FIND THE PERFECT GIFT FOR THE SONGWRITER IN YOUR LIFE!
All sorts of products and
services especially for songwriters, negotiated so that you get the best
price possible. You'll find means of promotion and distribution,
songwriting aids, educational products, musical instruments and their
accessories, and lots more. Any of these items would make a fantastic
present for a songwriter in your life (even if it's you! :-) ) Have a Look!
NEED A NEW WEB HOSTING SERVICE FOR YOURSELF OR YOUR BAND?
I personally use HostDime
- and LOVE them. Really. Their service is superb and prompt, they
really know what they're doing, you can chat with them 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, and their pricing (The Muse's Muse uses a dedicated
server) is very reasonable. Check them out!

I
hope those of you who celebrated a holiday at this time of the year had
a wonderful one! Any grand plans for the new year? If not, it's time to
get started on that. Goals are easier to attain when you have 'em. ;)
My
goal is to get started on the new design of The Muse's Muse - and it's
happening! It'll be several months from now before it's completed, but
I'm glad to say that encouraging work is being started. I'll keep you
all posted!
In other news, there's a new
reviewer on the website! This makes me very happy. :) It especially
makes me happy because you folks will already know Anastasia from having
read her book reviews previously here in The Muse's News. She's a
wonderful writer and a wonderful person to work with. Anastasia K is now listed as a reviewer at http://musesmuse.com/musicreviews.html
(how to submit music to her is on the main Music Reviews page) - and I
hope you'll consider sending her some stuff to have a listen to.
If you'd like to become a reviewer yourself and can commit to three new reviews a month, feel free to contact me!
And now, on to this month's raffle winners!
-
-
Mike Hamer, from Greenville, NC, has won a free 3 month membership to SongU,
an Internet-based learning environment providing online coaching,
co-writing and pitching opportunities, in addition to over 70
multi-level courses developed by award-winning songwriters.
DO YOU WANT TO WIN A RAFFLE PRIZE? You don't get if you don't ask!
If you'd like to be considered for a raffle prize yourself, have a look at the various prizes offered at the top of The Muse's News webpage, decide which prizes you'd most like, and email me with your top two choices along with your mailing address so that I can get the prizes to you.
Yes, it's really that simple. :) (And yes, the mailing address is kinda
important. I promise it won't be used for any other reason than to send
you your raffle prize - and to mention your approximate location in the notice of raffle winners you see above here.)
I wish you every success for 2016!
All the best,
--Jodi
