Just got the e-mail that one of my two Christmas songs got a forward! This is a big step for me because it's the most complex bit of engineering I've attempted yet.Here's the link:"Let It Snow"http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... eam=1"Play that Funky Christmas Song" got some nice comments but my non-groovy solo sax line apparently held it back. I got the same comments on the forum about my smooth jazz sax solo. (Sigh.) Guess I better find some way to loosen up. Anyway, I'm happy about the forward. My band tells me that "Let It Snow" is their favorite of all the Christmas tunes I've done for them so far.(It's also weirdly appropriate because I'm sitting here in the middle of a Spring Break snowstorm on the Oregon coast!!)Kathleen

The listing also specified they didn't want rock, and you could potentially consider something based on the Chicago sound to be in the rock category. I'll keep working these up one by one, though. Looks like they may have some life outside the nursing homes after all!Kathleen
