Hi All:
I've been lurking on this site since I first tried recording a few months ago. I've been trying to soak up as much as I can. It's fun being on the steep end of the learning curve.
Based on quality of the recording and songs I've heard here, I should probably get better at this before I ask for a critique. When I've gotten into new hobbies in the past though, I've found the fastest way to improve is to get critiques from knowledgeable strangers (who won't pull punches). I hope to do the same here.
I would appreciate critiques of a song I wrote recently. The title is Wanderlust and it was inspired by a friend who is setting out on her own to see Europe. I'd value comments about any aspect of the song, including recording, mixing, performance, and the song itself. Anything to help me improve...
I play the instruments and do the harmonies. My friend Hillary does the main vocals. The song is the only one up at

Instruments include acoustic guitar, banjo, and harmonica. All other instrument sounds come from an old Yamaha keyboard. Recorded using an MXL 2001 mic and a TASCAM US-122 interface. Mixed in Cubasis.
Many thanks in advance,
Scott
