would YOU spend the $5...

Me, personally, I LOVE this little tune. But I'm not certain it fits this listing. (...light, breezy...) And considering this is NOT a listing that includes a critique, I'm curious how many of you would risk the moola on this submission.The listing:ACOUSTIC GUITAR INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a great Production Music Library/Publisher that has signed tons of TAXI members over the years, and has made money for many of them. They're looking for fairly basic tracks that can be JUST one guitar or a combination of guitar and a couple of other instruments. Think of light, breezy tracks that would be good for TV spots for pharmaceuticals, feminine products, E.D. (yes guys, little blue pills) products, insurance and other innocuous, inoffensive products that are foisted upon you every day. Tracks should ideally run between :60 and 3 minutes in length, and be easily edited into :30s and shorter, with buttoned endings preferred. Broadcast quality is necessary -- excellent home recordings should be just fine. Their deal is typically an exclusive agreement with a 5-year reversion clause. Please submit one to three tracks online or per CD. All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS ONLY -- NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI -- and must be received no later than August 15, 2008.TAXI # Y080815INAnd the song ("Rear-View Mirror"):http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... am=1thanks, y'all.Ted

It *might* be a little safer without the percussion, just guitar and bass but the listing does say you can include other instruments and the percussion is definitely tasteful and non-distracting. The whole thing is light and breezy. I'd do it and I think you should too (but you can't borrow $5). Dave

Hey Ted,Yea definately send it in........Unlike Dave I would lend you $5. Of course I expect 10% of all revenue generated by said track in all territories and in perpetuity etc. etc. Derek

...it sounds perfect for the listing...go for it (I would) !!! Chuck

Listening as I type, yeah, I would chance it. It has enough parts that can be edited and broken up into snippets for somebody's audio rolodex.I know what you mean about the Yes/No basis and no critique.I don't have much moola either and would like to at least get a critique from a screener. But a lot of guys around here may know as much as a screener.I say, go for it, it's a good piece. Wig

Very cool. Thanks, y'all. I think I shall.
