Who were some of the other music business folks instrumental in TAXIs early success?
There is one that stands alone John Braheny. He was the co-founder and director of the Los Angeles Songwriters Showcase. He’s been my mentor since the very beginning, and the most honest man I’ve ever met. He was very instrumental in TAXI’s success. ASCAP vice president Ralph Murphy has been a mentor and supporter from the beginning, as well as Lenny Kalikow from New On The Charts. If I remember correctly, Craig Kallman was the first A&R person to use TAXI to find new material. He is now president of Atlantic Records.
