Bob, DC Ron, Alan, Charlie, James, Shigeki, Peter, Floyd, B.D. and Mario:

Thanks so much to all of you for the listens and feedback. Ray helped give this tune such an inspired sound . . . it was exciting as a result to bring it to fruition. And I'm glad it seemed to work for you all! Some additional thoughts on the specific comments:

Alan: Yes, you are exactly right. At some point I did something wonky to the bass track and had to import the original track ray sent me back into the mix. I think I never quite adjusted the bass to compensate thereafter . . . which is particularly annoying given how good ray's bass and bass runs are throughout the track. I went back in, raised it a few decibels, and re-posted. Hopefully that helps. Thanks so much for catching this!!

James: I've been told I remind folks of certain singers here and there along the way. But Freddy Mercury is a first, LOL!! I'm not sure I hear that, but I'll take the compliment and run with it!! Thanks so much!!

Lastly, ray: You wrote, " . . . I simply played about a bit."? Well, umm, if you say so . . . but your "playing about a bit" helped take this to a level I could never have reached. I can't thank you enough!
