This seems quite good in general. Only minor complaint (and note that I'm
just listening on my crappy computer speakers) is there are parts that feel
like they were mixed from the drummer's throne. That is the drums feel "out
front" in the mix instead of behind the singer and guitarist, and the drums
nearest the drummer (e.g. snare) also feel closer to the listener. There
are also some varying levels in the drums, especially between the acoustic
drum sounds and the electronic ones, so they feel like they are in a
different space, but that may be intentional.

Again, this seems good in general. I'd definitely be tempted to flesh out
the arrangement, though. Maybe leave it sparse through the end of the first
chorus, then hit things over the head with a full band after that, and
possibly bring it back down for the final section. Beyond that, the only
minor niggle was it felt to me like the tambourine playing was a bit random
at times in terms of when it was and wasn't playing rhythmically.

Nice stuff overall.

I'm surprised you did not say anything about my tamborine timing???? I have
been working on it all night tonight. I got it much closer that the on like
version, have to upload it tomorrow. Tamborine sure is hard to play. It's
even harder to fix when it's out!! Thanks for listening again.

Rick, Thanks for listening. The percussion levels and EQ/Reverb vary more
than I would like for then to. I hope to have some contrast but just not
quite that much.
>a bit random at times
That's about the nicest way anyone has ever said to me that my timing sucks
(in a bad sucking way). To me the timing was really bad in several places.
That tamborine thing is about to drive me nuts. Replaying / cuting /
splicing / dicing. I need a handy dandy chopper in a hopper to finish this
thing <g>. Should have recorded to a click track.
