Thanks.
All those suggestions are excellent, Laf, but what kind of radio was your listener/friend/critic was using? If he was listening on a cheaper radio, the sound quality would make even Neal Peart or Phil Collins sound like he was playin' a tin can...
If you could get a recording or podcast of your show, you'd be able to hear it much as it left the radio station...but once it hits your radio's antenna, it's at the mercy of the radio...
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
