TAXI is (are?) at least legit. They are, I think, fighting an entrenched "club" that really does not want any outside input, and are trying to compete with them on the same high level the Big Boys operate on. Hard gig, but I think they do pretty well at it.

I used to get their tip sheet (it disappeared a few months ago, but I suppose I could get it back if I frequented their Website more). I read it very carefully. I figured (and still figure) if I run into a commercial pitch that exactly ("exactly" is important) matches something I've written, I'll pay the $300 membership fee and send it to them. Only reason I haven't done it yet is there hasn't been a good match.

To answer the other question: I think the only way one can get attention for one's material is for it to be performed. If no one else will do it, you have to do it yourself. I do that. The band played a concert this weekend and got a bunch of new fans, I think. That's smaller scale than TAXI offers, but it's easier--and it will pay off in the long run.

I have not ever used Broadjam--I'm hesitant to send money to anybody, these days--and it's nice to hear more details about what they do (and don't) do. Thanks.
