Texas Musicians Museum NEEDS YOUR HELP

I forward this from The Texas Musicians Museum without comment...if you're going to act, act quickly. --Ryan Michael Galloway

We were contacted by Stephen Williams of a HUGE issue of misrepresentation by the Texas Music Office to literally put museums like us OUT OF BUSINESS! Please read the letter Stephen forwarded to me and help us oppose this unfair bill that again takes care of Austin, but does nothing but hurt all of the other cities in Texas's heritage and music…

We are getting closer to the day of audition

Dear Readers,

You know I don't blog much, if at all. My reasoning, nothing is worth talking about, that has changed.

My hope is to convince everyone from the great efforts of some in the CCSA, we have secured a permanent spot. A place for the open mics under starry skies, plays  and concerts that you as members of the CCSA may be a part of, this is an exciting time for the events that will be available to its members.

Great seminar and cool songs.

Hi CCSA,

We had a good time tonight at the Song Circle, many excellent songs. I got some excellent input on a new song that I just wrote  called "Adding up Yesterdays. Thanks everyone for your feedback. If you haven't come to a circle and you are a songwriter, you miss something. Don't miss out next time, try it once, you'll be sold!  My thanks to Ryan Michael Galloway for his teaching. I learned some things tonight..

Advice on cheap drum stuff?!

I use Lonestar any time I'm buying new so I got that covered, except I can't buy everything new because cymbals are expensive!!

Does anyone know of anywhere to cheap cymbals other that Craigslist?!
