Thanks much for all the kind comments guys.

Noel - Thanks for the really generous encouragement!

Janice and Bud - Thanks!. Yeah this is a popular tune and is most hymnals that I'm aware of. Interestingly, the tune was written long before the words. In the pre-copyright era folks used to write new words to existing tunes and vice versa. Amazing Grace is an example. A huge percentage of hymns were written this way. Now you'd be sued to kingdom come if you wrote new words to a Brad Paisley tune etc.!

Anyway, I digress, thanks much!

Clifton - Thanks much!

Herb - Thanks for checking the tune out. Really appreciated. It IS one of the great hymns! Peace!

Scott - Thanks much!

Greg - Thanks for mixing critique. I agree with you about the vocal. I need to do something to smooth out the high end. The panning is probably the piano. I have it panned slightly against the quitar, but the piano is louder. I'll see about putting the piano in the center, or closer to center. Thanks much!

David - Thanks for listening. I appreciate the mixing feedback. On my studio monitors the vocals sound 'in the pocket' to me but on my 2" computer speakers, they sound too loud. I really think I've got to do something with the vocal eq. Thanks for the valuable feedback!

Thanks so much guys!
