Another First, not without Taxi's Help...

Post by cassmcentee » Fri Feb 28, 2020 9:40 am

A new cue sheet landed in my ASCAP account.
48 seconds of a Tension cue in the show "Mission Declassified" DECODING AMERICAS UFO SECRETS :P :D
What makes this a "First" for me is that it is my first solo piece/non-collab piece to be used in a show.
Up to now all of my placements had been collaborations.
I submitted this cue 4 times 2015-2016 and was hit with 4 Returns for it, a little dismaying...
But... another cue that was forwarded led to a deal with the library that also took this one.
I would have never created the cue without trying to match a Taxi Listing with it.
Hope that makes sense...
Work hard, don't give up!
Thank you ML/Taxi

(Sorry that I can't share the music for this one)

Great report, Cass. BIG CONGRATS... especially the part about a returned (rejected) - NOT RIGHT FOR THE LISTING piece...
still managed to find a home with a potential future end-user.
That's seriously encouraging and noteworthy... even from one little peanut in the gallery. :? :P
CHEERS.
