Uh-oh, Deej ... you've hit on my weak spot here, haha ... mixing. BUT: I will indeed have a look at this again - after I take a small break, I've worked for hours on this song and if I hear that chorus again in the next couple of hours or so, I will throw the computer out of the window (figuratively speaking, of course - if nothing else, it's too heavy to carry to said window). But, to be serious, yes - I see your point ... I was agonising on that sax solo, too ... to see if I'd let it continue or not. In the end, I did and just amplified the vocals a tad more than usual where it runs - but I agree, it can definitely do with one more look at it. The drums, those should be easy to up a bit, especially on the stops, right?

It's time for a quick afternoon nap here, but - after that - I will go back to the mental as well as physical "lab", so to speak, and see what I can concoct, haha. THANK YOU for such a clear, detailed comment - stay well!!!
