I too am amazed at virtual instrumentation and you stuck out among "thousands". You're obviously doing something very right.

I'm sure Sandra is proud of you also. I read on another thread you mentioned something about having 20-30 (do I have the number right?) of songs you had w/Barbra Streisand in mind. I'd love to hear them. I have one for her too that I secretly fantasize about. Anyway I would love to hear what you have for her, where can I find them?

Congratulations and well done. I listened to the piece and it sounded like the real deal.

Best of basking in the spotlight,

Thank you Lynn!

Probably half the songs Cal DiFalco and I wrote would fall into the Streisand genre. Yeah, I know what you mean about fantasizing about Streisand singing our songs.

Cal and I have tried many ways to get our songs to Streisand. Almost impossible. When Diana Krall was producing a new CD with Streisand, we even funneled some songs through Diana's sister that works with a Children's hospital in Cal's area - we have no shame grin . Sent songs to Streisand's hotel when she was doing Vegas. Contacted 20-30 of her publishers. Begged, pleaded, and sold our souls to no avail. Oh well, we still have our fantasies.

Maybe we could start a “Songs we wrote for Streisand” thread. Love to hear your Streisand tune. Feel free to post it here. I'll have to dig my external hard drive out to post some of my Streisand tunes. Haven't written a song in almost two years.

Best, John smile

Stop analyzing; just compose the damn thing!
