first RECORD DEAL (a collaboration) 6-2-22

Post by funsongs » Thu Jun 02, 2022 9:36 am

I finally get to say "WOOHOO!!" - though it's not a ton of cash, still it's fun.
It's not the result of a direct TAXI client or listing - but the song was from a 5-song CD that was BIRTHED with a collaboration that started in these Forums,
with 2 TAXI 'powerhouses' having inspired & helped tremendously (*).

My co-writer was contacted by a record company in Germany - and they licensed this one:
concept & lyrics by Peter Rahill (c) Funsongs Music/BMI
music, arrangement, recording by Peter Sprague
Crooner/Vocal: Dwayne Lawson
The ENSEMBLE:
drums: Duncan Moore
bass: Gunnar Biggs
guitar: Peter Sprague
piano: Danny Green
sax & flute: Tripp Sprague
trumpet & Flugelhorn: Steve Dillard
trombone: Scott Kyle


(*) - I'm forever thankful to Louise Goldberg & Lamar Pecorino... may you have continued joy and success with YOUR MUSIC endeavors.

Cheers!
:)

By then, it might be more like "Wanna split a donut?!"...
but thanks for the kind words.

Thanks, Tom. It's 'eerie-cool', in a sentimental sorta way - because I did my first live gigging in the first band I was ever in,
when our family lived in Bremerhaven, West Germany.
So, with this Dusseldorf record company being the first record deal - well, it just adds a bit more STOKE to the news.
PROST!
