She Passed By - Original...UPDATED PER YOUR FEEDBACK.

UPDATED 8/8  NOON.  Incorporated suggestions below.  Thank you!
 
I haven't been around for awhile.  I got back about a week ago from a 3 week trout fishing excursion to Montana.  Awesome weather, mountain country, and we caught a pile of nice trout.
 
On a not-so-good note, my tinnitus in my ears as made my right ear almost deaf for the past week.  I'm praying it will come back some, although the right ear has been weaker for some time.  This is scary as all music sounds slightly distorted to me now as my right ear hears everything as though it's coming out of a 1-inch speaker.
 
I've been working hard on my solo live act, which I expect to be ready for a night of gigging by the end of the year.  Because of my hearing I have several new tunes in progress that I've put on hold, hoping my hearing get's back to it's old regular bad self instead of this curse I'm dealing with now.
 
Consequently I really need help with the mix on this tune, especially the balance.  It was all but done before I went to Montana and I would like to put this one to bed.  I appreciate the use of your ears.  This right ear could really turn into a nightmare.

Hi daryl, nice song, very nice guitar tone please don't turn it down ; )  There is some noise before the first note .

Thanks guys.  The bass seems loud to me, but I agree with the guitar.  I agree with all you say because right now I can't hear ****.  My right ear has been weaker for some time, but this is over the top.  The worsening came on suddenly, so I hope it backs off suddenly.
 
Thanks, I will make some changes and repost.   This could kill me recording.... but I seem to be holding up on the solo live material.  Getting old sucks.   One of my long term employees (or was before I retired) has just been sent home with Hospice to die.  Just a reminder to enjoy and make the most of every day.

Daryl, Nice song with a nice sound. It seems to me that the drums lay back a bit in the mix and could also be panned a bit to the left side. The guitar sounds great, but could be brought done just a little bit and maybe panned to the right. Everything else seems to be blending nice and smooth. That guitar sound you got going sounds really good, I like it, has a nice smooth sound to it. Nice song and the vocals fit this piece very nicely. Good one for sure.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Hi Daryl,
Montana is a place I dream about checking out someday ....
 
I'm saddened to hear that you are having issues w your hearing ...
I hope you can work past the issues , find healing , wholeness , and find a blessing on the other end ........
 
You are one of the few people here that knows I had to relearn how to play the guitar after my bike accident 3 years ago 
I would do it all over again if I had to because I found something I didn't have & didn't know I needed ....
 
I liked your song ...very easy to listen to ..
can't be much help on the mix ..it's early am over here and I'm surrounded by my apt dwelling neighbors 
 
i enjoyed you vocal parts and harmonies ...your guitar has a wonderful tone 
overall your playing , singing and song presentation has been steadily climbing with every song posting and I must say watching you grow musically over the years has been a real treat to have witnessed .....

I incorporated most all of the suggestions above, thank you all.  Let me know if this sits a little better
 
Kenny, I too started over after a VERY long hiatus.
 
Frank, I played your previous CD to death, I'm sure this one will spend a long time in my car stereo!
 
Thank you all for the suggestions for my ear, which is very slightly better today, I hope it's a trend.
 
Daryl
