This Is Awesome
I am a song writing hobbyist and home studio performer living in Pataskala. As of late, i have been concocting a steady stream of new material and am interested in feedback. I am looking forward to meeting other song writers and performers in the area.
Great David! Looking forward to hearing your songs!
Is this Columbus, Ohio? I live in Logan, work in Canal Winchester and have played all over Ohio.
Sheri: Yes! Feel free to become a member. Or, come check it out and join us for a showcase sometime soon!
Sent in dues waiting on what to do next
what are the dues? I’ve been around for a long time(73 years young). I wrote my first song at the age of 14. Got lots of stuff. Have 12 copyrighted songs, but I’ve never ventured into having them produced. I would love to join your organization. Please send me a reply.
Hello…
I’ve been noticing CSA, but never really inquired about it. I primarily write/arrange traditional/contemporary gospel for for choir/small ensemble. Would there be a place for me? I know, dumb question, right? Anyway, let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
