Hi WigThe only way for a thread to die is to stop responding. All YOU can do is stop throwing your own gas on the fire. I'm not attacking you here... just saying that the need to get the last word in (by everyone on any forum!), stirs the flames.I hope you will talk to taxi about your refund and move on as far as your own membership experience. You've made your feelings well known... Stick around the forum and exchange song reviews, etc... Best,Casey

I think "taxi whore" is a great song. I dont have a problem with the chorus not hitting at 30secs as the verse is interesting. Your voice has a nice tone and the backing track is fine for a demo.I wonder if you substituted "whore" for something else would it get a forward?My cunning plan (for song writing ) is to give the market what it wants in an original heartfelt way as possible. Get the $ in then do exactly what I want.Good Luck.

hey wigs--listened to the last version, and i like it allot.--my only suggestions, you know it's too long, and it could be trimmed if you wished to shorten it without losing much effect.--i think the title is just fine, as a matter of fact i'd pound it more, ONLY suggestion on the title is to NOT capitalize TAXI, the words themselves stand by themselves, and frankly as i'm hearing this song, it has NOTHING imho to do with the organization TAXI, (if it wasn't posted here...LOL) but, just Taxi Whore as a more standard spelling, and shortening the tune by removing a verse and you have some instrumentation measures that don't do much either way that could be cut pretty easily to get it down to a "saleable" tune.i like it. again, i'd pound the hook/title line MORE. a good story/idea song IMHO.have a good one,warren

I just did it as an attention getter and then couldn't edit the title text.Yeah, the length of this song is a death knell. Is that a word, knell? Anyway, it has been suggested (by Matt I thnk) that I drop the third verse because it doesn't drive the story but he liked the "no bell" line.What superfluous instrumentation measures are you talking about? I just mixed in some piano and guitar licks from on of my music partners. I can lose any and all of what's needed to get this down to about 3:15.But, I don't see this as a saleable tune per se. Maybe just an album song on an upcoming CD called "Wigged Out."Certainly not an artist pitch, which I'm told by Casey is a near impossibility. But maybe for film/TV. I've posted it to the 615 Song Catalog and if they pick it up, I'll post another mix that is trimmed way down.That mix will be sung by a female as it should be.Thanks for the good advice, Wig
