Hello one and all, my name is Paulie Jay. Please feel free to smack me around the head in order to ensure that I follow all Taxi forum etiquette - though you'll find that I'm not a trouble maker I've been performing (over 2500 gigs) and composing for around 20 years. My current songwriting partner is fellow Aussie Nadine Cooke and only last year we recorded an album of melodious goodness.Hope to make many new friends here at Taxi

If people take criticism of their music personally, they aren't ready to share their musicThis is a place to learn and get better but I can't worry about hurting their feelingsI can't help them if they're gonna be like that (I've ran across a few already) And If they think I'm really mean then they haven't been putting their music out there to the producers, who also tell it like it isThen again I don't have any hits so they'll likely use that comeback, which they have, but i'm really harmless
