Hello,I just submitted the piece "Two Left Feet Waltz" to this Dispatch Listing:Upbeat CAROUSEL/CALLIOPE MUSIC INSTRUMENTALS are needed by the President of a Los Angeles-based Publishing Co. Think music from a circus or carnival; from a horse carousel ride; and from 1950s/1960s children’s TV shows (e.g. the Howdy Doody Show theme). That’s the general vibe they’re seeking. While they want tracks that relate to/represent the innocence of children, they also want these tracks to appeal to adults. Your instrumentals must be at least 1:30 in length.My take on this was to have the calliope being played along with a low budget circus band. I found a steam calliope sample online so you can hear the steam in the melody and chords. I was trying to get a fun, herky-jerky feeling, just a lilttle off kilter. www.johnmazzei.comFeedback solicited.Enjoy,Mazz

Hey Mazz, I was able to get your track to play..I really like the contrast you have..just when you think you know where the melody is going, you surprise us..two left feet..that's probably how I look when I'm dancing..Your song is definitely carousel with a twist..jbeck
