I had my speakers turned up pretty loud (from a previous listen). That typically causes some unpleasantness (in typical mixes) - ear-wincing. NOT the case with this. It sounds Great! loud...

Those drums POP! Killer Kick sound (any processing that you can share on that???)
Nice warm sounding piano.
Your guitar is heavenly! LOVE that tone!!

KILLER vocals and harmonies.

Excellent write. Good message.

I've said this many times before - reminds me of the very best of Rundgren.
Could have been a cut off Something/Anything (easily).

One of your best.

Floyd, I must admit that for a moment the thought crossed my mind to print and frame your comments and hang on the studio wall. Your words are such an encouragement and I truly appreciate them!
I can't take a lot of credit for the drum sound. I pretty much just followed the settings used in the producer secrets video for drum stems on the PG Music site. Being the first time using them I didn't want to vary from the template the narrator gave. The only exception to his settings was that I couldn't get the 10 band graphic equalizer to load for some reason. It would flash on the screen for a second and dissappear. So I used the 5 band instead. T
