… to Adrienne O and Bob Mete – Their Song “Dancing Slow” Make TV Show Rosewood

From Adrienne O on Facebook, 4/24/17: A slow jazz song I wrote and recorded with Bob Mete several years ago, “Dancing Slow”, has just aired in Episode 15 of the TV series Rosewood, on Fox on March 30!

And last year, some jazz songs I wrote with Walter Grund got placed in a Japanese TV series. I didn’t even realize it until I saw money come from ASCAP!

This is SO cool. It sure inspires me to keep making time for songwriting!
