That was completely excellent....
I'd like to offer a positive commentary.
First someone needs to tweak the EQ on the vocal a bit. This lady can sing wonderfully, but there's something in the EQ that might work for Geddy- but not for her. She sounds like Cheryl Crow a bit to me. And going that direction on Making Memories would be very interesting.
Second, and this might be pretty nit-picky but: Many of Rush's lyrics are pretty clumsy. So Geddy seems to make that work by being very concise by making words begin and end on easily defined beats (4th/8th notes- extrapolate for weird time sigs). This helps the band sound even more tight, and the lyrics less clumsy. On Making Memories she was drifting over the beat a little. Which is fine- many singers do that (Cheryl Crow comes to mind).

thanks for the thoughtful tips, worth considering but so far we're pretty happy with the results
