Thanks to everyone who gave this a listen and for the kind words. Public apologies go out to Rokket...I was supposed to do an additional part on the end of the song, but (long sob-story short) I ran out of time and anything resembling talent!
I hadn't done any recording in quite some time, so Eddie really had to do some turd-polishing on my solo...anything that sounds good there is a testimony to his skills, not mine. Mic'ing just wasn't working for God-knows-what reason, so I had to go direct...and that's hardly ever a good thing for me.
Thanks again to all involved.
