That makes me feel really good, Torrey, thank you. I *still* struggle with liking my lead vocals and I even know I've gotten a lot better. It's probably true with everyone here, I hear every little thing I think could sound better, while others just hear the music because they're not comparing it to what's in my head.

The harmonies ... if you've been following my stuff I'm big on that, always have been. Such a huge fan of The Beach Boys, Beatles, Crosby, Stills, & Nash, Mamas & Papas, the Byrds, the Hollies ... and the harmony has a lot to do with that. I also used them a lot before BIAB because I can barely play the guitar, much less other instruments, and so I filled a lot in with a lot of backup vocals and I think it's just kind of become my "style".
