Thank you Janne. You are very kind!

I'm late to the party, again.

As usual everything I wanted to say already has been said. So all I can add is when I see those three names on a song I know it will be a winner and this is definitely a winner for sure.

Loved it.

Janice, your singing is perfect. I love those slide-up notes and the relaxed easy feel of your performance.

Peter, when the ending came along and the arrangement time-travelled into the 21st century, you stole the limelight. Great playing!

Loved the journey.

All the best,
Noel


Thank you so much Noel!!

I've heard so much talk about "ear candy" that you when you hear something like, you realize a seven course meal when you get one. You know that meal that's SO good that your one serving wasn't enough, so you go back for seconds, then thirds. Yeah that.

Expected and delivered.

At this point, is this even hard for you three? Not joking.

Hi Peter and Janice,

That song is a successful cooperation between the both of you. Very nice indeed.
Those beautiful vocal(s) and guitar, but also the saloon piano were superb!
I wouldn't mind if that had stayed this way the whole song, so the playing of the rest of the band in the second part came as a surprise. Not a bad surprise though.

And Janice, I am also not surprised you don't care what people might say about you. These lines are written for you, so to say.
I enjoyed it,
Hans

The arrangement is stunning. Superb surprise at 3:45 or so.

Congratulations.


Thank you so much. I love these old public domain songs!

Thought You Didn't Do Covers Janice!!!


Music is an expression that is a universal language, Never criticize anybody to harshly. They need time to grow but when they do, they do. Always be kind in what you say and do because the man upstairs is watching.

I appreciate that! And, yes, Peter certainly announced his presence:)

Excellent take on classic! Stunning arrangement. Peter, amazing guitar playing, outro shines. Janice's vocals and harmony sounds very powerful and natural. Bud, Peter super mix. Enjoyed it! Hmm, I think I should steal that piano smile Thank you for sharing.

Misha.


I’m glad you liked the vocals and thanks for mentioning the harmony. Bud said that you will need Logic Pro’s Grand Steinway sound if you steal the piano smile
