Hi Bjorn. Thanks for listening and commenting. In answer - ya, it does take a while to recover.There is not only dealing with clean up but one must deal with insurance companies and try and find some outfit that is available to assist in damages. They usually are smothered by demands for help after the two that hit the Tampa Bay area. We love it here -- so, it is just something else to put up with. Hi Makke. Thanks very much for the kind comments and for listening!

DeeringAmps --- Hi tom! Thanks always for taking the time to listen, respond, and for your suggestions. One of my favourite Blues guys (Jimmy Reed) used to do that trick (Starting the chorus on the 4th). I always kinda liked that. Thanks again! Hi daryl1968. Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. I very much appreciate it! Hi thegaltieribrothers. Thanks for listening and for commenting. Much appreciated!Hey Hey PhonoBrainer Thanks much for listening, commenting and for the advice on keeping the guitars dry. Every time we get warning of an impending hurricane we get our supplies of non-perishable food, water and batteries, then I make sure our power stations are fully charged and last but not least, I move my guitars to a place where I'm pretty sure that they won't get wet or damaged. I don't consider myself a competent musician but music sure is terrific therapy. If I am feeling down or more likely grouchy -- I get my guitars out and fool around for an hour or so and that leads to a calm and collected Freddy J. Thanks again!!

How in the world do you so consistently come up with such creative and perfect productions? Excellent work Nigel!!

Great sounding guitar and playing. The vocals sound good so you must have brought them up a bit. I enjoyed the listen!

Having been to New Orleans more than a couple of times, I must say you sure did an excellent job of capturing the N O style and feeling. I am always in awe of piano players. All those black and white keys. How do you all do it? Great job!

What a very nice upbeat happy sounding piece! Being a guitar fancier I particularly liked the use of the guitars. Some day I am going to have to graduate from drum loops and clips and move on to tools like Addictive Drums. Well done indeed!

What a nice and pleasant song. Great playing on the acoustic guitars. The slide was particularly nice. Well done and I enjoyed listening to it!

Great cover and well done. I don't know about the volume of the vocals but you did a great job in presenting the lyrics. Your performance on instruments was pretty doggone good also. Really nice work and at the risk of repeating myself well done!

Hi Treesha. It does take a bit of time to clean up from one hurricane and even more time from two. Thanks for your kind comments and I'm glad that you liked the song. I would never be mean to my guitars -- after all they do most of the work 😀.

Hi Bapu. Thanks very much for taking the time to listen and for your kind comments. I just got done listening to your recent post. Most impressive indeed!

Hey Nigel. Thanks for listening and your kind comments. I have been trying to catch up with listening to your posts on this forum and as always they are most impressive!

Hi Amberwolf. Thanks for your comments. It does take a while to recover from events such as you described and hurricanes. It has been a year since we experienced the two hurricanes in a row and my sister's condo complex is still working on some repairs. I appreciate your insight on the timing. I do have a problem with timing that seems incurable. Whenever I do Bluesy or Bluesabilly stuff I try and inject that loose style of the early electric blues guys (e.g., Jimmy Reed, Sonny Boy Willimson II, Lazy Lester, etc.). They can pull it off but unfortunately I can't seem to do it. Oh well, maybe if I keep trying I'll finally get it? Thanks again.

You all have outdone yourself. The story line to this song is great and the music complements it very well. of course the performances ,mix, vocals, etc. are very well done. Excellent work guys!!

Excellent composition and as usual your playing is excellent. I enjoyed the listen.

Very entertaining and creative indeed!! Lyrics, vocals, music and video all complement each other very well. Great work!

Not a big fan of Michael Jackson but I really like this version of the song. The reggae touch was brilliant. Of course (as always) the mix, performances, instrumentation, vocals, etc. were very well done! The narration at the end was also a nice touch. Terrific work by all!!

To use a hackneyed metaphor, life is a bit like the stock market there are highs and lows and then the rest of the time. Thanks for sharing the force. I need a bit of a jump start. Thanks very much for commenting -- I appreciate it. BTW - l love the recent songs that you have posted (eg. 6 and four, etc.)

What a delightful song. Composition, performances, arrangement, lyrics, etc. were excellent. Well done!!!

Hi Nigel. As always, this is excellent on all fronts (performances, lyrics , mix, etc.). The matching of the music and the visual is also excellent. Creatively, technically, performances, etc. are all outstanding! I hope your sales are doing well.

Absoflippinlutely outstanding. Some excellent acoustic work and arrangemen - but it all is excellent!

Not unimaginative at all. Another happy,entertaining and imaginative piece from you. I love the initial sound that carries the through the song - while the instrumentation, accents, etc. keep the song alive and interesting. Great stuff pal!!

This is a very soulful Jazz/Blues song. There is absolutely nothing to not like this song. The Performance, instrumentation, lyrics, performance mix are all excellent The vocals are outstanding! Well done!!!

What a captivating piece! This really has an edge to It and held my attention throughout. It has a very large cinematic sound and would make great music for a space or Si-Fi video/movie. Being totally incompetent with MIDI, synths, etc. I am always impressed by how you can create such interesting music. Oh yes --- the title! Is it a mathematical title or is there another source of its origin? 🙂

It has been a while since I have been on the forum. Things such as hurricanes, hurricane cleanup and repairs (for both my family and sisters abodes), replacement purchasing of a new car for my sister's drowned car. Further delays to non-participating in the forum included a brief flare-up of my reactive arthritis and my sister took a bad fall which required several weeks of hospitalization, rehabilitation, and home care. A lot has been posted since I was last on and I look forward to listening and commenting on as much of the new stuff as I can. I did get a bit of time to get together with Cakewalk and my guitars to come up with this song. It is a bit rough -- so I hope that you will provide crit.'s,, comments and suggestions Thanks as always. TOO COOL TO BE CRUEL https://www.soundclick.com/freddyj

My last post was a song about the loss of a love. This song is a continuation of this saga where the subject of this song finds real love and it's right next door. It is silly, Bluesy, and fun. Again I am trying to emulate a wee bit of the Jimmy Reed style. I hope that you like it. As always I would appreciate any comments, crit's and comments Thanks and I hope you enjoy. HELLO MR.
