is proud to announce that this years Grand Prize Casio Privia Keyboard
is the new PX-S1000. This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a
real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same
features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7
pounds. The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back
panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two
1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18
different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos,
Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches,
organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split
these sounds.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1500880511479103247&useLegacyBlogger=true#" style="color: #009eb8; display: inline; margin: 0px 1em; outline: none; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="227" data-original-width="620" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdK0Y4fP2_dsD8IVSD3mYR9yvC6ATDJwC76FHKr154I1W3my8BV59I6hO6W2q5D-zJ_nhzyZjDJgU4rQSYbNjt3P1s6uaeBGmcBcsXKr6vJxVc8tX5mFM7n12mw8a9yMQFZWRK5FVDvxX/s320/screen-shot-2019-01-28-at-72248-am.jpg" style="border: 9px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: auto; margin: 10px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Every

He is credited for building extensive content for the DSA Youtube
channel . He is also the person that keeps track of the talent among
the members and fills the slots on out festival stages. Harry is also
the person behind all our virtual meetings and awards programs. He is
co-diretor of our contests and the cog that keeps DSA rolling. This will
be quite a treat, because he will share with us his extensive
experience with making reels, an important tool in social media
marketing.<br /></span></span></div><div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: left; widows: auto;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: small;"><span style="-moz-text-size-adjust: auto;

We found hundreds of millions of pieces of modified audio on these sites, representing millions in potential missed royalties for music rightsholders. After quantifying this issue, we dove deeper, launching a weekly modified audio newsletter and looking at modified audio across DSPs like Spotify. Almost one full year later, we’ve rerun the data to see how the amount of sped up, slowed down, or otherwise modified songs has changed online. Keep reading for the updated report to learn which platform now has the most modified audio. – by Larry Mills / Pex</div><div style="margin: 0px;"> </div><div style="margin: 0px;"></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><a href="http://report.mnb.email/t.js?s=65e7fb4cb78810365144bb60&u=50033555&v=3&key=056a&skey=88915c1af4&url=https%3A%2F%2Fmubu.guru%2FuiHT7">“Fair Use” is not a great business plan</a><br /><br />Lately, we’ve seen several headlines and comments from tech giants say that AI ventures simply cannot succeed if they are forced to contend with the copyrights in the billions of works they have scraped for the purpose of machine learning (ML). When these headlines are paired with the rampant assertions that ML is inherently fair use—a subject addressed in last Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee (SJC) hearing on AI and journalism—one has to wonder about the business decisions being made before generative AI exploded last year. – by David Newhoff / Illusion of More</div><div style="margin: 0px;"><br /> <span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>IN MEMORIAM</b> </span></span></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="font-size: small;">Name - Age - Date - Location of death - Cause of death </span><br /></span> <b><br />JAN 2024</b></div><div style="margin: 0px;"><h3><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Larry Collins<br />Country guitarist and singer-songwriter<br />79<br />January 5, 2024<br />Santa Clarita, California, U.S.<br />Undisclosed[4] <br /><br />Jo-El Sonnier<br />Country and Cajun singer-songwriter and musician<br />77<br />January 13, 2024<br />Austin, Texas, U.S.<br />Cardiac arrest[12] <br /><br />Melanie<br />Singer-songwriter<br />76<br />January 23, 2024<br />Nashville, Tennessee, U.S.<br />Undisclosed[17] <br /></span></span></span></h3><b></b><h3><div style="border-bottom-color: rgb(222, 222, 222); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(222, 222, 222); box-sizing: content-box; line-height: 1.25; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 24px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: inherit;"><div style="border-bottom-color: rgb(222, 222, 222); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(222, 222, 222); box-sizing: content-box; line-height: 1.25; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 24px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">FEB 2024</span></span><div style="border-bottom-color: rgb(222, 222, 222); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(222, 222, 222); box-sizing: content-box; line-height: 1.25; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 24px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Toby Keith<br />Country singer-songwriter<br />62<br />February 5, 2024<br />Stomach cancer[26] <br /><br />Henry Fambrough<br />The Spinners<br />85<br />February 7, 2024<br />Sterling, Virginia, U.S.<br />Natural causes[27] <br /><br />Mojo Nixon<br />Musician, actor, and DJ<br />66<br />February 7, 2024<br />On a cruise ship<br />Cardiac arrest[28] <br /><br />Randy Sparks<br />The New Christy Minstrels, The Back Porch Majority<br />90<br />February 11, 2024<br />San Diego, California, U.S.<br />Undisclosed[31] <br /><br />Kerry "Fatman" Hunter<br />New Orleans Nightcrawlers<br />53<br />February 13, 2024<br />New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.<br />Hit by a car[32] <br /><br />Etterlene DeBarge<br />Gospel singer<br />88<br />February 16, 2024<br />Woodland Hills, California, U.S.<br />Undisclosed[33] <br /> <br />W.

is proud to announce that this years Grand Prize Casio Privia Keyboard
is the new PX-S1000. This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a
real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same
features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7
pounds. The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back
panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two
1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18
different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos,
Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches,
organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split
these sounds.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1500880511479103247&useLegacyBlogger=true#" style="color: #009eb8; display: inline; margin: 0px 1em; outline: none; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="227" data-original-width="620" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdK0Y4fP2_dsD8IVSD3mYR9yvC6ATDJwC76FHKr154I1W3my8BV59I6hO6W2q5D-zJ_nhzyZjDJgU4rQSYbNjt3P1s6uaeBGmcBcsXKr6vJxVc8tX5mFM7n12mw8a9yMQFZWRK5FVDvxX/s320/screen-shot-2019-01-28-at-72248-am.jpg" style="border: 9px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: auto; margin: 10px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Every

His topics are always the most current and most interesting. Besides running the Broadjam.com platform for songwriters, he also spearheaded a Music Conference, Between The Waves in Madison, WI.

The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono).

