I just spent 3 days on the road driving, and spent the majority of that time thinking about 'red shift'. I have always had a hard time with the concept of measuring electro-magnetic waves that are from a source so far away. I feel that your thoughts on 'red shift' being only for sound waves very plausible. I have at least two other reasons to question the use of 'red shift' as a proof of an expanding Universe. To me there are more questions then answers to the 'red shift' measurements.
