Folks, I really appreciate your feedback and with the advice given..... I went back for a more detailed look at the song.
Hopefully, this (3rd) mix is a better representation of what I was going for.
Here's what I did.
Spiced up the intro and the outtro hits on the drums. Regarding the drums, I rolled off the high end to tame those cymbals. Hopefully, mission accomplished on this one.
I worked on the vocal a guitar EQ as well, adjusted a few levels, cleaned up a few off beat things..... I love volume envelopes.
And a few other minor tweeks here and there..... anyway.... for your listening pleasure.....

Note: I was gonna pull this down last night but since I didn't have the time to work on this until later this evening.... Saturday..... I left it in place but it's now the 3rd and hopefully final version.
Note2: We now have a Doctor in the house. My daughter finished her doctorate and graduated today.
Enjoy the song