The most streamed song of all time on Spotify right now is “Blinding Lights” by the four-time Grammy Award winner, The Weeknd. It is no coincidence that this song fits the playlist mold perfectly: it very clearly belongs to the pop genre, it is catchy yet simple, it is short, and it is monotonous and mellow. It’s digestible.

is proud to announce that this years Grand Prize Casio Privia Keyboard
is the new PX-S1000. This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a
real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same
features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7
pounds. The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back
panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two
1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18
different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos,
Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches,
organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split
these sounds.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1500880511479103247&useLegacyBlogger=true#" style="color: #009eb8; display: inline; margin: 0px 1em; outline: none; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="227" data-original-width="620" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdK0Y4fP2_dsD8IVSD3mYR9yvC6ATDJwC76FHKr154I1W3my8BV59I6hO6W2q5D-zJ_nhzyZjDJgU4rQSYbNjt3P1s6uaeBGmcBcsXKr6vJxVc8tX5mFM7n12mw8a9yMQFZWRK5FVDvxX/s320/screen-shot-2019-01-28-at-72248-am.jpg" style="border: 9px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: auto; margin: 10px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Every

is proud to announce that this years Grand Prize Casio Privia Keyboard
is the new PX-S1000. This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a
real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same
features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7
pounds. The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back
panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two
1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18
different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos,
Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches,
organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split
these sounds.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1500880511479103247&useLegacyBlogger=true#" style="color: #009eb8; display: inline; margin: 0px 1em; outline: none; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="227" data-original-width="620" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdK0Y4fP2_dsD8IVSD3mYR9yvC6ATDJwC76FHKr154I1W3my8BV59I6hO6W2q5D-zJ_nhzyZjDJgU4rQSYbNjt3P1s6uaeBGmcBcsXKr6vJxVc8tX5mFM7n12mw8a9yMQFZWRK5FVDvxX/s320/screen-shot-2019-01-28-at-72248-am.jpg" style="border: 9px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: auto; margin: 10px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Every

They've written songs performed by some of the industry's big names (Trace Adkins, Garth Brooks, Chris Stapleton, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton, Daughtry, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, etc..). Three participants (drawn from a hat) will get a one-on-one session with one of the instructors. Pretty cool opportunity! The masterclass is part of the <b>Dancing Turtle Interactive Celebration of the Arts</b> which is a first-time event that should be a lot of fun! Lots of music workshops along with dance, theater, film, visual arts, and industrial arts.

The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono).

You can also layer and split these sounds.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1500880511479103247&useLegacyBlogger=true#" style="color: #009eb8; display: inline; margin: 0px 1em; outline: none; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="227" data-original-width="620" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdK0Y4fP2_dsD8IVSD3mYR9yvC6ATDJwC76FHKr154I1W3my8BV59I6hO6W2q5D-zJ_nhzyZjDJgU4rQSYbNjt3P1s6uaeBGmcBcsXKr6vJxVc8tX5mFM7n12mw8a9yMQFZWRK5FVDvxX/s320/screen-shot-2019-01-28-at-72248-am.jpg" style="border: 9px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: auto; margin: 10px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Every working pianist in a metropolitan area where space and portability are paramount should try Casio's Privia PX-S1000 for themselves.

Don is DSA member and former board member who moved from Dallas to Nashville about a year ago to be in the center of the songwriting world. He has gotten involved with the songwriter scene there and has met lots of folks that I'm sure have helped him in his songwriting journey.

The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono).

guest speaker! Jamey is a singer/songwriter, guitarist, music teacher, educator and choral director based in Mississippi. His topic will be "Chord Theory for the Songwriter", which I'm sure will be very informative and entertaining!</p><p style="font-family: Times; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 19px;"><br /></p>Also, be sure to get in your songs to be critiqued by industry pros Barbe McMillan and Joe Milton and considered for the 2023 Member Song Contest and Songwriter of the Year. Please Note: You must go to the Dallas Songwriters website (see link below) to enter your song, or you can play them live. When you go to the website look for "Forms" on the upper right-hand corner of the page then point to "Song Critiques" and the form will show up. You can type in the lyrics or cut & paste. For the song audio go to "Choose File" and load your audio file(s). You can pay online via the critique form, and the cost is $10 per song.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://dallassongwriters.org/song-critique/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration: none;">https://dallassongwriters.org/song-critique/</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /><a href="http://www.dallassongwriters.org/" style="color: #888888; text-decoration: none;">https://www.dallassongwriters.org</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0.75em 0px 0px; position: relative;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></h3>If you have a problem with this link, you can pay on square and show lyric and play audio on your computer.

The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono).

The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono).

Thanks to Michael Brandenberger and Harry Hewlett for booking DSA members and thanks to Ian Dickson for managing the stage. Ian was a WF contest winner a while back and has been involved with the Wildflower Festival since. He's been the DSA liaison all these years and thanks to his dedication DSA has had great performance opportunities each year. Harry also gave us a number of years of hard work and dedication with WF and Deep Ellum before he recently stepped down due to health. DSA really appreciates the dedication of time and expertise from both Harry and Ian. Thank you for helping us to shine at our spring festivals! <p></p><p></p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC4uWZHR5ZrDFy0xsgBPYYsLv4IuzwhuKIeYGcM1Wr1v_j3jp-Zf8RsRSxzA4jKryM_6KIL6EYhJ6TSQjerWbupL8BCS-UPoolk1nJX8smpwryWYu5exUmlmRlT1MA6fKMpR0LYVcJKrY0BERaGGLpZAIIr0lE1cRcwwnk_s4TS4ecQJeqIBqVA_E3Rw/s354/Tim-York.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="354" data-original-width="245" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC4uWZHR5ZrDFy0xsgBPYYsLv4IuzwhuKIeYGcM1Wr1v_j3jp-Zf8RsRSxzA4jKryM_6KIL6EYhJ6TSQjerWbupL8BCS-UPoolk1nJX8smpwryWYu5exUmlmRlT1MA6fKMpR0LYVcJKrY0BERaGGLpZAIIr0lE1cRcwwnk_s4TS4ecQJeqIBqVA_E3Rw/w138-h200/Tim-York.jpg" width="138" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Tim York</td></tr></tbody></table><b>Tim York won the BW Stevenson Song Contest at Poor Davids Pub</b> on June 29th this year. Your's truly was a judge again this year. There was a lot of talent on that stage. The semifinalist were Ronnie Duwe, John Jaggers, Rick Babb, Baylis Laramore, Travis Smith, along with Tim. Half of which are or have been DSA members. My fellow judges were Tom Faulkner and Julie Jean White. Yup, both have been DSA members in the past. Julie Jean is having a CD release party at Poor Davids on July 15, so come on out to see her. She is permanently living in Nashville now.<p></p><p>July brings <b>Eric Ramsey </b>as our meeting guest speaker on July 7 (see below for details). He's the DSA 2021 Song Contest 1st runner up for Grand Prize with his song "Gone, Gone, Gone". He was also runner up for Song of the Year with his song, "That's The Kind of Love I'm Talking About". He's won a lot of other awards and is an incredible performer too. You may have seen him on some of the DSA virtual events.

The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono).

