A Few Forwards Lately

Post by DLWN » Mon Oct 02, 2023 10:49 am

I've had 4 of my last 7 submissions forwarded on...including one "Kiss This Christmas" for the Taxi Compilation. Still no placements on any of them, but it feels like "it's working!"

Just as an encouragement for all of us who hear "No" regularly. "Yes" is still out there and might be right around the corner!

Greetings Music makers, Hope the muse is working for all. And speaking of muse - I am reading the fairly new Rick Rubin book, The Creative Act A Way of Being, and recommend it to all. My name is Billy Kemp, a three month newbie, and I just had my first forward last week, an instrumental called Yank Road, and am grateful. I have submitted six pieces so far having, an average of two per month. Thanks for the opportunity to share the news and write my first forum contribution. Much success to everyone. Cheers, Billy
