Greetings to all of you on this forum. I've been reading for a few weeks and enjoying your success. I'm new to Taxi (a few months) and have a success of my own to share.I got my first forward with my song, "I'll Show You Where."Here's the link... lemme know what you think. Cheers!http://www.taximusic.com/song.php?song_ ... =trueDerek

Hey Derek,Welcome to Taxi, the forum, and a big congrats on the forward.Wonderful song, vocals, arrangement, musicianship, etc. etc. All around good work! Was that Eric Clapton on guitar?Please share with us which listing this was for.All the best,Steve

Whoa! Nice work, Derek.Congrats on the forward, and welcome.so, I'd also be curious to know which listing this was forwarded to.so was this farmed out? Was that you singing? Was this recorded/produced by you? Outstanding.Ted

Yep, that's me singing. I go to Nashville to have tracks cut and bring PT files home and do vocals in my home studio.Sorry for omitting the listing. Here it is:CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN/ADULT CONTEMPORARY SONGS are needed by the Sr. VP of A&R at a Major Christian Label in Nashville. Think along the lines of songs that would be pitched toward Nicole Mullen, Point Of Grace, Wes King, Steven Curtis Chapman, Susan Ashton, Michael W. Smith, etc. Songs with overt Christian references are fine, but it's recommended that a balance between conversational and religious/spiritual tones is there. In other words, it may not be the best idea to simply quote scripture for this one. A more personal interpretation and a very real & human experience might make for a more unique and solid pitch. Musically, the tone should be contemporary with big hooks and emotional/powerful lyrics. All tempos will be considered for this listing. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics. All submissions will be screened and critiqued by TAXI and must be received by July 3, 2008.