This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7 pounds. The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18 different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos, Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches, organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split these sounds.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1500880511479103247&useLegacyBlogger=true#" style="color: #009eb8; display: inline; margin: 0px 1em; outline: currentcolor none medium; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="227" data-original-width="620" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdK0Y4fP2_dsD8IVSD3mYR9yvC6ATDJwC76FHKr154I1W3my8BV59I6hO6W2q5D-zJ_nhzyZjDJgU4rQSYbNjt3P1s6uaeBGmcBcsXKr6vJxVc8tX5mFM7n12mw8a9yMQFZWRK5FVDvxX/s320/screen-shot-2019-01-28-at-72248-am.jpg" style="border: 9px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: auto; margin: 10px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Every working pianist in a metropolitan area where space and portability are paramount should try Casio's Privia PX-S1000 for themselves.

He holds degrees from Mississippi State University, Southwestern Seminary and The University of Southern Mississippi. As a professor of music at Mississippi Delta Community College, Jamey teaches voice, guitar, bass, commercial music theory, and songwriting. </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: small;">Jamey is a singer, songwriter and teacher. His musical style is a kind of country/blues/old rock feel, if you can imagine that. He writes songs that are personal, some songs that are just goofy and fun, and some that are about character and just doing what's right. </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet; font-size: small;"><br /><br /></span></span><p style="color: #222222;

Williams, Gary Nicholson, Delbert McClinton, the Nightcaps, Larry

aspiring musicians to celebrate our legends with their performances of
songs made famous by our inductees. We reached out to the local music
schools and asked for auditions at each school for the honor to perform.
The show is also archived on our Youtube channel.</p> For more information about our program and inductees, go to the Hall of Fame website: <a href="https://dallassongwritershalloffame.blogspot.com">https://dallassongwritershalloffame.blogspot.com</a></span></span></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: "gurmukhi mt"; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.22em; margin: 0px;"><b> <span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Donate to Hall of Fame</span></b></div><p style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #000099; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">https://dallas-songwriters-association.square.site/product/donate-to-dallas-songwriters-hall-of-fame/27?cs=true&cst=custom</span></p><div><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; text-decoration: none;"><b><i>Past programs can be viewed on our Youtube Channel - </i></b></span><a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2QmQKUl70-3Y_SmChiZRqM9rmPfrLWbL" style="color: #7d181e; font-family: MonotypeGurmukhi; font-size: 14px; text-decoration: none;">https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2QmQKUl70-3Y_SmChiZRqM9rmPfrLWbL</a></span></div></span></span></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><b>DSA YOUTUBE CHANNEL - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE</b></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <b>2020 <span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Community Awards went to Dunn Brothers Coffee and Broadjam, Inc.</span></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <a href="https://dsasongcontest.blogspot.com/p/dsa-community-awards.html">https://dsasongcontest.blogspot.com/p/dsa-community-awards.html</a></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div data="color: #888888; font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #888888; font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.22em; text-align: left;"><div style="line-height: 1.22em; margin: 0px;"><fon data="font-kerning: none;" style="line-height: 1.22em;" t=""></fon></div></div></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;"> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Wanna join us online for our events via Zoom?

is proud to announce that this years Grand Prize Casio Privia Keyboard
is the new PX-S1000. This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a
real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same
features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7
pounds. The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back
panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two
1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18
different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos,
Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches,
organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split
these sounds.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1500880511479103247&useLegacyBlogger=true#" style="color: #009eb8; display: inline; margin: 0px 1em; outline: currentcolor none medium; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="227" data-original-width="620" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdK0Y4fP2_dsD8IVSD3mYR9yvC6ATDJwC76FHKr154I1W3my8BV59I6hO6W2q5D-zJ_nhzyZjDJgU4rQSYbNjt3P1s6uaeBGmcBcsXKr6vJxVc8tX5mFM7n12mw8a9yMQFZWRK5FVDvxX/s320/screen-shot-2019-01-28-at-72248-am.jpg" style="border: 9px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: auto; margin: 10px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Every

the past 20+ years, he worked as a professional songwriter and written
music for award winning musicals, TV shows, other artists and his own
singer-songwriter career. His songs have been performed by artists in
Iceland and abroad, and he has gained a reputation as a prolific writer
of memorable songs. Karlsson says, "Songwriting is a passion of mine,
and when I'm not writing songs I love to talk shop with other
songwriters."<br /><br />Karlsson's mission is to help songwriters around
the world to stop relying on "inspiration" and other myths, and empower
them to create fantastic songs on-demand, making a living doing what
they love. That's how he is making the world a better place - one song
at a time.

The DSA's initiative is to encourage young aspiring musicians to celebrate our legends with their performances of songs made famous by our inductees. We reached out to the local music schools and asked for auditions at each school for the honor to perform. The show is also archived on our Youtube channel.</p> For more information about our program and inductees, go to the Hall of Fame website: <a href="https://dallassongwritershalloffame.blogspot.com">https://dallassongwritershalloffame.blogspot.com</a></span></span></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: "gurmukhi mt"; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.22em; margin: 0px;"><b> <span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Donate to Hall of Fame</span></b></div><p style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #000099; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">https://dallas-songwriters-association.square.site/product/donate-to-dallas-songwriters-hall-of-fame/27?cs=true&cst=custom</span></p><div><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet; text-decoration: none;"><b><i>Past programs can be viewed on our Youtube Channel - </i></b></span><a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2QmQKUl70-3Y_SmChiZRqM9rmPfrLWbL" style="color: #7d181e; font-family: MonotypeGurmukhi; font-size: 14px; text-decoration: none;">https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2QmQKUl70-3Y_SmChiZRqM9rmPfrLWbL</a></span></div></span></span></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><b>DSA YOUTUBE CHANNEL - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE</b></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <b>2020 <span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Community Awards went to Dunn Brothers Coffee and Broadjam, Inc.</span></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <a href="https://dsasongcontest.blogspot.com/p/dsa-community-awards.html">https://dsasongcontest.blogspot.com/p/dsa-community-awards.html</a></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div data="color: #888888; font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #888888; font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.22em; text-align: left;"><div style="line-height: 1.22em; margin: 0px;"><fon data="font-kerning: none;" style="line-height: 1.22em;" t=""></fon></div></div></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;"> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Wanna join us online for our events via Zoom?

The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono).

