Fun, bouncy return - Beware the Uke

[daveydad]

One screener recently thought this would be a great track for a light, bouncy listing... but the one who got it, had this to say. Live and learn.

I don't know, David, it's not bad but it's just not doing it for me. It may be the instrumentation. There have been so many submissions with ukelele and synth elements. It just feels like been there done that. Fun and bouncy, gotta pull out the uke. It's not a bad thought but I'm just keeping my ears perked for something a little fresher.

It's awesome that you have this kind of communication with a library. I'm still pining for my first deal, I would love to have someone to work with.
