Thanks for the latest feedback, must be my high freq hearing loss, my wife said basically the same thing about the banjo. Sometmes I think it's a matter of ears and speakers and whatever system it's being played on. In my car, which is very bass heavy, can hardly hear the banjo. I haven't quite figured out how to mix so that it plays equally well on every type of system, from automobiles and ipod ear buds to home theatre systems, if it can even be done.

My commercial CDs sound totaly different in my monitors than they do in the car, so I use them for a reference point and try to emulate the difference.

I have noticed that a couple of banjo players that have heard it, love it, and the guitar guys think there's too much banjo, heheheh. Kinda like cowbell I guess, although can you really ever have enough cowbell?

Thanks again for the feedback

Dang....This is addicting.
