Thank you so much! Glad you liked this one. We have a ton of new music on our other channel @nikandjoemusic Lots more where this came from :)

Thank you so much! Appreciate the kind words :)

I will accept that as the highest of praise!! haha, seriously thank you for stopping by :)

Not sure what you mean buddy! Were groovin it, movin our hips to and fro!! haha. Groove is in the heart btw.

This was at a private house a little bit south of the gorge. It was so windy I dont know how they stand it there. It was non stop!

Glad to hear it! Thanks for letting us know :)

Thank you very much! We also have a channel with a ton of music @nikandjoemusic if you are looking for more. :) th-cam.com/users/nikandjoemusic?app=desktop

Thanks for listening, appreciate you reaching out! :)

Yeah sorry buddy. Im a musician first camera man second. I wish the video was more stable but I didnt notice until the next day or I wouldve fixed it. This was during covid times and getting everyone together was a real tough job. We couldnt just go back the next day and re do it unfortunately, we had alot of strict covid rules unfortunately. You live and you learn and Im glad I at least got something from that jam session.

@@lovethenines fair enough, hope Dua Lipa sees this one day. Take care 👍

Thank you! Ill probably redo this one at some point now that things are more back to normal. Ill keep the camera away from the sub woofer next time haha!

Me too! Yeah we dont use a keyboard player never have. We play on alot of small stages and alot of times keys takes up as much space as a drummer. Were all for bands using the instrumentation that is best for them. Its one less person to pay and worry if they are going to show up to the gig lol. Alot of bands go without keyboard players these days.

@@lovethenines Essentially playing with a back track.

@@Uninspirational Yes for my business I choose not to use a keyboard player. Give the other players more money and not have to make room for them. The crowds we play for just want to dance and have a good time. They dont mind.

Thanks! Yeah this is a fun one to play! It definitely gets the dancefloor going :)

Yes we do not use a keyboard player. We use some backing tracks, helps with a click track and its one less person we have to get to the gig!! haha! But mostly keyboard players take up a lot of space too!

For sure. I definitely understand. This is a very deep song, thanks for listening :)

Very cool! This is such a good song. I wish more people knew it. She had some really good songs back in the day :)

Thank you! Yeah this is one hell of a song! We just played it last Saturday as the last dance of the night. The crowd went crazy! It was so much fun :)

:)

Very cool, many people dont even know this song. Its nice to see someone out there who remembers it :)

Ahh, thank you!! We cant wait to get down to Phoenix very soon to see everyone. Joe. :)

Thank you! Hope it got you and Mom up dancing 💃

Yes thank you! Glad you liked the music and we hope to see everyone in Phoenix soon!

Ahh thank you, we miss both of you! Hope to see all of you at a public event one day :)

Thank you so much!! Appreciate you listening to our music :)

Most of it is live and real. There are a few instruments in backing tracks that we use to fill stuff out a little bit. :)

Yeah I have always used backing tracks. It started when I didnt want to devote stage space to a keys player. They take up as much room as a drummer. I also wanted to pay everyone the max I could and not having horns or keys allowed me to do that making my players happy. I have done thousands of weddings, thats what we specialize in. I will always use tracks, the music is alot more consistent night in and night out.

@@lovethenines sounds good. 1:07 I didn’t see you playing the gtr riff in the song either. Sure you know what you’re doing, I like the flexibility of changing songs on the fly and keeping the beat going for announcements etc between songs and not having to worry the track matches up. Down side is dealing with more idiots in the band though. No silver bullet.

I also miss being able to change songs on the fly. If you are feeling a guitar solo you can cue the band to give you some extra time. Also you can interact with the crowd easier if you are not using a click. I agree strongly on that part. I can still switch songs on the fly easily. But the pros of using a click with backing tracks far exceed the cons for me. Removing a human or two from the mix is worth its weight in gold. We are a for profit situation, we only play music to make money and having less mouths to feed is a must. Managing humans can be rewarding but can also be a nightmare. I can play the guitar a little bit. Im not Eric Johnson but I can do the job and most importantly I get the money haha! Seriously though, I support myself only playing music. Proud of that. I appreciate you taking the time to connect and comment on our music! :)

Whats wrong with the lyrics? This song is pretty loose and most people at a private party dont even know the words. Heck I dont even know the words and Ive been playing this song all my life lol.

@@lovethenines The lyric is "A chick walks by you wish you could sex her" and the dude has to self-censor himself from saying the word "sex", for one example. If you're going remake the song, don't censor yourself!

@@lovethenines The lyric is "A chick walks by you wish you could sex her.." Don't be afraid of the word "sex". If you're going to remake the song, go all the way & sing it right!

