I'm just looking for some consistency. :D
Just because all yellow Checker TAXI cabs look the same, doesn't me you get the same ride,
nor wind up at the same destination. :? :lol:

Yea, that's weird. You can email to headscreener AT taxi dot com for clarification. They should be consistent that way unless there's more to it such as the recording itself. Worth a quick email to get an explanation.
Thanks, I think I'll do that. Nothing to lose (I hope). :D
Before you do that, I think you need to acknowledge the mix problem I mentioned and you agree with. Because of that, fiddle or no, I feel the track would likely have been returned. I mean, you can talk to the head screener and say your feedback wasn't clear compared to what was forwarded, but if it were screened again I think you'd still get an R. Good thing is, if you tweak the mix you've got a great track you can submit to TAXI in the future, or, pitch to libraries on your own.

True, Vikki. Although I didn't get a chance to listen, it probably would have been returned based on feedback here. As far as writing headsceener, I didn't mean as far as getting the return reversed, just to get clarification or correction on the comment that it shouldn't have fiddle when others with fiddle were forwarded. Taxi appreciates the feedback to help the screeners do the best job possible. Obviously, polite & respectful emails are appreciated, not the other.... well you know, kind.

Hope you are well! Long time! :D

Thanks for the additional input. Very busy now with prep for a long term trip. So, I've decided to just wait for the next bluegrass listing, tweak my song and submit it. Only problem is that I'm an old geezer and bluegrass listings are few. Might not last until the next one. :lol:
