hey jill,
pretty nice result, but i have a few suggestions if you dont mind me saying.....
on this song i would recommend you drop the reverb level on your vocal and bring your pre- delay down to around 20ms, this can help to make the vocal more prominent, also try panning all your instruments a little further...rule of thumb, run vocals and drums centre and try to eq the main vocal and kick/snare (but keep away from anything sub 250h on the vocal though) so they match reasonably closely...the backing vocal imho is too loud and could also do with a lot less reverb..you could also try to pan the backing vocal either left or right, or ideally if you can run some left and right..say about 75% in each case...also the (and this is prob the nasty little harmonizer in the yammi board....whoeeee! wont that generate a comment 
) harmonies are eq'd way too close to the brass/reeds so that thaey actually clash..you need a bit more "air" in the backing vocal which can be achieved by tweaking eq at around th 8k to 16k frequencies...its a pretty good effort for your early attempts at this keyboard arranger stuff, and, once again, imho, you are certainly on the right track..
oh btw, golden rule of mixing...NEVER do pre-mastering or final mixing with headphones, always with monitors.. hope this helps.That's it, I give up. I don't have enough years left. I'm gonna hire someone.
Been dreamin' all your life to come to Louisiana, haven't you, Dennis.
