happy Thanksgiving ...

Hi Peter + J&B,

Simply beautiful.

Heartfelt lyrics with a wonderful heartfelt delivery by Janice.
Loved the harmony, Janice - perfect sync too, which I know takes a lot of work.

Super tasteful guitar work Peter and some professional engineering Bud.

Loved it.
