Hi, David. Ha! Your sig line made me laugh! If only it were a control knob, eh?

Thanks for the advice. I suspect the reason my song doesn't sound right is the chords. Been away from the computer a lot the past couple days, so tomorrow I'll get back into the song and see what happens when I change it up like that.

Thanks again!
