Forward for Songs about Friendship S250915DF

[RandallBuffam]

We submitted three versions of the same song "Few Good Friends." Two were returned, one was forwarded. The song was cowritten in Nashville and over zoom. The two versions returned were self produced in a swing style and a pop style. The version that was forwarded was a professionally produced version in a rock style. I'm becoming a "broadcast quality" producer, but at this point, I'm not. It was a great little experiment to write, rewrite and rewrite a song. Then produce, reproduce and reproduce a song. Then, pay an experienced producer to get the thing across the finish line. A lesson in persistence and humilty. The two professionals that helped us were Robin Frederick who helped us rethink some lyric issues and Andrew Machin who took our rough rock demo and redid it so that it would truely be "broadcast quality."

More songs to write. More lessons to learn. I'm very thankful for TAXI and this forum.
