Mail In your Critiques now for the next meeting
Members may mail in to our PO Box a Cd to be critiqued at the meetings for a fee of $20. Your critique will be recorded and sent to you as an MP3 file. This offers members who are unable to attend the meeting the benefit from the critique program and a chance to compete for the Songwriter of the Year Award. Here's a comment from Morri Hartgraves about the program, "Thank you for putting the time and effort into MIC. The program is really benefitting me as a songwriter. Sherrie and Blake's comments were appreciated."
ZINE SWAP DSA is offering a place to swap magazines at the monthly meeting. Instead of throwing out your music magazines, bring them to the meeting to share with other members. We will provide a space at the sign in tables for the Zine Swap. For more information call 214 750-0916 or visit the DSA website.
