Thanks for the feedback guys (or girls?). Sorry for the belayed response, but I had a late night gig last night.
I've reposted this song incorporating some of your suggestions and also made a few more. I changed the hi-hat, because the more I listened, the more I thought the original sounded pretty fake...this one should sound more natural.
Also, I de-essed the vocals at 5k. There's a lot of "esses" being sung in there, and it started to grate on me. I think I was able to soften them up and make them sit a little better in the mix.
ido1957 - I added just a touch more 'verb to the main vox...probably not enough to tell, but it's there. I want to keep it pretty organic, especially over the verse parts since the guitar riff is so stacatto. By the way...what radio station do I need to tune in to to listen to that groovy song of yours?
HeyHeyMyMy - When I was mixing this booger down, I debated on lowering the vocals a tad, so it's interesting that you mentioned that. I think the de-essing may help.
Rayc - As always, thanks for your feedback...see above about the reverb.
