WOW !!!! (4 exclamation points)

That is great. Congrats.

And the song "Battle Hymn" is fantastic.

Edit: I checked them out on Pedro's facebook. So Cool! And those weren't short little placements either.

Thanks Roger, thanks Russell,

Battle of Jericho they played the whole thing we wrote for them just editing for dialogue approx 1min.
Battle Hymn was supposed to be about 30 seconds but they used almost 2minutes :)

Thanks everybody!
This is the point where I also say something like "Collaboration RULES!"
Seriously, both of us (am I right Pedro?) would say this would have been impossible without the other person helping out in some way.

A previous Taxi post made me write the first song...then it sat on Bandcamp for 6 months. Then an email out of the blue wondering if it could be used on an ABC show. Then panic! The mix was really not that good and it was OBVIOUS that hadn't listened through the entire song (it turns out they didn't NEED the whole thing...but that's besides the point). Pedro made the song SING. It was wonderful.

And then, striking while the iron was hot, we arranged and did a work for hire for a second song for the same producers. Pedro and I spent a lot of time face to face via Google Chat. :)

That and Dropbox saved us. :)

Again, thanks all for the encouraging and kind words.
I don't think it was a fluke because I know both Pedro and I have been actively working at this for several years...I think luck tends to find you more the longer you've been at it. :)

Here's to more luck of the same kind! *raises glass*
