Hi Tracey and Vance,
​I am so excited! I won a book on Taxi TX Monday that I already had. I asked them if I could have a copy of the “Marino book” instead, and they are sending it to me at the end of the week! Michael plugs your book often! Looking forward to your book.

Tracey & Vance,
Thank you again for taking the time to talk to me yesterday. It was informative, and changed my thinking on more than one aspect of this. It really did solidify for me that my goal is to get into sync music. I’m afraid to say it out loud, but it is. I am eager to edit & implement your suggestions. You have given me so much truly valuable help.

Hi Tracey and Vance
The book looks amazing! Allow me to join the chorus of congratulations for delivering much-needed, valuable information and hard-won perspectives. The focus on networking warms my heart. I also appreciate the opportunity for the first time in my literary career to conjure up the term "ambassadorial."
Much respect,

Hi Guys,
Getting so much out of your book. I read the 1st few chapters of “Hey!”  then I skipped ahead to the marketing section which is quite interesting. It’s a terrific resource.  
Cheers,

This sounds like a great book. Hal Leonard published eight of mine, and I hope yours is a big success for all of you.
My clients are always asking me about placing their original tracks in movies and TV shows. I bet I could sell 100 copies by referring [this book] to my clients.

Hi Tracey and Vance,
I thoroughly enjoyed you segment on Taxi TV. Very insightful and valuable. I am a long-time ASCAP writer, publisher, singer-songwriter, recording artist, sound designer, actor, novelist, husband, grandpa, musician, window washer, garage-cleaner-outer, margarita maker, etc. OK, all the kidding aside...I am starting to have some good luck with placing my music and I REALLY want to buy a copy of your book. BUT, I want to buy one that is SIGNED. How do we work that out? 
Let me know.
My Best,
C.N., Inductee, Kansas Music Hall of Fame; KS