We were so lucky to have John Ford Coley join is from Nashville and perform his hits. It was truly a wonderful experience. He is such a great guy. Gregg A Smith also joined us to perform and accept his award. There were over 20 performers covering songs by our inductees. I hope you will take some time to watch it on our Youtube Channel and please subscribe.</p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Six years ago we began to honor famous singer/songwriters with roots in the Dallas/Fort Worth area through an induction into the Dallas Songwriters Association Hall of Fame. In the previous years we have honored legends such as T-Bone Walker, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Freddie King, Trini Lopez, Sam Samudo (Sam the Sham), Cindy Walker, Gus Levine, Al Johnson, Bruce Channel, Jerry Lynn Williams, Gary Nicholson, Delbert McClinton, the Nightcaps, Larry Henley, Steve Miller, Boz Scaggs, Stephen Stills, and Rod Phelps.</p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">This years honorees included England Dan Seals and John Ford Coley, Janie Fricke, Steve Weinberg, John Denver, and Gregg A Smith. The DSA's initiative this year was to encourage young aspiring musicians to celebrate our legends with their performances of songs made famous by our inductees. We reached out to the local music schools and asked for auditions at each school for the honor to perform. The show is also archived on our Youtube channel.</p> For more information about our program and inductees, go to the Hall of Fame website: <a href="https://dallassongwritershalloffame.blogspot.com">https://dallassongwritershalloffame.blogspot.com</a></span></span></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: "gurmukhi mt"; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.22em; margin: 0px;"><b> <span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Donate to Hall of Fame</span></b></div><p style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #000099; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">https://dallas-songwriters-association.square.site/product/donate-to-dallas-songwriters-hall-of-fame/27?cs=true&cst=custom</span></p><div><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div></span></span></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><b>NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE</b></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <b>2020 <span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Community Awards went to Dunn Brothers Coffee and Broadjam, Inc.</span></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <a href="https://dsasongcontest.blogspot.com/p/dsa-community-awards.html">https://dsasongcontest.blogspot.com/p/dsa-community-awards.html</a></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div data="color: #888888; font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #888888; font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.22em; text-align: left;"><div style="line-height: 1.22em; margin: 0px;"><fon data="font-kerning: none;" style="line-height: 1.22em;" t=""></fon></div></div></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;"> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Wanna join us online for our events via Zoom?

The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono).

We have picked a famous Beatle song that we will use to re-write words and changes in the melody and style in order to come up with a brand-new song! "Can't Buy Me Love" is basically a chorus/verse structure that will be easy and fun to work with, so be thinking about possible hooks and melodies. Here is the song. </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srwxJUXPHvE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srwxJUXPHvE</a></p></div></div></div></div><div><div style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 16px;"><div style="color: #0069d9; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;">Critiques will follow:</b></div><div><div><div style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="background-color: white;">As usual, for members we will also have song critiques by industry pros Barbe McMillen and Joe Milton.

What great time we had, seeing our old friends and making new ones. That festival is still the best entertainment value in town. <span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Even though the Dallas Guitar Show wasn't as populated as in years past, we still managed a successful outreached. At our booth we handed out the Spring 2021 Songwriters Notes Issue which contained a list of our contest winners for the past couple of years.

Excellent Italian food! DSA Songwriters Round takes the stage there on the 3rd Friday every month and is streamed live to Facebook. Rickey Gene Wright is the host of that Songwriters in the Round format. Performing last month were: Ian Dickson, Rickey Gene and Rio King. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances we did not get a stream for that night. Yes, a good reason to come out in person. There were quite a few of us there.</div></span></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><span></span><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><p><b>SPECIAL EVENTS - Quick look events page: </b><a href="https://dallassongwriters.blogspot.com">https://dallassongwriters.blogspot.com</a></p><p>A bunch of us are going to the coast next month deep sea fishing.

We were so lucky to have John Ford Coley join is from Nashville and perform his hits. It was truly a wonderful experience. He is such a great guy. Gregg A Smith also joined us to perform and accept his award. There were over 20 performers covering songs by our inductees. I hope you will take some time to watch it on our Youtube Channel and please subscribe.</p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Six years ago we began to honor famous singer/songwriters with roots in the Dallas/Fort Worth area through an induction into the Dallas Songwriters Association Hall of Fame. In the previous years we have honored legends such as T-Bone Walker, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Freddie King, Trini Lopez, Sam Samudo (Sam the Sham), Cindy Walker, Gus Levine, Al Johnson, Bruce Channel, Jerry Lynn Williams, Gary Nicholson, Delbert McClinton, the Nightcaps, Larry Henley, Steve Miller, Boz Scaggs, Stephen Stills, and Rod Phelps.</p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">This years honorees included England Dan Seals and John Ford Coley, Janie Fricke, Steve Weinberg, John Denver, and Gregg A Smith. The DSA's initiative this year was to encourage young aspiring musicians to celebrate our legends with their performances of songs made famous by our inductees. We reached out to the local music schools and asked for auditions at each school for the honor to perform. The show is also archived on our Youtube channel.</p> For more information about our program and inductees, go to the Hall of Fame website: <a href="https://dallassongwritershalloffame.blogspot.com">https://dallassongwritershalloffame.blogspot.com</a></span></span></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: "gurmukhi mt"; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.22em; margin: 0px;"><b> <span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Donate to Hall of Fame</span></b></div><p style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #000099; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">https://dallas-songwriters-association.square.site/product/donate-to-dallas-songwriters-hall-of-fame/27?cs=true&cst=custom</span></p><div><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div></span></span></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><b>NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE</b></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <b>2020 <span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Community Awards went to Dunn Brothers Coffee and Broadjam, Inc.</span></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <a href="https://dsasongcontest.blogspot.com/p/dsa-community-awards.html">https://dsasongcontest.blogspot.com/p/dsa-community-awards.html</a></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div data="color: #888888; font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #888888; font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.22em; text-align: left;"><div style="line-height: 1.22em; margin: 0px;"><fon data="font-kerning: none;" style="line-height: 1.22em;" t=""></fon></div></div></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;"> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Wanna join us online for our events via Zoom?

The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono).

<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">By Aaron Trumm (Flypaper)</p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">In the music business, there are thousands upon thousands of gatekeepers, promotional outlets, and other “opportunities” out there where you can submit your tracks. Since promoting your newly released music is largely about submitting and submitting and submitting again, you simply can’t ignore this aspect of the business. That said, there is no way you can realistically submit to everything — nor would you even want to — so you need to pick and choose. Here’s a definitive guide to what things you’ll need to consider when evaluating whether to submit to a particular opportunity or company.</p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://info.ascap.com/e/641433/-to-professional-musician-html/28xq3q/442361435?h=ctZOd3zK1Nc6I0XaA1Nyfl-y9VvJRT5Tjs7rHkohy6w">Making The Transition From Hobbyist To Professional Musician </a></p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">By Sam Bowman (Music Think Tank)</p><p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">As of 2019, over 1,500 full-time musicians were working in the U.S. The key word there is “working.” Being a professional musician is, indeed, a job. Some people take different routes to get there. But, we can probably all agree that there’s a big difference between touring the country to play nightly gigs and having jam sessions in your best friend’s garage.</p></h3><h3><div style="color: #800280; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><b>MUSIC BUSINESS</b></span></div><div style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><p style="color: #800280; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://info.ascap.com/e/641433/021-05-informational-band-bio-/29cxw4/444118491?h=HK7CJQ9vOe3GCRvhqQHK8roEc4FMB51nPqYMNF0YjOc">9 Tips For Writing an Informational Band Bio</a></p>

