Shining Through | Bruce Bergh

Liner notes

Written for Beth, who eventually became my wife, while I was in Alaska for three months in 2008. I had only met her once, but fell in love through hours of conversations over the time I was gone. I had yet to kiss her at the time! Submitted to Taxi from these instructions:
ATTENTION RAT PACKERS! BIG BAND CROONER MUSIC NEEDED BY a TOP HOLLYWOOD MUSIC SUPERVISOR for the upcoming television season . Looking for VINTAGE CROONER sounding artists with songs in the style of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin's "Mack the Knife," Tony Bennett's "With Plenty of Money and You," etc. Looking for '40s, '50s, '60s era nostalgic vibe with REAL HORNS, NOT SYNTHS! All tempos and lyric content will be considered.Ê DO NOT copy or rip those songs off in any way, shape or form! Use them ONLY as a guide for lyric themes, tempo and mood, etc. ALL SONGS WILL BE SCREENED PERSONALLY BY THE SUPERVISOR HIMSELF. If you've got what he needs, this a great chance to get your material placed in Major Network Hits! He's in song gathering mode right now, so this is an opportunity to get in early - final selections will be made closer to the season's start. Broadcast Quality is needed (excellent home recordings are fine). You must own or control 100% of the Master and Composition rights. YOU WILL KEEP 100% of the income if your song is used-NO Publisher split on this. Please submit one to three songs online or per CD, include lyrics.Ê All submissions will be screened on a YES/NO BASIS by the Music Supervisor himself. NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI. The Supervisor will contact you directly if he is interested. Submissions must be received no later than MONDAY, August 1st, 2011 at 1:00PM (PDT). TAXI# Y110801BB
