Janice, Bud & Peter,
Hard to keep still to this backwoodsy feel-good toe-tapper.
Fantastic guitar playing by Peter and Janice`s vocal captures the sly fun of the lyrics.
Great work!
Robert

Excellent tune Janice, Bud and Peter. Loved the story on the shaker. Excellent vocal and loved the instrument choices. I swear I could see you sitting on the porch playing this song. Peters guitar work was perfect. Loved that slide. Really nice add to the song. The bass player got my toe tappin as well :-)..
Excellent production, mix and master. Well done

Great tune. Well written with a good hook and so well performed in all aspects by all participants. I had a lot of fun listening to this. I loved the fact that you used Bud's mothers gourd for the shaker! Thank you Brad and we appreciate you mentioning the gourd! J&B

This what happens when some of the forums best musicians, the Band-Not-in-a-Box, and the best accompaniment software, the Band-in-a-Box, join forces! The result an exceptionally well produced song.
As usual everything is spot on.
Bud should play more often.
Loved it. Thanks Mario. You are very generous with your supportive comments. Appreciate the bass mention. Arthritis keeps it very simple! J&B

What a fun song!
Love the vocal of course, and especially the harmonies.
Peter's playing is top notch as per usual, and fun hearing you in the mix too, Bud, solid job on the bass!
Wasn't expecting the modulation, but it worked a treat.
Excellent track, very much enjoyed. Thank you David for you continued support of our endeavors. The mod was Janice’s notion and I (Bud) thank you for the bass comment. J&B

Ain't nothing better than a Janice, Bud & Peter song to start your day. Such a happy wakeup song. A wonderful vocal with just the perfect touch of harmony so well done by such a talented percussionist. The driving bass in the experienced hands of the best guy for the job. Then you bring in the best musicians like Peter to present such a delightful song in such a masterful mix. Thanks for all that!!! Thank you Marty. This was an all around fun project and your comments make us feel we met our goals of a happy song. And thank you for noting the vocals, percussion, guitar and bass - much appreciated! J&B

This is SO good. Where do I start?
The writing. It's so well written, it could and should be right there with the classics of this genre.
The singing. Janice can sing anything, we all know that by now. But how does her voice improve with every new song? I wish I knew. There's a downward glissando on there that she does (I'm listening again to find where it is, in the song) ... wow.
EDIT: found the slide. At around 1:40, on the "just be good and stay a while". Ah :-)
The production, the mixing, Bud and Peter's contributions: seamless. They let Janice's voice shine, one doesn't even notice that they're there, but, without them, it of course wouldn't work.
Oh, and Janice's harmonies. Legendary, by now :-) - and so they should be.
Great job, really great job. For me, the writing stands out, but it's like saying which star (out of a constellation) shines brightest. It's all amazing, that's my point - even if, for me, the writing is that something extra. Congrats! Man, those are really nice comments! The kind that help make it all worth while. Thank you very much. And special thanks for commenting on Janice’s slippin’ and slidin’ notes around. I (Bud) never know what’s gonna happen until I turn the mic on  J&B

Clever, compact lyric. Melody is super engaging. Peter's guitar is a mighty big plus!!! Impeccable vocals. Percussionist is out of her gourd!  Percussionist is out of her gourd! Thanks ... glad you enjoyed it! J&B Great job from start to finish. You guys are a good fit and seem to influence each other in a really good way. Good song, performance, arrangement and production.
Charlie Thank you Charlie. Janice and Bud have been a wonderful fit for 42 years and working with Peter has been a ton of fun! J&B

Yeah, I'm way late for this. Fun lyric! Bass moves it along, nice balance between the instruments - slide is great, harmonica only shows up enough to add color but not overstay its welcome. Love the slowdown at 2:00. And Janice brings her usual class and precision of the gig.

I liked the extended intro and of course, listening to Janice sing is a great treat. Good guitar work and nice thumping bass that anchored things well.
Your usual excellent work!