<p style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Guitarists are in a unique situation — they play an instrument that comes in two wildly different and distinct flavors. When it comes to audio engineering, the treatment of acoustic guitars is at times a night and day difference from that of an electric guitar played through an amp, let alone all the various types of acoustic body shapes and string types.</p><p style="color: #800280; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p></span></div><div style="color: #800280; font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">PERFORMANCE</div><div style="font-family: "trebuchet ms"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><p style="color: #800280; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><a href="https://info.ascap.com/e/641433/-to-self-eq-with-their-vocals-/2blvw8/446765453?h=rHdP0F0PV75KYcJ5IHhjHkG4WDU_BBrZy7ZnSMOHkfc">Why Singers Need to Learn to “Self-EQ” With Their Vocals</a></p>

We were so lucky to have John Ford Coley join is from Nashville and perform his hits. It was truly a wonderful experience. He is such a great guy. Gregg A Smith also joined us to perform and accept his award. There were over 20 performers covering songs by our inductees. I hope you will take some time to watch it on our Youtube Channel and please subscribe.</p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Six years ago we began to honor famous singer/songwriters with roots in the Dallas/Fort Worth area through an induction into the Dallas Songwriters Association Hall of Fame. In the previous years we have honored legends such as T-Bone Walker, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Freddie King, Trini Lopez, Sam Samudo (Sam the Sham), Cindy Walker, Gus Levine, Al Johnson, Bruce Channel, Jerry Lynn Williams, Gary Nicholson, Delbert McClinton, the Nightcaps, Larry Henley, Steve Miller, Boz Scaggs, Stephen Stills, and Rod Phelps.</p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">This years honorees included England Dan Seals and John Ford Coley, Janie Fricke, Steve Weinberg, John Denver, and Gregg A Smith. The DSA's initiative this year was to encourage young aspiring musicians to celebrate our legends with their performances of songs made famous by our inductees. We reached out to the local music schools and asked for auditions at each school for the honor to perform. The show is also archived on our Youtube channel.</p> For more information about our program and inductees, go to the Hall of Fame website: <a href="https://dallassongwritershalloffame.blogspot.com">https://dallassongwritershalloffame.blogspot.com</a></span></span></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: "gurmukhi mt"; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.22em; margin: 0px;"><b> <span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Donate to Hall of Fame</span></b></div><p style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #000099; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">https://dallas-songwriters-association.square.site/product/donate-to-dallas-songwriters-hall-of-fame/27?cs=true&cst=custom</span></p><div><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></div></span></span></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"><b>NEW YOUTUBE CHANNEL - PLEASE SUBSCRIBE</b></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <b>2020 <span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">Community Awards went to Dunn Brothers Coffee and Broadjam, Inc.</span></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <a href="https://dsasongcontest.blogspot.com/p/dsa-community-awards.html">https://dsasongcontest.blogspot.com/p/dsa-community-awards.html</a></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div data="color: #888888; font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #888888; font-family: verdana; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.22em; text-align: left;"><div style="line-height: 1.22em; margin: 0px;"><fon data="font-kerning: none;" style="line-height: 1.22em;" t=""></fon></div></div></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: left;"> <span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Wanna join us online for our events via Zoom?

This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7 pounds. The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18 different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos, Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches, organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split these sounds.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1500880511479103247&useLegacyBlogger=true#" style="color: #009eb8; display: inline; margin: 0px 1em; outline: currentcolor none medium; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="227" data-original-width="620" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdK0Y4fP2_dsD8IVSD3mYR9yvC6ATDJwC76FHKr154I1W3my8BV59I6hO6W2q5D-zJ_nhzyZjDJgU4rQSYbNjt3P1s6uaeBGmcBcsXKr6vJxVc8tX5mFM7n12mw8a9yMQFZWRK5FVDvxX/s320/screen-shot-2019-01-28-at-72248-am.jpg" style="border: 9px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: auto; margin: 10px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Every working pianist in a metropolitan area where space and portability are paramount should try Casio's Privia PX-S1000 for themselves.

A lot of us have had our second vaccination. Stepping out! We had a good turn out at the Love and War open mic last Thursday. We've been having the Bring Your Own Mic Open Mic on the 4th Thursday since last June, and streaming live to facebook. Thank goodness for that! Zoom and Facebook has a helped us keep our sanity through the lost COVID year of 2020. But last Thursday, we all ventured out to listen in person and eat at a restaurant, yum! It was the best crowd we've had there in a year. It was so much fun to see everyone and get a big hug. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="349" data-original-width="643" height="109" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHd44DwpkNIGfzpdPLH_ZKQajj8o-DHniAqfD2tpxhAjc_tfRm0bKP2zEKSm0M5Lq2mGRa03yCBC-Tbb5ztCNfo4gLNrzbj6pnsBqaiWh0btBegAnEuWJ53N1ScBshNzgPK8kGqitgwMtp/w200-h109/Porta-Di-Roma-round.png" title="Wayne Willingham, Rickey Gene and Don Wall" width="200" /></div>We'll all be testing the pizza this month at the Porta Di Roma on the 3rd Thursday when the DSA Songwriters Round takes the stage.

This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7 pounds. The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18 different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos, Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches, organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split these sounds.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1500880511479103247&useLegacyBlogger=true#" style="color: #009eb8; display: inline; margin: 0px 1em; outline: currentcolor none medium; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="227" data-original-width="620" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdK0Y4fP2_dsD8IVSD3mYR9yvC6ATDJwC76FHKr154I1W3my8BV59I6hO6W2q5D-zJ_nhzyZjDJgU4rQSYbNjt3P1s6uaeBGmcBcsXKr6vJxVc8tX5mFM7n12mw8a9yMQFZWRK5FVDvxX/s320/screen-shot-2019-01-28-at-72248-am.jpg" style="border: 9px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: auto; margin: 10px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Every working pianist in a metropolitan area where space and portability are paramount should try Casio's Privia PX-S1000 for themselves.

Bradley was a fierce advocate for music creators. Under her leadership, ASCAP signed and supported the careers of Dierks Bentley, Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney, Rodney Crowell, Billy Currington, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire, Brad Paisley, Kellie Pickler, Rascal Flatts, John Rich, George Strait, Sugarland, Wynonna and Chris Young, among many more. For many years, Bradley was among an elite group of dedicated professionals whose talent and vision helped to shape the Nashville music community into the creative force it is today.</span></p></span></div></div></h3><h3><div style="color: #800280; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><b> VIDEO</b></span></div><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;"><div style="font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><div style="color: #030303; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; background-color: #f9f9f9; font-kerning: none;">The Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down to Georgia</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBjPAqmnvGA">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBjPAqmnvGA</a></div></div></div><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: 9px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 10px;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="color: #800280; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><b> BOOK REVIEW -</b></span><span style="color: #800280;"><b> </b></span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><i>looking for book reviews</i></span></div><div style="font-size: 13px; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;">We have a book review by Allan Larson of the Terry Jennings book about his father Waylon Jennings.

