3 Library Deals in 3 Months

Hi Everyone, I'm stoked! Patience is truly a virtue! I was getting a bit dishearted a few months ago, I'd been a member for almost a year and had some forwards but heard nothing. Then about 2 1/2 months ago I was contacted by a library. So I sent EVERYTHING (about 45 cues) that I had. A week later I was signed as a composer to another library that several other TAXI members have signed with, they needed 20 cues in 2 months and they were semi-exclusive in their deal. Needless to say I've been writing and recording my butt off. I really wanted this one, the head of the library has already taught me a lot about how the library business works and is a great guy. Just yesterday I was offered a deal from a 3rd library and recieved word that the first library had signed 30 of my cues. Every one of these deals started with a TAXI listing. So I have a very humble THANK YOU for Michael, TAXI, and everyone here on the boards. You are an inspiring bunch of people and a wellspring of information.Thanks,Mark
