Peggy-O (New/"Almost Final?) Mix - thanks for feedback

Folks,
Sincere thanks for the feedback in previous Peggy-O thread.  It is very generous of you to listen and provide inputs on my first attempt at recording/mixing.  I took to heart the suggestions and I'm hoping it's now close to final.  I did the following:
 
Tamed the dobro by reducing volume, also panning slightly more R to separate from vocals.
Brought up vocals.
Panned percussion slightly more L to separate.
Added a smidge of high end to vocals per Rimshot's advice.
 
Have linked in the new mix here (Peggy-O 15).  I did keep the old mix on page for reference as well.

Most challenging for me has been finding the sweet spot on the Dobro.  I hope I'm there.  I wanted to keep a sparse, acoustic feel to the mix.
 
Any further inputs very much appreciated/welcome. 
 
Thanks,

    How sweet it is. The changes you've made really paid off. This made me think of The Band at times. Cool lyrics and good performances all around. Well done.

    All the best,

    Nice mellow tune but not too mellow.  It reminds me a lot of the music we did with our acoustic quartet.   I assume you wrote this?  I would have copped it for our performances if I'd heard it.  Very nice tune and arrangement.  Oh, the dobro sounded fantastic on this end.

    Hey Wicker nice version and almost as good as the original Greaful Dead version which I note you haven't credited.

    I guess you didn't write it.  Imagine that, I haven't heard a Dead song.  LOL!  It was well done, though.
