For what it's worth, I was a member of TAXI for a few years, and only stopped because my interests & energy went elsewhere...But while I was there, I rarely submitted to songs in the yes/no category because I was more interested in the critiques & feedback.

After several submissions, I found a critiquer who I was impressed with, and worked with him(her?)on several songs. I would submit the songs for 'critique only', I think it was $10, and requested the critiquer by ID#....The attention & turn around time was very impressive, and it was helpful to have a person involved in several progressions of the songs.

I wouldn't necessarily advise joining TAXI just for the critiques, but as long as someone is already a member, $10 a pop isn't a bad deal.

I appreciate people who have a trained ear and no axe to grind or need to please me being the ones to do the critiquing.

I have learned so far that:

- Other people hear things I don't necessarily hear.

- Other people have different expectations or standards than I have.

- It is very necessary to pay close attention to the description in the listing. Contemporary Country with Traditional leanings does not mean straight Traditional Country. Oops!

I will submit more this week and see what happens.

Satchel was right. Something is gaining on me.
