We had a great turnout at the January 14, 2018 meeting on Sunday with 19 people in attendance and 12 songs submitted for critiquing. We want to thank everyone for spending their Sunday afternoon with us and also wish to extend a warm welcome to our newest members, Mia Walker and Geoff Simpson, for joining our organization. We enjoyed meeting Dylan Cooper and hope he will also become a member. We hope everyone had a great time.

A special thanks goes out to Dennis Welch from Austin TX for presenting the January Mini Workshop titled “Making A Good Song A Great Song”. We received lots of great information.

The Upload section in the Song of the Month Area is now OPEN. Only songs presented at the January 2018 Meeting can be uploaded for additional critiquing and entry into the HSA January Song of the Month Contest. The Upload Area will close on Monday night, January 29, 2018, so please enter your song by that date.
