JPF Home Page Forums Southeast US Chapter Message Boards Tampa Chapter Message Board Next Professional growth meeting April 25

I was able to attend and first I want to thank Andy for organizing, Al the Pal for delegating and Cindy/Frank for hosting. From my recollection it was pretty well agreed that getting your song or recording into the mainstream of radio programming was a longshot, even if you are young and easily manipulsted by the powers that be. So we covered alternative marketing venues (such as Hotdisc and the European Country Music Association) and enhancement opportunities (such as Nashville Songwriters Association International and Jana Stanfield's book on how to make money on your own CD or Cassette). A little independent research on any of those topics should prove beneficial. I later checked out the reviews of the Jana Stanfield book on Amazon and our Andy K. is not alone in raving about the helpful advice it contains for songwriters. I'm getting one today. I'm also looking forward to the next interim meeting. And hey, don't forget the first Song Swap coming up May 8. Lots of confirms but few have requested directions. Well?
