They played mine past the first verse and chorus!!!!
I got excited. Then they ripped it apart.

It was an interesting day. That day I'd had three songs critiqued twice. The same three songs each time. Both critiquers liked the same song the best. It wasn't the one I thought they would like the most. But it was the one I played at the Thursday night guest critique session.

One of the critiquers said she didn't critique Christian songs because she was Jewish but she did complain about one thing. And she was right. It wasn't about the song but about the lyric sheet.
