Hi Mark, thanks for the original! Like it much!
As it's from 2003, if there is any point of commenting on the original, I'd vote for vocals up just a hair . . . but I think it's much improved without that guy's psychobabble. :)
I wrote my original crit of that guy late at night, and I have to laugh now at how strong I criticised his presence in your otherwise fine song. Sorry to be the crank - and yes I'd agree he's a piece of work!
again, nice song! I feel like I'm in the room with those drums, and the Hawaiian guitar is a treat.
cheers,
-Tom
