Pretty excited; not sure what to expect, but definitely made our Friday.

Congratulations guys!!!
First one is sweet indeed. Enjoy the moment :)
You've pitched correctly and been vetted by an industry pro in that genre.
They determined based on your entry they would "introduce" you to a new client :D

Now keep writing, submitting, forgetting :)
All the best!

Thanks everyone! I'm reading all of the old posts pretty thoroughly in order to try and understand what's what on Taxi. Gonna head into the studio and record a few more songs in the next few weeks with an eye on a few of the current listings.
