Tom, thanks for your time and comments.  I love Thomas Dolby, and I appreciate the comparison, though it's completely accidental.  Welcome to the forum.

Lynn this is fantastic. I enjoyed this immensely. Listening on cans it sounds very well balanced, I love the vocals (reminiscent of Peter Gabriel to my ears) and everything in the mix sounds clear.

I don't recall v1 (going to go and find it on SC now) but v2 I like!

Cheers,
Terry.

Terry, this is pure pleasure, coming from you.  Your time and comments give me much encouragement.

I am grateful for all the responses to this song.  One post by theguitarplayer (John) had me thinking, though, and I did my best to try his suggestions.  This latest mix is the result.  I hope this is in the ballpark, and that it keeps the original flavor as well.  Thanks again for your help.  The new mix can be found here:http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=11914967&q=hi&newref=1 and in post #1.

Love the re-mix... Great work Lynn...

very cool ending...

 Love the tune and performances Lynn. Great sounding mix too

Really nice Lynn.

Only crit I have is the tik tokish keyboard line in the verse is kind of loud/distracting.
Love the end bit.

Frank, thanks for listening again and your reply.

Grant, I appreciate your time and comments.

Tim, thanks for listening and your comment.  I dropped the volume of the koto and brought up the guitar ever so slightly on the latest mix.  Hopefully, it maintains the stereo balance, but I'm encouraged.

You all have good ears, and I can't thank you enough.

Really cool song, Lynn. Though the idea of you doing the Madonna version really piqued my interest!
You always have great ideas and this tune is no exception.

Thank you so much, James.  Though, you never know about the Madonna version.  I could easily hear a lounge lizard/blues version of this.
