See See Rider The US has the strictest copyright laws in the known universe  but the law was changed two years ago. Now every January 1 (Public Domain Day!) works that are 75 years old become PD. So, for 2020, songs published in 1924 are no longer copyrighted, are in the PD and artists own 100% of the rights to their arrangement. BTW, if you are interested in this year's PD entries this article lists them along with other info: 2020 PD Info To celebrate PD Day and the New Year we chose one of the new PD songs, Ma Rainey’s “See See Rider,” for an early 60’s rock arrangement. It’s been done in many styles…big band, blues, rock, R&B and more. Laverne Baker, The Animals and Mitch Ryder had hits with it. We asked Peter if he’d like to join in on guitar and, catching us completely by pleasant surprise, he sent three styles including this Chuck Berry like version. The other two were great but the Chuck track seemed to nail that early 60’s garage band feel we were aiming for (and we are big CB fans). So here’s something a bit different from our bluesy based stuff and we hope you like it. Thanks to BiaB for making this bit of fun possible! Your time to both listen and comment is always appreciated. © 2020 Public Domain B. Merritt / J. Merritt / P.

Hi there J&B plus Peter,
Well, you just can't beat a good bit of Rock&Roll.
Everything kicking and in gear with Janice's signature vocal setting the thing alight.
Great bit of guitar from Peter - that R&R style is in danger of dying out, because so few
people can play it and even less are teaching it. Good to hear it done so well.
Mix sounds good, Bud, but still struggling a bit with my hearing - I've been told it can
take up to six months to get completely right.
Certainly livened up my afternoon.
Cheers, ROG.

I suspected you guys might jump on this one when I saw it was due to be released to the public domain Nice take on it, I like the rock and roll approach! I've heard many versions over the years, but mostly as a blues both slow and uptempo. Man, Janice sounds great! And Peter totally nails those Chuck Berry type licks. Excellent job on the mix, Bud, sounds great through both the 'phones and the KRK's. Big smile on my face here, well done you three!

Cheers, ROG. Hey ROG, thanks for the kind remarks...and coming from a rock guy they mean even more to us. Super cool you liked Peter’s guitar. It was perfect for the song we think. Glad you are back around, love your new song and happy new year! J&B

Love a bit of a chuckle in the morning.
This is fab.
A VERY heavy boogie version of this song was big in Australia in the early 70s.
Well done everyone.
Cheers

Yep we discussed this one back in the fall I’ve been encouraging Janice to belt one out and I thought she pulled it off really well with only a couple of takes. And a big thanks for the comments on the mix. Our first all Waves production! Peter did nail those licks! J&B

Janice, Bud, and Peter,
Just freakin' killer. Love the Berry vibe--such a sweet, rocking guitar solo. Can't help but tap the foot and rock the head on this one. Very cool!
Best regards,
Deej

For me it is like a new song. I don't think I know the original or maybe I just don't recognize it.
Anyway it is a fabulous song you have recorded here, very true to the Chuck Berry style which I listened a lot to when I was a child... that is how I learned about Rock'n Roll.
The vocal is wonderful, the guitar work great... and the mix is outstanding. Just a perfect track, like so many times before from you guys!
Will

Great version, can't go wrong with pipes like that and pro production to boot. I noticed Nessun Dorma is on the list of 2020 PD songs, any chance we'll be hearing a version of that? ; )

Hi Janice and Bud,
A very nice performed rock and roller, that's for sure!
You gave the song a lot of sparks, Janice.
Listened it several times, while tapping my feet 'though it was still around 10 o'clock.
Must be something wrong with me, I'm afraid.
I enjoyed it,
Hans
