Good news, Mani.Tell me, were you drinking rum when you wrote it?

Nah Drew,No Rum involved. Can't stand the stuff! Yeah Dave,I really hope it gets used. Apparently Captain Morgan is the biggest selling flavoured rum in the world and the No. 4 selling spirit/liquor in the States. I've been researching the product and willing them to use my track!!! With any luck it'll get used and end up a signature tune like that McDonalds melody. (ba da ba da daaaaa) I'll be rolling around naked in dollar bills if that happens! Kinda like Cartman from South park!!!!

Mani,Congrats, and my fingers are crossed for you. I think we'd all take a shot of Captain Morgan (like it or not ) if we thought we'd get a chance at that kind of placement. Good luck.Jeff

Hey Mani,I know a guy in the Caribbean who writes books on rum. And newspapers columns. And drinks lots. When I lived there, everyone was a "rum expert" though. It's an acquired taste that a gig like that could promote. Best of luck to you on that forward.
