Had to go peak at your other tunes. Very Dire Straits...as I listen to Coastal Highway. I really like how expressive your voice is with the sing/talk portions. Makes a tune very relatable and conversational. Nice harmonica too. And now Pretty Girl (I was curious about your wife). It's a good, bouncy tune. Was it the on bus one that someone mentioned Ringo (I was listening to so many songs yesterday I might be mixing myself up!)? I'm hearing that here.

Regarding the mic challenge, I'll leave that for someone else. My ear is not very technical. I'm more into mood, melody and lyric.
