Best compliment ever

[aubreyz]

Okay, this may seem anticlimactic after all of the cool comments in this thread, but we got this message today from a 15 year old on our myspace:Quote:you sound different to other bands thats why its awesomeI've been so focused on screeners, listings, technicalities, etc... it was great to get a compliment like that from some random kid. Just a reminder that we're making music for people to enjoy, and by just being ourselves are at least partially reaching the goal of not sounding like everything else out there.Aub

Quote:Well, even though TAXI has never forwarded this particular tune, an a capella tune of mine --by some miraculous series of falling dominoes back in 1997-- made it from me to a friend of mine to HIS friend, Broadway legend Jerry Herman, who asked if he could send it to his publisher, who about a week later asked if he could send it to his boss. About five days later, I got a phone call at 7 am PST from the man (Bill Poracelli) who runs the publishing offices in NYC for Paul McCartney, telling me how much "Mr. McCartney" loved my song and would be eager to hear more of my music. TedI don't think I would ever wash my ear again if I those words came through it! Casey

TedI don't think I would ever wash my ear again if I those words came through it! CaseyI actually TRIED to go that route, but it just got too nasty by the third week and I had to come to my senses. And FWIW, a little bit of an update...Just a week or so after I made that post, while I was in NYC seeing my step-dad, I got an email from TAXI, letting me know that my a capella doo-wop song was forwarded to the same music library/publisher that already had two of my other songs (also thru TAXI forwards). WooHOO! It was the last forward I got before heading to the Rally. Ted
