September 2018 meeting recap

Hey Songwriters,

The group’s first meeting at Hambone’s went extremely well. More than 25 members sat in a circle of chairs around a block of dinner tables. Not everyone performed, and several people who came for the open stage joined in the conversation, and we finished by the firm 9 p.m. deadline.

Much thanks are due to open stage host Chet Vincent (chet.vincent@gmail.com), Hambone’s manager Jeff, booker Jo and waitress Sheri.

Oct. 2 songwriting assignment: Write a crooked song (see pittsburghsongwriterscircle.org for details).

CD project

The deadline for submitting album credits was Aug. 24. If you have a song on the album and haven’t submitted your credits, or told me they might change, this is the last time I’m asking. In a week your song credits will be laid out without your input. The CDs graphics will be uploaded to the duping company.

Format:

“Song” by Bob Brown (ASCAP, BMI if applicable)

Bob Brown: vocal, guitar. Steve Smith: guitar, vocal. Michael Hickman: bass, drums.

Thanks, see you soon.
