First time greeting on the Forum
Posted: Wed Jan 29, 2014 12:16 am
Warm greetings, fellow Taxi Forum members,
My name is Barry Gould and I've enjoyed meeting some of you and other possibly non-Forum Taxi members
at Road Rallies 2010, 2011, and 2012. [I've enjoyed meeting each one, not just some.
] After some intense
life delays, and having to miss the 2013 Rally, I'm glad to finally be getting on the Forum and hope I learn quickly how to participate well. Please feel free to let me know if I do something strange or clumsy. I'm new to any kind of forum use.
A bit about me: As a Taxi member I've had some forwards and a library deal. I got into the music business as
a teenage keyboardist-singer playing jazz-fusion and pop, had one of my songs recorded by a jazz-funk band
in the UK as the single on their album, went to music school, arranged and performed on albums, music-
directed musicals, lived in Japan for five years while working with Yamaha as composer and consultant,
gave piano/keyboard concerts, etc. and in all of my adventures, did not really know how to find more uses
for my instrumental compositions, songs, and performing. TAXI helped me a lot to get a more accurate
picture of the current music business scene and what it needs. I tend toward Jazz, Classical, Trad.Film,
Gospel, CCM, Pop, Pop-Rock, and Soul.
Again, I've thoroughly enjoyed meeting you fellow musicians at the Road Rallies and learning various helpful and
encouraging tidbits from you. I look forward to hearing more of your music. Thanks for being open and friendly.
And thanks for reading,
-Barry Gould
