Forwarded to God's buddy!

Yeah Baby. Forwards are always great news. The song that got the nod is - He's Always Therewww.taxi.com/steveagilbertQuote:GOSPEL CHOIR/URBAN GOSPEL/TRADITIONAL GOSPEL SONGS WITH VOCALS are sought after by a Music Publisher who has signed dozens of TAXI writers and has secured multiple placements for them with Major Network TV shows and Feature Films. This Publisher is open to everything from MaryMary, Deitrick Haddon and Marvin Sapp to the Gaither Vocal Band, The Crabb Family and David Phelps to the Oslo Gospel Choir & the Mississippi Mass Choir. You can also think along the lines of The Blind Boys of Alabama, Sister Rosetta Tharpe or Mavis Staples. The stylistic approach is wide open here, but you must be sure that the performances are excellent and the recordings are Broadcast Quality (great home recordings should be just fine). Be sure that you don't submit CCM songs in a popular genre other than what's been requested - this listing is specifically for Gospel songs from Choral to Urban to Traditional. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received by November 21, 2008. TAXI #S081121GOQuote:Steve its really interesting how you've fused the traditional with the intricate. The instrumentation and performance being pretty conventional while the arrangement has a Hip Hop quality in breaks an instrument edits. That is really engaging about your submission. Although the lead vocal is pretty typical the song writing is profound and her energy carries the day. All in all this is truly wonderful Urban Gospel.This submission is pretty much on target but what stands out is the uniqueness of the arrangement.All 9s and except for an 8 for engineering. NICE & RARE.

Listened to the song and played it again. I have played guitar with a number of gospel singers and choirs over the decades. You brought the church into my home office. Thanks for your little bit of heaven. I had a couple of songs forwarded to this same listing and Pray that we both are blessed. BTW I did not know they did gospel in Canada?
