Noel,
Congrats on recognition! It is a very cool, masterfully done tune!
P.S. I feel that those TV folks could of sent you a box of tasty Turkish sweets as a compliment smile
Thank you for sharing the song and the story!

Well done, Noel! I knew you would hit it big someday! Seriously, I am always excited for anyone who is taken seriously at this elusive art of songwriting. It's always encouraging to be noticed at whatever level for your passions!

Last year I got a small check from ASCAP for one of my songs appearing on TV in Latvia. I was so excited! If Andy Kaufman were still alive, I would have hunted him down to celebrate with me!

By the way, can I borrow $3 from you? (I don't want to take your last dollar!)

Big congratulations, my friend! Keep dreaming the impossible, and writing those wonderful encouraging, positive songs!

Steve

Thanks, Joanne. To be honest, though, my songs wouldn't have made it out of my front door without BIAB let alone Turkey!

All the best,
Noel

Thanks for listening Tangmo! I'm trying not to let being a multi-dollaraire go to my head smile

Appreciate the visit!

Noel,

Congratulations on the royalties! Great news!
I listened to this song for the first time.
It is a great song and performance.
Uplifting and positive.
It is exactly the usual Noel sound.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

'Noel96'...

It's easy for me understand why the folks at the Turkish T.V. station liked your song. The lyrics are affirmative, and you couldn't have chosen a more emblematic historical figure than Christopher Columbus to embody the song's upbeat call to the listeners to act on their dreams.

The music is cheery, hopeful, and danceable, even, which should make it appealing to children as well as adults. It makes the song fun to listen to.

May I ask in what context the song was used on the T.V. station?

COOL song - no shock it was picked up.


Ahhh Ray... 'cashed up'?... with our present exchange rate with the rest of the world, I'd better hang on to these four dollars for the moment. Hmmm... I wonder if I should frame APRA's statement and sit it in front of me as incentive smile

Seriously, though.... thank you for dropping in. I always appreciate your visits and I'm very thankful for your thoughts.

All the best,
Noel

So what do we think about it? How about what we said six years ago in the original post:

"To quote Janice "Great lyrics and reminds me of early Beatles." We just streamed it from phone to our living room sound system. Great sound all the way around. Will watch the video when we gravitate to the computer room, i.e., after more coffee. Another good one for sure!!"

Nice

J&B



Hi Janice and Bud,

You know, Janice is always too kind with her words but I really do like reading them. When I first read them a few years ago, I smiled and laughed. Today, I smiled again and laughed again. Thank you for that!

May good things come your way,
Noel

P.S. I have no idea why I wasn't ripped off but I'm really grateful that the TV station was honorable. It's been a long time since I experienced any excitement that equaled finding out about this smile

Yes, my sentiments exactly. I'm really happy to hear that they were able to collect on their royalties, especially considering the type of digital age we live in where most people just take what they want and don't ask any questions about who they might be negatively impacting by doing so when it comes to music.


Ember,

You work for the BEST company in the world smile I'm so glad that PG Music is part of my life. Band in a Box has opened doors all over the place.... even in Turkey it seems!

All the best,
Noel

Hey Will!

My goodness... I'd never even thought about a concert. Never having performed in public, though, I'd probably be a wreck and the one of two people that came along would be upset because they wouldn't get their money's worth. On reflection, Istanbul is better off without me smile

Thank you for visiting and giving me some good food for thought. It's always good to see you!

All the best,
Noel

Congratulations Noel. It's a really nice song and production. I see the $4 as very important. I'll wager a dollar to a doughnut you will think of this song when you're writing and recording your next song... It's true that $4 received can be more inspirational and rewarding than a $4,000 check that never comes... $4 is just a reflection of the achievement that your song was C-H-O-S-E-N above all others.

Noel,

It’s a terrific tune . . . deserves a lot more recognition than $4 can buy, but in this market let’s appreciate anything we can get for our efforts. Impressive write and performance . . . hoping you see a lot more zeros behind that $4.

My best regards to you,

Deej

Very well done!

Hi Hans,

Hey Misha!

It's always good to see you. Thank you! I love Turkish Delight.... yummmm! That would have certainly taken this little minor success to new heights. But, as it is, I'm more than happy with $4... I still laugh when I think about it! How amazing is this modern world!

All the best,
Noel

Hey Steve,

Thank you! I really appreciate your post. And of course you can borrow $3... just know that the exchange rate here is very poor right now so don't get your hopes up too high smile

Congratulations on the Latvian success! That's awesome and very, very well deserved!

All the best,
Noel

Hi Shigeki Adachi,

Thanks for having a listen. I appreciate it. Now if only I had a little more in royalties, I'd fly over to Japan and take some arranging lessons from you smile I've just been listening to "恋のレッスン" and your musical prowess is of the highest calibre!

Thanks again for listening,
Noel
