@Trax, Don S. & Chris: Thank you for taking a listen to the new version and taking the time again to write a comment on it. Much appreciated. Trax: I can hear what you mean by a more processed sound on the new version. I hope I get away with it tho, since the jury doesn't have access to the first version and therefor has no material to compare with.

@ RickeG: Good suggestion on the crowd. I don't know that Garth Brooks song (come to think of it: I only know "achy breaky heart" ), but I have done some experimenting with the effect you mention. I had my VoiceLive 2 "sing along" in the chorus, using a setting that simulates a crowd of people. My skills aren't that good yet, so I couldn't get it to sound right. So I have abandoned that idea for this song.

@John: Thank you for your kind words! April 24 will be the day that the winner will be announced. Of-course I will post the result.