Folks went for long periods without power and are now dealing with busted water pipes and no access to clean drinking water. Just one you think it can't get any worse to have to stay at home, then we were in our homes freezing. Our DSA Director of Showcases, Harry Hewlett has managed to carry on through it all, facilitating our educational and performance opportunities. We are thankful for our songwriting community. Thanks to all of you who have reached out and asked about our well being. We are fine and so grateful for what we have. As Joni Mitchell once sang, " You don't know what you got til it's gone".</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibHpBjxfQbFvgMDAb2iV2I1ODOLjvTIdj9GbLFm-z3lshrpTHLZCGvROo7gZzuxBf7ypfMWgWDVgD7YhAd81Xy47vvOmDzQ2knN2UeZRRHLMnaUH9WJTuPJ9LChcAgZwoLtO97eeoARq5V/s283/irish.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="206" data-original-width="283" height="146" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibHpBjxfQbFvgMDAb2iV2I1ODOLjvTIdj9GbLFm-z3lshrpTHLZCGvROo7gZzuxBf7ypfMWgWDVgD7YhAd81Xy47vvOmDzQ2knN2UeZRRHLMnaUH9WJTuPJ9LChcAgZwoLtO97eeoARq5V/w200-h146/irish.png" width="200" /></a></div></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><p><span style="color: #38761d; font-family: georgia;"><i>Happy St Patty's Day.</i></span></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>SPECIAL EVENTS</b></p></div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif"> </span><i style="font-family: trebuchet;"><b><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">DSA Hall of Fame - </span></b></i><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><b><i> April 17, 2021 Virtual </i></b></span></div><div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1500880511479103247&useLegacyBlogger=true#" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><img border="0" data-original-height="154" data-original-width="120" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzJM6fmw6cs3OlT5mwaCGnJ3Er1jdu50G6YrNckk38Kx6XQ3tmS7670sORmoKni-av-I8IIz5ZhZm73aO38NDlAyxF4TW_GNZ_-U9G4-yiDys5zeEuCY9qKQpHq6mBw-0UIgJApgLiEURo/s1600/220px-John_Denver_1974.jpg" /></span></a><span style="font-family: trebuchet;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-kerning: none;"><span face=""trebuchet ms" , sans-serif">Our annual DSA Hall of Fame Event, which honors outstanding songwriters with North Texas ties, was postponed last year, however this year we've decided to carry on our program virtually via zoom.

This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7 pounds. The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18 different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos, Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches, organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split these sounds.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1500880511479103247&useLegacyBlogger=true#" style="color: #009eb8; display: inline; margin: 0px 1em; outline: currentcolor none medium; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="227" data-original-width="620" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdK0Y4fP2_dsD8IVSD3mYR9yvC6ATDJwC76FHKr154I1W3my8BV59I6hO6W2q5D-zJ_nhzyZjDJgU4rQSYbNjt3P1s6uaeBGmcBcsXKr6vJxVc8tX5mFM7n12mw8a9yMQFZWRK5FVDvxX/s320/screen-shot-2019-01-28-at-72248-am.jpg" style="border: 9px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: auto; margin: 10px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Every working pianist in a metropolitan area where space and portability are paramount should try Casio's Privia PX-S1000 for themselves.

I want to thank all of you for creating and playing your songs with us on Zoom for our Celebration of Song 2020 Song Contest Awards. You were wonderful! Your songs have been a light in the darkness of alone, lifting our spirits and connecting us like virtual hugs. Also, thanks go out to our friends and family for being a part of our Facebook community. We are thankful for our songwriting community and the DSA Director of Showcases, Harry Hewlett for facilitating our educational and performance opportunities. </div><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on">A few changes this month: We've cancelled the Monday Meetup due to lack of participation. We may start it up again when we can go back to Half Price Books. We'll see. Also, we will hold our Hall of Fame virtual this year instead of skipping it. Harry says we can do it!

DSA is celebrating our wonderful 20 year partnership with Broadjam. They have been instrumental in supporting our song contest as a sponsor and online submissions partner. We are so very grateful for their partnership and the way that Roy cares about our members and the help that he have given us throughout the years including the educational programs he has provided. We are so glad that our then president, Sherrie Davis, found him back in 1999. We are so thankful for Roy and Broadjam. Here how the certificate reads.</span></div>

This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7 pounds. The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18 different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos, Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches, organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split these sounds.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1500880511479103247&useLegacyBlogger=true#" style="color: #009eb8; display: inline; margin: 0px 1em; outline: currentcolor none medium; text-decoration: none;"><img border="0" data-original-height="227" data-original-width="620" height="116" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdK0Y4fP2_dsD8IVSD3mYR9yvC6ATDJwC76FHKr154I1W3my8BV59I6hO6W2q5D-zJ_nhzyZjDJgU4rQSYbNjt3P1s6uaeBGmcBcsXKr6vJxVc8tX5mFM7n12mw8a9yMQFZWRK5FVDvxX/s320/screen-shot-2019-01-28-at-72248-am.jpg" style="border: 9px none; box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; height: auto; margin: 10px auto; max-width: 100%; padding: 8px; position: relative;" width="320" /></a></span></div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 17px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; outline: currentcolor none medium; padding: 0px;"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Every working pianist in a metropolitan area where space and portability are paramount should try Casio's Privia PX-S1000 for themselves.

<span style="color: black;">DSA
is proud to announce that this years Grand Prize Casio Privia Keyboard
is the new PX-S1000. This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a
real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same
features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7
pounds. The </span><span style="background-color: white;">back
panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two
1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18
different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos,
Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches,
organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split
these sounds.</span></div>

<span data-original-attrs="{"style":"-webkit-font-kerning: none;"}" style="color: black;">DSA is proud to announce that this years Grand Prize Casio Privia Keyboard is the new PX-S1000. This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7 pounds. The </span><span data-original-attrs="{"style":"-webkit-font-kerning: none;"}" style="background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18 different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos, Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches, organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split these sounds.</span></div>

But the show must go, on so we are having a Zoom Party on Saturday afternoon August 8 from 2:00 to 5:00 pm! This will be a chance for everyone to jump in from anywhere in the world and play their favorite songs, originals, covers or requests, tell jokes, tell new/old stories, wear funny hats and have some virtual fun! Since it's a party everyone can be munching or sipping on their favorite libation and share recipes of what they are enjoying. </span></span></div>

