Thank you and glad the fiddle worked for you!

Excellent, as usual. The snare could do with some trimming.... Just my 2 cents. Maybe that's where you wanted it, and if so, that's obviously part of the plan. But it jumps out and overwhelms other musicality in my view. Possibly you did that just to see who was listening

Nah, we did it because we wanted to get as close as possible to Mellencamp’s song “Check It Out.” That was our reference for mastering. Kenny Aronoff is noted for that snare sound. So for better or worse, FWIW, etc., we remain good with it. Glad you liked it otherwise 😀 and thanks for listening!
