Attn:
Michael Laskow:
The professional panels were honest, thoughtful, engaging and showed
a high degree of openness and goodwill toward TAXI and its members.
What a great
weekend of information, education, and music from an insider's perspective.
Rally it
was, because the collective spirit of aspiring songwriters and musicians
who made the trip from near and far were really encouraging.
We learned
from each other in SO many ways (performances, critiques, Q&A's),
and met face to face with high level industry execs as well as potential
collaborators from all over the world.
THANKS AGAIN!
TAXI IS GOOD PEOPLE.
Michael and the entire TAXI Staff:
I hope you all are getting some well deserved rest after this weekend's
activities. Thank you again for your hospitality at the Road Rally.
I think that the one thing the entire membership will agree on, is
your dedication to the cause.
Thanks very
much,
Christopher Grey
Barrington, IL

Dear
Michael:
After a man I was recording with recommended TAXI to me, I engaged
in a tepid relationship with your company, uncertain of your legitimacy.
The Road Rally, however, dispelled all of my hesitation and now I
know how real and wonderful you and your staff are.
The information
I walked away with from the event astounded me. It is as if I have
been awakened from a deep slumber. I work with the focus you have
given me.
Thank you
for the amazing weekend and your tremendous gift!
Sincerely,
To Michael Laskow (the wizard of A&R):
I just wanted to drop you and your staff a note of "Thanks!" for yet
another successful Road Rally. I have been a member for 1 year and
attended the Road Rally last year as well. It was nice to see that
more people have discovered TAXI ... I spent most of the weekend wishing
that I had joined sooner. I thought the guest speakers were informative
as well as entertaining. I truly appreciate the time, money & effort
that went into planning this weekend. I attended another songwriter
conference in October that I paid $ for and it didn't come close to
the TAXI Road Rally! In the course of a year I have gotten 12 forwards
& have been contacted by 3 companies associated with TAXI and a Road
Rally A&R panelist called me just last week after hearing my CD. I
have become a better writer and artist because of TAXI. I now have
focus and direction ... yes, there is a yellow brick road.
Regards,
 More Road Rally Info!
