emdub123: I listened to a few of your tunes at OurStage. here are a couple of quick observations (or opinions):
A Long Way From Home: There has been lots of talk about long intros -- and that is even more critical at OurStage. You don't get started singing until 0:35. maybe try the start the "intro" at 0:29 and be singing in 6 seconds.
A Broken man: Lower in volume than the 1st tune and the vocals are a little "buried". Bring them to the forefront a little more.
As with everyone else, you have to really do a strict 15-20 second test and see if it grabs the listener. Great songs don't have to, but it seems that if you expect to do well at OurStage, the first 15-30 seconds are really critical.
