Thank you so much to all who have responded.  There seems to be a consensus that the drums and bottom end needs to come up a bit, and this will be my goal today.  As for comments about the tone of the guitar, I will play with that, too.  I recorded the guitar track several years ago on Sonar 7 through my Line 6 AX2 using a Mesa Boogie emulation which is why it sounds brittle to some people.  At the time, I thought it was cool, but I've changed my mind over the years.

@mstodge- I will put a link on Soundcloud as well as Soundclick.
@vechung- the guitar is only in the right channel to balance with the electric piano in the left channel.  I thought about panning the solos to the center, but that would leave the right channel empty, so that is where my thinking was in regard to that.
@Frank- I will pay attention to the balance of guitar and vocal as you suggested.  This is where extra ears really help me.
@Danny- I will remaster this at a slight lower volume and convert to mp3 at 240 kbs instead of 320.  I suspect that the conversion on Soundclick may have something to do with this because I never had this come up until I started converting at the higher rate.  I would be most appreciative if you could report back to me on this.  I hope that it's not on the 16/44 wave file.
@geeare1- thanks for noticing the time signature!

It's 10:40 am in KC, so give me a few hours, and I'll be back soon with an update.  Thanks again to all my friends that have taken the time to help me.

I'm back with another mix.  I paid attention to the overall drum mix, as well as the EQ on the bass drum and snare.  I hope I didn't overdo it.  I put both Soundclick and Soundcloud links up in post #1.

B36B- Thanks for your time and comments.

That sounds great to me. The drums are a lot better. I like the guitar panned to the right too.

Darn it...I'm sitting here reading all the comments, trying to make sense of it all...and you had changed it all before I listened!  lol.  Anyway, nothing sticks out to me, but I agree with Scott...way to go, keeping it all together with that time signature.  And sorry if that sounds dumb, but I was impressed.  :)  Oh, and great job all around! :)

Thanks for the soundcloud link Lynn. 
Very enjoyable song this, well put together and played brilliantly. Is that you on bass too? Love the way that rides through the song.


One small nit from me was the ending. It didn't end where I was expecting, therefore feeling incomplete to me.

Mark.

Good job on the remix. It sounds much better to Moi. Everything sits better. I was hearing issues with the guitars before, but "everything" sounds better to me... The vocals are excellent. The guitars don't bother me anymore, but don't stick out, and don't sit back either? So read "they are perfect." 

It's still a Steve Miller vibe :-) But that's not bad? I like Steve Miller. And you now have an A+ mix, again, good job. I am impressed with people's ability to take their ideas and modify them and improve them.

Clint, thanks for checking back in and replying.  I put a bit of time in on the drums this time.  I should have done that sooner.

Janet, it's always a pleasure to hear from you.  Thanks for the kind words.

Mark, thanks for returning.  That's me on bass; I actually wrote this song on that bass line and built upon it.

Robbie, thanks for taking the time to listen again.  All the suggestions here have really inspired me, and I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate it.  I'm flattered by the Steve Miller comparison.

Rimshot, thank you for you kind words.  Much appreciated.
