Hi everyone,
sorry I haven't responded in a bit...been away w/ the holidays and all then basically rebuilt my pc with some Black Friday purchases .
Anyway, I really appreciate all the input, and especially the Reverend for his very detailed response. I did tweak the mix (which has been uploaded), and tried to tighten the transitions and a few loose banjo parts. All in all though I think it's good to go, so I'm going to submit this for mod review. thanks again for all of your extremely valuable input!
