Helpful feedback really makes a difference

This is a comment and a thank you to listener #347.
I got a return on listing #U131015IN for two submissions. I'm still pretty new (in my first year of being an active Taxi member and dedicating a lot of time to it), so I'm not expecting forwards - don't get me wrong, I want them, but I do listen to what gets forwarded in the forums and I can recognize the difference. That being said, I still submit the best I can do and the feedback is evolving and growing more and more positive. I got one forward a couple months ago and I'm still excited about that.
To the point of this thank you - here are the comments I recieved from listener #347. This is SO helpful. As my partner says, I'm not hitting the bullseye yet, but I'm definitely surrounding it and closing in.
#1) Hi Christine, Thanks for your submission. I dig the melody line, but feel you'd need to dynamically build the piece a bit more for it to be on target for the spot. How about a simple kick drum at around 1:00 to build a little more emotion for the cue?
#2) Very cool. I think this one is on target for the spot, but the transition at :35 is a little awkward feeling. I'd get into the bluegrass part right at the downbeat of the piano and eliminate that area with the shaker/tambo.
