In The Evening Our first J&B tune in quite a while is different in style and length - hey it’s less than three minutes! 🤪 Every evening just before bedtime Janice takes a short walk to enjoy the night birds, sky, tree frogs, fire flies and more. Recently while we were mountain biking the words to this tune sorta popped into Bud’s ole head. Peter worked closely with us on the production and played some fun and different parts. We were surprised and very pleased that it was accepted for a popular Spotify user playlist. As always we much appreciate your time to listen and hopefully comment. Many thanks to PeterF and PG Music. Janice: vocals, chords, melody, arrangement and mix Peter: guitar solos/fills, sitar, horns, arrangement and mix Bud: lyrics, arrangement, mix and mastering.

Merritt, B. Merritt & P. Fulham V1 some days ole sol can be too bright that’s when I look forward to night I want to be awake to gaze at the moon there’s no need for me to seek high noon Chorus I always come alive in the evening listening to the night birds singing surrounded by the glow of fireflies I no longer think of blue skies Turnaround (4 bars) V2 when the full moon is shining bright that’s when my spirit takes flight walking through a field of silver dew with every step my soul renews Chorus Solo Bridge when I see the sun rise I’ll bid the night adieu but my moonlit dreams will always come shining through Chorus Outro

Janice & Bud,
Hands down my new favorite from you guys!
The lyrics, melody, production and OUTSTANDING vocal by Janice makes this song a complete knockout.
Love Peter's laid back guitar and Bud's full warm mix.
"when the full moon is shining bright
that’s when my spirit takes flight
walking through a field of silver dew
with every step my soul renews"
Yeah, I absolutely love this...

HI, Janice and Bud. Pleasant '70s pop sound. Easy listening! As usual, Janice's vocal is excellent, as it the harmony. The horns were a treat, and the sitar with the descending riff had me laughing!  some days ole sol can be too bright...My favorite trivia question that people know the answer to, but often forget: "What's the name of our sun?" The "bonus" trivia question is, of course, "What's he name of Earth's moon?"

Really nice song here.
It has kind of a warm, sunny '60s radio hit feel to me, back in the days when you may have had a group like the Stone Poneys who gave a lot of attention to the parts that they used in the instrumentation and the variety of sounds in the mix, you know, the good old days. With ladies you could sing and folks who could play!!!
🙂
It has that kind of warm and happy, thoughtfully produced type of sound to me.
Good job!

Perfect! Glad you liked those lines. BTW Janice took the photo of the trees and moon that I later added her to. The vocals were all one take with no editing. And Peter recorded his bits quickly. Meaning it all came together in short order other than Bud’s mixing. 😀 Thanks for all you wrote! J&B

Every song you guys have on Spotify is on my Favorites Playlist. Man, I really love this one. Heard it a bunmch and always feel it's too short. Yet it is so long on goodness. Love the stuff Peter added, and Janice is... well, my all-time favorite. Bud, you are the mixing and mastering master for sure. Everything sits so perfectly. Man, these lyrics are quite special. They are a stroll, as is the melody --the whole thing invites an evening stroll.

Another winner from the Big Three!
As usual great vocal, harmonies, guitar, and mix.
This brought me back to the 1960's so thanx for the memories.
Janice, Bud, and Peter, I loved this one!

Hi Janice, Bud and Peter. This is fantastic listening. I loved the journey. The image below is a really good representation of what I was looking like and what I was feeling as I listened. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=27864&filename=happy listener small.jpg) The melody, the harmony, Janice's exquisite vocals (lead and harmony), the superb lyrics and Peter's awesome guitar work sat so very comfortably on my psyche. What a great chorus! I always come alive in the evening
listening to the night birds singing
surrounded by the glow of fireflies
I no longer think of blue skies
These lines are highly visual and I felt like I could almost reach out and touch the fireflies. Then when verse 2 came along... when the full moon is shining bright
that’s when my spirit takes flight
walking through a field of silver dew
with every step my soul renews
...I felt like I was the character in the song. From start to finish, I was with you all, all the way, and fully involved in the unfolding story. Terrific everything! --Noel

Hey team!
Clever, catchy tune. Fantastic write both musically and lyrically. Pleasure to listen to. Different in a very good way. Super vocals. Arranged and played professionally. You shouldn't be surprised it's made to the spotify playlist - it's good. Mix is pro.
Thank you for sharing.
Misha.
