Hey Jeff,
The link to that blog about songwriting contests and Taxi is:

Let me know if you have thoughts too - others have chimed in with pertinent information based on their own experiences.

Hi Natalie,
Hmm. The blog is coming up fine on my computer. Do you get that error message when following a link to the blog, or when you type in songwritingtechniques.net into your browser?

Thanks for the comment -

Andrea

I love your blog and was getting excited about checking out the new songwritingtechniques.net blog but unfortunately, there is an error message on it, below the blog title, it says “” instead of the post content.

Andrea,

Thanks for responding to my comment about Taxi awhile back. Sadly, I can’t find the post you refer to, the one you wrote about Taxi. Can you point me to it?

Love the new blog, too!

I really like writing songs but I have no voice to render it out.

My debut album is contemplative music punctuated by chances to laugh.

Eh? You want to hear me now?

The commonality between all our comments here seems to be finding folks to listen to our songs. Instead of generalizing in a response to your comments, I’ll write a blog about some concrete steps we can take towards that goal. Hang tight -

Glad it was helpful. You might check out Eric Beall’s blogs here. He’s a music publisher with lots of experience and can certainly address more questions you have in greater depth.

Good advice. Make sure you know what you are doing because the end product represents YOU. Keep in mind the person listening to your demo may not know you. All they have to go by is what is coming through the speakers. So, it is well worth the investment to get a quality engineer to mix your tracks.
