Hi Floyd ...

When Floyd Jane speaks, we're all ears! First thanks for the real nice comments on the song. As we told Tom, we've never considered this one of our better songs. So nice to know many of the folks here disagree!

And yes, after visiting You Tube and listening to "Rocket Man", "Crocodile Rock" and "Benny And The Jets", we fully agree with you about the vocal being to forward in the mix. As was brought to our attention, by you I think, on the Euro-Tech song we posted a couple of days ago, I tend to mix everything too much like a Country or Jazz song where the vocals are the star if the song in most cases. But you are totally correct about Pop-Rock, Rock and the like ... the vocal needs to be embedded only very slightly louder than the loudest instrument. We listened to several other Rock tunes and found it to be true in all of them. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. It's an ever-changing, learning process to become proficient at mixing ... it's an art in and of itself.

Glad you enjoyed the lyric and performance otherwise. And thanks again for the sage advice! Best to ya ...
