forward "certificates"

[geo]

It always amazes me that a "bitch" attracts more attention than a song in Peer to Peer..... GeoP.S. I think the certificates are silly.P.P.S. My one hangs in my studio.P.P.P.S. Mr. Clonsberry, good to see you again.P.P.P.P.S. I'd be happy if anyone called right now

I have seen what I consider some pretty lame certificates on display in people's offices. Each of them has meaning to the person that framed them and that is what matters.I can think of a few TAXI certificates that I would want to frame.My first one - (hopefully soon)My first one that turns into a dealMy first one that plays on the radio.My first one that turns into a #1 hit.Michael, thanks for your response. Everytime I read something by you I think about what a great company you run.Trent

I still haven't printed out the certificate yet for the forward that just turned into my first deal. Will take care of that little detail tomorrow.

Thanks for all the work you do, Michael. It's a shame that someone's stinging ego (I mean, c'mon, was yreppy's post REALLY inspired by certificates?) can turn into such a big scene, ultimately requiring you to take time from the tireless work that you do for us so that you can do damage control. Are the certificates a new thing? I've had a couple of forwards, but I've never seen a certificate. Watch how I can refrain from cryin' about it!

This music world of ours is filled with people at all levels in their journey. One person's taxi forward might be as important to that person as a record deal to someone else. On my wall I have a certificate of Honorable Mention in a Billboard Songwriting contest (I made the top 1500), an article about me, and a framed copy of an ASCAP check for $7.45. Are these big things? Well I could say I ONLY made the top 1500 in that contest.... or I could think about how many people would love to be there. To someone who has won many major contests, maybe getting that top 1500 thing wouldn't be as important. To someone whose been collecting a steady income from ASCAP, that $7.45 might be trivial.And the music world is a world full of disappointment and rejection. We are all humans and like something to brighten our day and give us acknowledgment that we are making progress.So please remember the simple thing: Everyone is at a different place in their journey.
