Hi DanO,
Great 12 bar blues tune. 
Good (fun) lyrics & nice bluesy organ sound. I assume that you multi-tracked your vocals, right? What recording equipment (software/hardware) did you use to produce your tune?
SD1 and tascam 788 . Everything you heard was 4 tracks .I recorded the sequence onto the hard drive . Play the sequence back and sing the lead part . I than overdud the harmony's and organ lead parts on the 3rd and 4th tracks . Every tune I have produced is done this way .
I'm curious, did you actually play this tune in D, or did you play it in another key (ei: C or F) and then transpose it (to best hi-light your vocals) to D?
I sequenced everything in the key of D .
As you probably know, D,E, & A are the favored keys that guitar players like to play the blues in, but as a keyboard player, although I'll relunctantly play in other keys, I much prefer playing the blues in C,F, & G, because these keys work best on the keyboard to best capture that signature bluesy sound on the keyboard: easily slipping (sliding) your finger from b3-3, b5-5, b7-7, etc.
I'm now curious to hear what keys the rest of you prefer playing 'the blues' in. What are your favorite and least favorite keys to play in? Feedback appreciated.
I am confortable playing in C,D, E, F,G, A .
My skills lack a little in the black keys .
Scott over and out dano
Thanks for the compliments !