Ahh. I get it. Yes you are correct. The singer in this situation worked for me. I asked him specifically to keep the songs PG. We play a ton of family events so as a rule we keep everything pretty clean. I also wouldnt post a song with bad language on this site either as this band is "for hire" and our main goal is to make money. Although if someone looked hard they may find a swear word in a song or two here lol. But It could turn a client off to hear cussing etc. I like to turn clients on :) That way I can make that money. Yeah thats probably the bigger discussion... Do you make music and videos for yourself and do whatever you like? Or do you make videos for a client and keep it clean? Ill always keep it clean so I have a better chance of getting the gig :)

@@lovethenines When you name check "Poindexter" in a song, the only thing you can rhyme it with is "sex her". Your clients will be offended by that? If you don't say it, the song just sounds weird, like the singer didn't practice enough. Or......maybe you can rhyme "Poindexter" with "Hester", as in Hester Prynne. Maybe your crowds think she got what she deserved.

I know right! I think Nik and I mustve said that to each other about 100 times while learning this one. This was the first time playing it live with all the kids in the same room. Came out pretty good!

Thanks so much! We appreciate you checking us out and leaving us feedback! Its great to hear :)

Thank you so much! We appreciate you leaving us feedback :)

Thanks you so much! We appreciate the feedback. This is such a fun song to play, its going to really get the dance floor going :)

Thank you so much! Really appreciate the kind words. Yes I do also love this song, not many have heard it these days. Its good to bring it back and remind everyone how good it was :)

Yeah that would work out fine. I think sometimes we even do it that way. This is one that we all play slightly different from time to time since we've played it so many times :)

Thank you so much for stopping by! We really appreciate you checking us out and leaving a comment :) I have another channel that I post more often at @nikandjoemusic Most of my new music gets posted there!

Great! Thank you, we appreciate it :)

Thank you! We appreciate the kind words! Also we have another channel with alot more music located @nikandjoemusic Definitely stop by there if you have a chance :)

Thank you so much! We cant wait to see you and Kimmi soon!

Thank you so much! We appreciate you stopping by and checking us out :)

Ahh thank you! This is such a cool song, how could we not do this one :)

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking us out! We really appreciate it :)

We're so sorry to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during a very difficult time. Im so happy to hear that music has picked you up a little, there is really no better compliment that you can give to us. We're so glad we could provide you some happy medicine during these very difficult times.

@@lovethenines thank you. You're helping me heal.

If you like acoustic music I have another channel that we update way more often. We also livestream quite often. Not sure if youve been to our other channel. www.youtube.com/@NikandJoemusic Check it out and hopefully theres music there that helps you get through this time.

Thank you so much! We really appreciate you checking us out and leaving a comment :)

Thank you so much!! Appreciate the kind words :)

Yes, thank you for stopping by! Appreciate it :)

Haha thanks! Of course we'd never forget about our buddy!

Thank you so much, appreciate the very kind words 😀

Thank you! 😊. We appreciate you checking us out!

I use backing tracks in this band. In my other band we do acoustic music and we use less tracks. www.youtube.com/@NikandJoemusic

@@lovethenines oh. Sounds good. I play with keyboards which I like but every time you add another person, the band will drama always increases exponentially. Probably a good idea.

Yeah I love live keys but my biggest issue is they take up as much space as the drummer. I have played some super small stages where keys would have never fit. Plus having to haul them around in the van would be too much for what its worth. Plus one less guy to pay and worry if he's going to show up for the gig lol! Yeah Im fine without keys :)

@@lovethenines I agree on one less guy and less band drama but we just make everybody carry their own instruments and meet up at the venue. No vans for us

Yeah drama is not a huge issue for my band. My wife and I are the only members, the other players are contractors and great friends. So that makes the drama factor a little less thankfully. But yes Ive been in bands all my life... There was a shit load of drama when I was young. It was a pretty hostile workplace haha!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the feedback and kind words :)

@@lovethenines the whole band sounds great actually. Good vocals always make the band

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. You check out the other channel? I post way more often to that channel. So new music all the time over there :)

@@lovethenines I watched most of your videos last night. Not my kind of music but you guys sound good

Holy smokes! Thats alot of videos! I really appreciate it. Thank you for giving us a chance, I cant say how much I appreciate that. For you to not really like the music but still give us a chance is very kind. Thank you and happy holidays :)

Wow, that is some exceptionally high praise!! We thank you so much for checking out our music!

Thank you very much!! Nik and I have a video coming soon for you and Kimmi! Stay tuned :)

@@lovethenines We're looking forward to it!

Were back in town, time to get back to work. Hope you two had a great holiday!!

Yes you are right. The original song was sung by a male singer. So saying woman was the way they did it and it made sense. This song and version is being sung by a female singer so changing the words a little made a bit more sense for how we do it :)

@@lovethenines never thought of that ...... Still a superb song and very well sang by yourself indeed ....

Yes definitely a great song! It get people dancing!

Thank you so much! Appreciate the super kind words :)

Wow, thank you so much :) That is very kind to say!
