Summer Success! ***UPDATE***

[ibanez468]

Hey ALL!I've managed to record the commercial & edit the video in it's entirety, so at least the beginning can be seen. Didn't miss a whole lot, just like ta' be thorough about it. http://s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj44 ... HES.flvHey everyone!Although this isn't a success story directly related to TAXI, it's still a success story nonetheless (at least I think so). But it can be related indirectly, because of the lessons that I've learned while being a member. Those lessons apply to this as well. If this is not appropriate for posting, then I apologize in advance, and will remove if necessary. Check out the first of 3 television spots & 2 radio spots for the Illinois State Lottery. My producer buddy & I put the background music for this together (well...actually he put it all together, and just told me what to play. I'm playing the bass & guitar parts, and he brought in a singer ta' do the vocs.) I'm sure all the Chi-town & Illini folks'll see it, but for those that won't, I thought I'd post for y'all to see. This will be the 2nd consecutive summer that we've done the background music for the lottery campaign. It's supposed to run all summer long. I've posted a video clip as well as an audio clip. Didn't catch the very beginning of the commercial (was a little late pressing the record button) but got the majority of it. The audio clip is in it's entirety though. Lemme' know what ya' think!

Wow, that's great, I-468!! How exciting!! I especially like the double meaning for you in the lyrics of that song-- "replay for riches"-- if they keep replaying that song, that's exactly what you'll be getting!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Laughing all the way to the bank!!! Way to go!!! Raags

Hey Raags,Thanks! Yeah, it is exciting, cause that's exactly what'll happen. I'll go to the bank, but I won't be rich, unfortunately (unless I actually play & get lucky ). Still a good deal though.BTW, that's a cute avatar Raags!I-468
