Sundance, 3rds and Russ.......Thanks for the input, there seems to be a general conssensus with piano and vocal doing battle in places, and the guitar/vocal kinda having the same issue.

I could drop the piano entirely, but this song was written in one of those old Pentecostal churches that you mentioned russ and I can see the old piano player just banging their heart out trying to keep in the mix of the bass, drums and guitar, hehe. I guess he's doing a pretty good job this time. I'd like to leave the piano to at least some degree just to keep the old time feeling.

My wife said the whole song was too choppy, I think she is referring to the lead guitar licks and the drum track, have to look at that as well.

thanks for the listen and the input guys
