This song sounded like fun to put down. I can hear joy in your voice. I had a good time listening. Thanks for sharing it! 
 
P.S. I love that acoustic sound you get! What make is the guitar? How did you lay it down?

Very quite, but nicely played, good voice and most important...a good song.

Thanks guys. 
 
The guitar is a Martin GPCPA4.  There's two tracks both recorded at the same time.  One direct into my interface (M-Audio Fast track Ultra 8R) and one mic'd with a Sterling ST31 about 12 inches away and pointed at the neck junction.  The tracks were cloned then panned left and right to 65%.  The tracks sound ok separated but sound much better when they are put together in the same space.  The mic'd track is just a touch louder (about 2 DB's) than the direct track.
 
Working on the reverb issue and the overly compressed master bus now.  I'll put it up when I think it sounds better.
 
Thanks again, for the kind words, Keith

Yup... good song as Scotty said, the mix is easily fixed.
 
Hiss can be a result of recording levels being low and them trying to turn it up later with software gain.
 
I had to have the levels on the player all the way up as well.   I also record country music, and using rock drums is par for the course today in Nashville.  When you get the mix under control, the drums will be fine.
 
This forum is a great learning tool. Post your stuff, ask questions and you will get some great advice on how to do things better.  
 
Great first time out of the box....
