Quote:Thanks Screener 255 for the foward and your very kind words...they were greatly appreciated. I got a foward to a Nashville listing, listing S070720CO. In summary, it was a listing for a West Coast Publishing Company that is seeking Neo-Traditional country songs to pitch to Nashville artists such as Brad Paisely, Alan Jackson and Trace Adkins. I was blown away when I got this foward today. I never expected it, but thanks so much for fowarding New Girl In New York City. http://www.taximusic.com/hosting/home.php?userid=2572Yo ChitsGood things come .. and all that. Well done, brother. Er, I mean sister. Well done.Liam.

ChitsJust listened to the track. What an absolute belter of a song. Great, great track. And I know nothing about country.One small thing - the line in verse 2 that goes the country guy is so happy with his life, he's got this and that and a 'job down at the factory'. For me (sorry) that line let's down the whole song. I never met a guy who loved working in a factory. Can you make him farmer or something?Terrific song. I urge all lurkers here to check it out Liam

What a great song!! Way to go and many, many deals to come, Chits! Congratulations.

Thanks Brennan and Squid for all your nice words. Liam, yeah, maybe that factory line is something to think about....maybe a rewrite could make him a 'farmer.' Anyway, all y'alls thoughts are appreciated.

Quote:Let's not let the factory comment spoil a terrific tune and a great forward I agree -- especially when taken in context. There used to be a tradition of appreciating a factory job in America. (political disclaimers applicable) I know a lot of farmers who worked in the shop and came home to another day's work. Not much griping about either from my side of the middle class creek. Also, Motown was home away from home for a lot of southern folk who were only too happy to have a factory job. This song sings from the heart of rural American values. I will not be surprised to hear it on the radio someday.best,bc

My husband works at a plant in Alabama which used to have a branch in Scotland, (well, I know you're originally from Ireland) and when he visited there, he said it was kind of dark and cold looking as far as the plant environment went.I think BC nails it here though. Thanks BC for your nice comments and Liam too. Yeah, one reason I wrote that 'factory job' line is because I live in Alabama. Recently, we've gotten a lot of automotive plants to locate down here....Mercedes, Hundai, Toyota and Honda. I believe BC said he's from Michigan? So he can understand this line as he points out. Down here, factory jobs like that pay really good money for rural folks out in the country and can launch them into the middle class..... it gives them some good purchasing power to buy that house down by the lake.
