HOUSTON FACE-TO-FACE MEETING and the GALVESTON FACE-TO-FACE MEETING have been consolidated this month due to Mother’s Day being the following weekend. The Consolidated meeting is on the 1st Sunday of the month, May 5, 2024 at Kojak’s Fine Foods, 1912 W 18th St., Houston TX 77008. The doors open at 1:30PM and the meeting starts at 2:00PM.
Members are welcome to attend either or both meetings, if they wish to do so. You may perform your song live or bring a recording. The Monthly Schedule indicated for the Online Music Submission is the same for both meetings. Only members who are current in their annual dues may present one song per month. Members who bring a song to the face-to-face meeting for commenting, should provide 30 copies of the lyric sheets to be passed out to the attending members. Songs can be played live or with a recording. Note, if you bring in a song that has already been posted to the website for the current month, it must be the same song you bring to the Face-to-Face meeting. You cannot bring in a different song during the month. If you are planning to upload your song in the May Song of the Month Contest, you must do so by Tuesday night, May 14, 2024.