Making great music often requires uninhibited self expression. As musicians, we create some of our best work by removing filters on our thoughts and actions. If we come up with ideas that don’t fit the larger context of our work, we easily discard them later. But when it comes to the things we talk about on stage, that same unchecked expressiveness many of us use to write, record, and produce music could end up alienating our audiences and potentially damaging our careers in more serious ways.</div>

Across ubiquitous video conferencing tools like Zoom, FaceTime and Skype, it takes time for audio data to travel from person to person. That small delay, called latency, is mostly tolerable in conversation — save for a few overlapping stutters — but when it comes to playing music online with any kind of rhythmic integrity, latency quickly becomes a total deal breaker.</div>

It’s easy to daydream about doing nothing but mixing music all day every day. You want to spend as much time as possible doing what you love most right? Mixing all the time is awesome, but there are some unexpected realities when it’s your main activity. Here’s my hard truth for today — mixing is solitary work that can feel pretty lonely at times. That may sound discouraging, but my flip side to this hard truth is that seeking out alone time is an important strategy for good mental health. Mixing is one of the most productive, satisfying, and refreshing activities to do during that time.</div>

Recording an album or EP is an expensive undertaking. To add to whatever pressure that creates in you, the songs you decide to include can make or break the success of the project. It’s a very important decision that can’t only be based on emotions, attachments, and preferences—some facts and data must be taken into account.</div>

Green was known for his blues guitar sound even prior to the forming of Fleetwood Mac. He replaced Eric Clapton in John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers in 1965. Just a couple years later in 1967, Green and fellow Bluesbreakers members, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie, formed Fleetwood Mac, along with guitarist Jeremy Spencer.</div>

It takes more songwriters and more producers now than 20 years ago to make a hit. In the heyday of the album, the focus would be both on what makes a great album and what tracks would work on radio, and later MTV. Now all the considerations are rolled into the song itself, the central currency of the streaming era.</div>

Songwriting is a skill that can be improved. Like any other skill, there are techniques to learn, skills to develop, talents to hone. Because songwriting is so personal, people tend to be unwilling to accept the idea of ‘practicing’ songwriting or working on your chops. This is holding you back. In 2020, I urge you to pick one of these songwriting books and read it.</div>

Creativity should not equate to chaos in practice. A well-organized plan of execution is crucial for any creative project, as well as allowing oneself the freedom to brainstorm openly. Let’s learn a bit more about what to consider when designing such a workflow—unique to your own preferences, skills, and goals.</div>

Are your songs starting to sound the same? If you’d like to develop your creative work, it helps to get to a place of excitement and danger again. One way to do this is to oppose, modify, or destroy previous habits or strategies, or as I like to call it, become an anti-artist.</div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
As a working songwriter, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked how I come up with new ideas or bring high-quality work to the table when I just wasn’t feeling it. I know you’ve felt the same. But, before defaulting to that infamous myth of “Writer’s Block” as an excuse to skip routine writing, here are some challenges to keep you motivated to write, and help you burst through that blockade before it ever gets raised. </div>

But never fear, Harry's here hosting our virtual events. Please join us. Two weekly events and 3 monthly events. Please join our online community for the Wednesday Open Mic and get in line for the Saturday Showcase. Check out our details below.</span><br />

<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">This year, our annual DSA Hall of Fame Event, which honors outstanding songwriters with North Texas ties, has been postponed until Sep 19, 2020. Live performances of the inductees songs by DSA Rising Star Students, DSA Members, and the BYO Musicians Network will be broadcast LIVE to a global audience. We've opened up the audition process again because we have more planning time for the event. If you are interested go to the Hall of Fame website for audition procedures. </span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">Rising Stars who would like to perform can send audition videos to </span><a href="mailto:info@dallassongwriters.org" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;" target="_blank">DSA HOF Audition Video</a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><b><a href="https://dallassongwritershalloffame.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">2020 Hall of Fame inductees:</a></b> John Denver, England Dan Seals, John Ford Coley, Steve Wiseberg, Janie Fricke, and Gregg Smith. </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">Last year, DSA initiated a new Rising Star program to encourage young aspiring musicians to celebrate our legends with performances of songs by our inductees. DSA is reaching out to the local music schools and asking for auditions at each school for the honor to perform.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; font-size: 14.7px;"> </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">These students will be backed up by the BYO Hall of Fame band consisting of highly respected local musicians. The band members and special guests will also perform songs by our inductees.</span><br />

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; color: black;">DSA is proud to announce that this years Grand Prize Casio Privia Keyboard is the new PX-S1000. This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7 pounds. The </span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18 different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos, Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches, organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split these sounds.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
By Alper Tuzcu (Flypaper)</div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Songwriters are always looking for new sources of inspiration and new stories to tell. Sometimes we write songs based on personal experiences, points of view, and concepts. But sometimes these are not enough for coming up with a good song and we need to focus on our senses to extract some ideas. By using the mundane perceptions of our senses, we can actually generate really cool lyrics with a technique called object writing.</div>

We're proud to be celebrating our 25th Anniversary as a non-profit. DSA has been an organized songwriter group since 1985 and became a non-profit in 1990.</div>

It's a place where folks in the music</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> community can express themselves and contribute by writing articles in the categories of Songwriting Tips, General, Humor, My Lyrics, Music Business, Music Promotion, Music Technology and Inspirational. I hope you will check out the blog site and read the new articles.

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; color: black;">DSA is proud to announce that this years Grand Prize Casio Privia Keyboard is the new PX-S1000. This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7 pounds. The </span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18 different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos, Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches, organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split these sounds.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">The development of a song from basic idea to finished release is a long process. Each stage requires specialized skills to get the best end result. If you mostly identify as a songwriter, stepping into one these other roles can feel intimidating. But there are major benefits to learning new skills from other disciplines in music.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Sampling unusual objects to create percussive rhythms and abstract sound collages has actually been in practice for over half a century — with composers such as John Cage, Pamela Z, Brian Eno and The Beach Boys employing various techniques and pushing the electronic music envelope forward into different sound worlds. But these days, with so much audio production being possible from your own home, it’s never been easier to turn any random sound into a useful instrument.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Looking to buy a new mic? Make sure you do your research. If you spend $500 on a new mic, you’ll end up with a great mic regardless. But with cheaper prices comes a higher chance of low-quality mics. So I want to go over five of the best studio microphones under $100.</span></div>

Many musicians are stuck at home these days wondering the same thing, and many have taken to going back to the somewhat ancient art of songwriting, in the hopes that one day they’ll be able to share this new material with an audience. Let’s talk about how to build your confidence in your songwriting abilities, and why it’s even something to consider in the first place.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hello Songwriter,</span><br />

