Dan-You sure write quickly! Do you feel like your other songs are as close to this Taxi listing as they're going to get, or do you just prefer to have a lot of songs to submit?I think if I were the listing party, I'd rather hear one awesome, finely polished song than several that are pretty good but not quite there.

Well, I got great reviews, he basically said everything was top notch, but...the lyrics just weren't quite strong enough. Who would have thought!? I knew it was my weak point, so I'm just glad to know that he thought all of the rest of my skills were right up there. So, needless to say, returns all around.I need to find a great lyricist to work with...then the hits WILL happen How about the rest of you?

Hey, Daniel.Still LOVED the tune. And your ability to work and make changes and edit and RE-PRODUCE at such a pace was amazing...MIND-boggling...inspiring.You have a great tune (that could only get BETTER from here), and -obvioulsy- an enormous amount of support here.I don't believe for one second that I should say anything less than "Congrats". You affected MY head and my life. That matters. (Well, to ME, anyway.)Now, go write something new. Ted

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it! I don't consider it a failure myself at all, just a good learning experience, and I actually have something in the works that might have prevented me from doing it even if I had gotten the gig (more on that soon I hope...but I'm actually under contract not to talk about it yet! ). But yeah, it was a great challenge, I got a great response, and at some point I will find that lyricist!Dan
