First of all, excellent song and performances. Really like the style.
The mix sounds great except the vocal sounds detached from the rest of the track. Drop the vocal volume and maybe look at what reverb your using on the vocal and you have a hit

Awesome! Thanks Daryl!

Good tune. I really like the instrumentation - I wouldn't touch that.
 
I think the parts could be placed with a bit more definition - They seem a bit centered. That guitar answer to the vocal (fa-mi-re-do quarter notes, which also begin the song) might be panned a bit more to one side or the other to add interest.
 
For the vocal, I would really like to hear this tune done with a bit more "grit", maybe what an over-50 singer sounds like performing the last song of the night in a smokey bar :) 
 
I would take a look at the change in EQ and volume that occurs at 1:55 thru about 2:15 ("Greatest stories..."). I think trying to keep it the same or closer to what has gone before might work out better.
 
I like vocal harmony, and so will suggest bringing some in on the phrases just before the hook line "Some kind of Adventure this is" (which I would keep solo).

I like that song.  Very cool.
 
Ditto on setting the vocals into the mix a bit better.
 
Get a Wave editor and use it to trim the silence at the end. I use this one: http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/index.html   It's free... be careful to un-select the junk that wants to install with it.... just say no...  get Wavepad. It runs in full mode for a while then starts bugging you to buy the full version. You can if you wish, or you can choose "run in demo mode" which allows trimming and conversion to MP3 and some other useful options.

Thanks! I didn't fade the end yet, was still working on the mix, great suggestions rbecker and guitarhacker!

Great country sounding number.  I agree with the comments above but have nothing to add.
Nice one!!

Thanks Freddy!

That's a good song. Quite a refreshing sound actually, enjoyed it very much.

Here's mix 2, thanks James!
