Hey Bill- I see your song, Hill of Tara was selected for the Delta Flight Museum. Congrats! My song was under consideration too. If someone had to edge me out, I'm glad it was you! lol.
Hey Randy it wasn't me it was that other selection :) One thing I have learned about these opportunities is it's not how good the song is necessarily, it's about what they already have in mind before they ever listen to the songs. Hill Of Tara is not one of my best songs. The other song I submitted Enchanted Kingdom has won many nominations and awards including one first place and one grand prize contest. Hill Of Tara has never won anything. go figure !!
I hear ya, Bill. I've had some of my songs chosen that made me scratch my head because I knew I had better ones. lol. But hey...a win is still a win! :-) If I ever get to the Delta Flight Museum, I'll see if I can hear your song playing. I wouldn't mind going there. I still enjoy aviation-related things. I was a helicopter pilot when I was in the Army.
Hey Bill, Congrats on the ISC acknowledgement.... it is fun to be in first place at such a high level.... Best, Chet Nichols
Thank you Chet !

Wonderful performances here. Just previewed Winter Solstice and have to say that it was one of the better organic experiences I've had over the months. I see work going up to 2011, but what are you doing these days? Your team seems much too talented to just stop. Hope all is well, congrats on your nominations, well deserved surely. N
been attempting to make up for lost time. what good are my connections if I don't visit their world and take a listen to their work? thru this recent challenge to visit everyone, I guesstimate about a third have not logged in "over 30 days ago" according to their member page. what a tragedy if we lose their music or if I in some way have ignored their importance. here's one example of music I hope we never lose. http://www.broadjam.com/artists/songs.php?artistID=57258&mediaID=550698&play=true 1
Hi all it's been a while since I have checked in. Frank and I have been very busy the last couple of years promoting our new release "Journey Around The Sun: A Mayan Odyssey" you can check the album site at journeyaroundthesun.com The album has made some top 10 album charts and was nominated by ZMR for , Best Album Of The Year, Best Contemporary Album Of The Year and Best Cover Art Of The Year. So it has done very well. We have also started a new Publishing Company called Ponder Dust Publishing LLC. you can check it out at ponderdust.com. Frank is working with Disney this year on a music project. Like I said we have been very busy.:) Now that I have taking a minute to look up hope every one else is doing well with their music. Bill
Bill...NO SURPRISE HERE !! WoW...Album of the Year Best Contemporary Instrumental Album Best Cover Art. CONGRAZ...jAY
Thanks John They are going to announce the winners March 11th.
Hi Fellas, love your sound and vibe! Don't hesitate to add sax if you haven't already- I love to play sparse and meaningful sax-flute! I Will keep working on my sonics as your productions are totally rewarding! -Best regards, Rick
Hi Rick Thank you for your kind words. I really do love that smooth Jazz sound. Here is a song off the "One Day In A Life" CD Live on Video called Night Fall where Sax is the lead instrument. Hope you like it. Bill Wren http://youtu.be/5yE2qq-uxn4 1
Hi Bill I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and performance of ODITL! left a comment on you tbe. I have now posted a song which reflects my true musical ambition "Nightfall" which is especially for you to hear while I am on my gig in Phoenix today. Njoy and hope udig it! It is from my last real jazz album "The Instigator" It is a very intimate git/sax duo
Wow Rick love your sound. Very beautiful. your the man:)
One of the reasons we came out so well on the sonics is we worked with Grundman Mastering on the Journey Around The Sun : A Mayan Odyssey"CD www.berniegrundmanmastering.com They do a masterful job. We tried to produce a sound quality every bit as good as the best label. Maybe just to prove the point we could. Bill
Thanks for taking the time to listen to Nightfall as it is a special song/recording for me. I have learned that you can't polish a turd, and am working hard to get my mixes to sound better and slowly but surely after reading some valuable info it is starting to pay off. I am working on a very elaborate jazz recording for which I will take some time mostly due to funding but I am not in a hurry and have already written some lovely new pices one of which is an hommage to pat metheney whom I look to for musical inspiration along with some others that have been so musically blessed....! Thanks again Bill for communicating with me and I look forward to hearing more of your music while traveling this spring. stay in touch- Rick
"Bill Wren and Frank Ralls have crafted some gorgeous music. Very cinematic, yet emotionally accessible. Evocative melodies combined with excellent production create a very satisfying listening experience." David Arkenstone
Hi Davod. Frank Ralls is a brilliant musician and arranger. He arranged my song "My Heart Belongs To You/with Eric Tyler" and it came out fantastic. All the best, Felice Kaye-Cooper

Hey Bill..Congratz on the e-magazine. Lost contact with u in the old days of the taxi forum.Your work is still top shelf with that great feeling and hot performances!! Been with the jam for about 8 months now.Got my first consideration last week.excited!! peace.r-man
Hi John Good to see you making head way on BJ also. I come an inch from hooking back up with Taxi last week. Really mess the friendships that were made there, and the great custom cirques that were so helpful in my songwriting and production development. The emag was something that was created back in 2008. The new 2011 web site crashed big time before you and hundreds of other people got a chance see it. A new kind of toolbar we were trying caused the crash. When we get it back up and running I'll give you a heads up, it's very cool and very up to date. Take care and tell the Taxi gang mild bill said hi.