<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Thought about writing a song titled, Stay at Home", but just couldn't bring myself to do it. I've already heard that phrase too much. I'm so grateful to Harry Hewlett for conducting our virtual meetings, workshops and showcases via Zoom. Thanks to Harry my sanity is still in tack. Yes, DSA has gone global and virtual in order to continue to provide programing for our members. No matter where you are in the world, you can join ours meetings, open mics and showcases. So jump into </span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">the Texas music scene, and take advantage of these new opportunities anywhere in the world and </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">join us for some virtual fun and learning opportunities. </span><span style="color: #000099; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://dallassongwriters.org/join-dsa/" style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">https://dallassongwriters.org/join-dsa/</a></span></div>
<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-variant: var(--ytd-video-primary-info-renderer-title-font-variant, inherit);"><br /><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I saw this on Fox 4 channel just today. The song is written and sung by Gary Burr. I met Gary many years ago in Sony Tree studios in Nashville. He's written tons of hits.</span></span><br />

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; color: black;">DSA is proud to announce that this years Grand Prize Casio Privia Keyboard is the new PX-S1000. This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7 pounds. The </span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18 different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos, Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches, organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split these sounds.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">By Yongtaek Oh, doctoral student; Brian Erickson, post-doctoral researcher; Fengqing (Zoe) Zhang, PhD; and Youngmoo Kim, PhD (Drexel University)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">A new brain-imaging study has studied the brain activity of jazz guitarists during improvisation to show that creativity is, in fact, driven primarily by the right hemisphere in musicians who are comparatively inexperienced at improvisation. However, musicians who are highly experienced at improvisation rely primarily on their left hemisphere. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">"While we're practicing social distancing, nothing can bring us together like the power of music," Michael Sticka, President of the Grammy Museum, said. "Our doors may be closed, our mission is not," Sticka said. "So the Grammy Museum was able to, almost within a 48-hour period, pivot and create a digital museum. The new Grammy Museum at Home portal features new artist public programs, education and virtual exhibits. The museum will also be surfacing content which has never been released before… And it's entirely free."</span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">By Jessica Nicholson (Music Row)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">There is no segment of the music industry that hasn’t been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic on some way over the past several weeks. Music tours have ground to a halt as venues large and small have shuttered in response to state ordinances, touring agencies have furloughed workers, and artist managers have scrambled to revamp promotional plans for their artists’ album releases. For Nashville’s close-knit songwriting and music publishing community, the stay-at-home ordinances have meant songwriters and music publishers alike have been sheltering in place at their homes. The sudden shift has led music publishers and songwriters to turn to digital platforms to keep their businesses moving forward.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">If you work at an after-school music program, maybe this dilemma will sound familiar: Your students want to learn how to make music, but maybe not the kind they find in their school's classical, marching band, or choral curricula.The Music & Youth Initiative came up with a cost-effective way to get powerful, contemporary music-making tools into the hands of students. The battery-powered workstation the group devised has everything students need to create modern pop, hip-hop, R&B, or other current music, and it will cost just about $1,000 total.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">By Andrew Limbong (NPR)<br />Ellis Louis Marsalis Jr. was born on Nov. 14, 1934. He graduated from Dillard University in New Orleans with a B.A. in music education, and that was the field to which he devoted himself. Despite playing with such notable jazz musicians as Cannonball and Nat Adderley, he was most proud of his work as an educator. His music students included Terence Blanchard, Donald Harrison, Harry Connick Jr. and four of his sons: Wynton, Branford, Delfeayo and Jason Marsalis.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">By Peter Keepnews (The New York Times)<br />A master of the subtle art of rhythm guitar as well as a gifted soloist, Mr. Pizzarelli was sought after for recording sessions in the 1950s and ’60s and can be heard on hundreds of records in various genres, although he was often uncredited. He also toured with Benny Goodman and was a longtime member of the “Tonight Show” orchestra. But he was little known to all but the most knowledgeable jazz fans until he was in his 40s. He became a mainstay of the New York jazz scene, often performing with his celebrated son John. </span><br />

<div style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">While the coronavirus has temporarily curtailed our face to face meetings, open mics, and showcases, the global pandemic has awakened new possibilities for outreach to connect the global music community with the Texas music scene. In response, the DSA is going global and in many cases virtual in order to grow our membership and provide new opportunities for our members. <a href="https://dallassongwriters.org/join-dsa/"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; color: #000099;">https://dallassongwriters.org/join-dsa/</span></a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">2020 is setting up to be the biggest year ever for the Dallas Songwriters Association <a href="https://dallassongwriters.org/"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; color: #000099;">https://dallassongwriters.org</span></a> and it starts with our Annual International Songwriting Contest, which offers more than $5,000 in prizes with winners in 8 categories. In 2019, we had entries and winners from Iceland, Sweden, the UK, and all over the United States. <a href="https://dsasongcontest.blogspot.com/"><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; color: #000099;">https://dsasongcontest.blogspot.com</span></a> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Live performances and camaraderie with fellow songwriters make up the soul of DSA. Recent events have shown us that reaching out to the global community is hugely important to our mission to promote the craft of songwriting, provide realistic, educational opportunities to better navigate the music industry, and to provide exclusive performance opportunities, both LIVE and VIRTUAL.

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; color: black;">DSA is proud to announce that this years Grand Prize Casio Privia Keyboard is the new PX-S1000. This new electronic keyboard sounds and feels like a real piano and it is lighter weight than other keyboards with the same features. This “world’s slimmest digital piano” weighs in at just 24.7 pounds. The </span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; background-color: white;">back panel includes a USB port, an audio (stereo mini-jack) port, and two 1/4 inch outputs, (stereo and mono). The Privia PX-S1000 contains 18 different "bread and butter" sounds, including numerous acoustic pianos, Rhodes and Wurlitzer-type electric pianos, vibes, string patches, organs, harpsichord, and acoustic bass. You can also layer and split these sounds.</span></div>

By Erik Veach (Bandzoogle)</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
The practice of real doubling, the layering of extra near-identical takes of one or more recorded tracks on top of the original recorded track, has been around for close to 100 years now. The concept of artificially doubling in order to save time and media space was introduced in the 1960’s – Which is preferable?</div>

There’s a good chance you’re already using delay regularly, perhaps to create a repeating effect, make a stereo ping-pong happen, or in any number of other creative applications. There are, in fact, a whole host of useful things you can do with a delay, so we thought we’d go over five fun, creative ways you can use delay in your mix. </div>

By Soundfly Team (Flypaper)</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
In our opinion, pitch correction is one of the most important steps in modern pop vocal production. It plays a huge role in the mainstream pop sound, potentially more than any other genre. In fact, these days it’s not uncommon for pop artists to use some form of pitch correction live on stage.</div>
