Mike - thanks, man..

eddie - thanks for the comments - and suggestions. I gave that a try - adding a guitar solo through the last part of the ending chorus - but did not find anything that felt right - nothing felt like it was adding something "special"... could be I just don't have that in me...

Vic - I tried that, too. It seemed "not quite right" (but I may be interpreting it incorrectly). But, again, I appreciate the suggestions...

Doug - thanks for that..

Geoff - what a very nice thing to say. I do appreciate it. (After that last incident, I had to give up gin, myself... I'll stick with the light beer...)
