Vicky, it was great to meet you finally on the last day. It was even better that you thought I might have been and A&R dude. That made me laff pretty good. Congrats on getting your track played for the panel, you did a great job on it.Best,--Andy Warr.(bald guy from Oregon)

yeah Lamont was awesome- i was blown away that he has like 10,000 songs written and writes everyday- very inspiring. i did notice in the panels a lot more people having higher production skills than in years past (kinda cool that we're all getting better, but kind of annoying because it is more competitive ), and i found tanvi patel's analysis of "broadcast quality" vs. "master quality," to be interesting (amongst many other than things, of course). VTBP, i put a note to you on Jeff's post too (should've put it here...)

Vicki, you got your track played fo a panel? Which one? What'd they say?? (oh wait, should I ask that last one? I never know what those guys think!)

I never know what those guys think!)I was lucky enough to have a jazz song played on the panelDesign Flaws www.taxi.com/vickythebassplayer if interested starts quiet.......I had wanted to meet JC Quintero, because he was representing jazz...and I did get to briefly talk to him afterwards in the middle of the mob, too....his comments...were that he liked the way the rhythms unfolded, and kept him interested...and really liked the sax sound not having to much reverb...they listened 'til the guitar solo...but he didn't say he was blown away.....I kept kicking myself though, because I now realize it would have been better to choose a different song....especially because the room mix would have sounded better with the blistering funk (the sound in the room made a big difference in where you were sitting).....oh well......I don't upset over that kind of stuff...... vtbp

The rally was cool. My first time at the event, and I can now see why there was all this hype about it.It was great to meet people who are interested in the same things I am. And the classes were valuable. I think I now must return for a 2nd rally, now that I know what it's all about.

Vicky, Vicky!!So glad I got to meet you!! And so many of the Dots. But I missed out on meeting several more, and I could kick myself for that.Next year, for sure!
