Western Mass JPFolks News # 17CONTENTS: 1. COORDINATOR’S MESSAGE 2. JPF LYRIC AWARDS 3. WRITE A NEW SONG 4. WESTERN MASS SONG CIRCLE 5. OTHER STUFF 6. WESTERN MASS FOLKS ON THE WEB --------------------------------------------------------- 1. COORDINATOR’S MESSAGEHappy Spring! We haven’t been real active as a group this past year. Lets see if we can do something to turn that around. Three things to do before summer kicks in and we put it off until fall: Enter the lyrics contest. Write a new song. Come show us your stuff in a song circle. See below for details. Marty Western Mass Chapter Coordinator Just Plain Folks www.jpfolks.com 2. THE JPF LYRIC AWARDS http://www.justplainfolks.org/ubb/Forum59/HTML/000021.html That link will explain everything. But just so you know what you’re getting into - Just Plain Folks has a lyrics only award to go along with its Songwriting Awards. The entry deadline has long since passed on the recorded music, but the lyric entry deadline is May 31st. All you have to do is follow the instructions on the board and post your lyric as a reply to participate. Richard Berman was a finalist in this category in 2004 and Shandy Lawson a finalist in 2002. I’d like to see us represented on the podium again, and I’d love to see a winner from our area. So get your best song lyric entered. It doesn’t have to have been written this year, just not submitted in the 2002 or 2004 awards. 3. WRITE A NEW SONG Sometimes it just takes a challenge to get folks to get creative. So here’s your challenge – write a song about Summer. Baseball, hot dogs, trips to the beach, golf, sunburn, carefree romance. Finish it by June 1st and post it on the Just Plain Folks Western Mass page at Soundclick. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pageartist.cfm?bandID=205027 When you’re ready to post it – e-me and I’ll get you the correct username and password. After you’re done you can listen to what everyone else comes up with. 4. COME TO A WESTERN MASS SONG CIRCLE Tuesday, June 6th, 7:00 PM at Bishops Lounge, 41 Strong Avenue, Northampton. I’ll even buy a beer for those folks who post a song on the Soundclick page ahead of time and come out. We can sit around and trade songs from 7 to 9. Then JPF members Linq (9:00) and Lisa Lawrence (10:00) are featured performers on the normal TuSeday Songwriter Series. 5. OTHER STUFFSteve Sanderson and Mark Schwaber have set up a 2nd Wednesday Songwriter series at the Apollo Grill in Easthampton. I’ll be there on May 10th. Lisa Martin has started an open mic at Udderly Delicious 273 Main St Oxford, MA every Wednesday from 7:00pm - 9:00pm. Nancy and John from Cosmic Moxa have started a new open mic at Our Place Pub in Gardner on Thursday Nights – 8:30 to 12:30. 6. WESTERN MASS FOLKS ON THE WEBFirst check out the JPF Western Massachusetts Chapter page on Soundclick: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pageartist.cfm?bandID=205027 Then go to the Chapter forum at JPFolks: http://www.justplainfolks.org/cgi-b...n+MA+Chapter+Message+Board&number=62 Marty Helly http://www.martyhelly.com Lisa Martin http://www.lisa-martin.com Tom Neilson http://tomneilsonmusic.com Diane Lincoln http://www.linqmusic.com Andrea Lafazia http://www.andrealafazia.com Robin O'Herin http://www.robinoherin.com Jeb Barry http://www.jebbarry.com Kirk Creswell http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/Resurrection_Airmen/ Janet Ryan & Ray Chaput http://www.janetryan.com Arjuna Greist http://www.ArjunaGreist.com Guy-Michael Grande http://www.guy-michael.com Peter Schindelman http://www.soundclick.com/bands/4/peterschindelman.htm Sparkie Allison http://www.valinet.com/~sparkie Shandy Lawson http://www.shandylawson.com Catherine Orland http://www.catherineorland.com Jen Tobey's Alter Ego http://www.jentobs.com Richard Berman http://www.richardberman.net/ So now I’m wondering who among this group are on MySpace … Let me know and I’ll post a list of folks when I get around to it! ============================= REMOVAL: Anyone wishing to discontinue their newsletter subscription, please let me know and you will be removed from the newsletter list. ------------------ Marty my home Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you recognize a mistake when you make it again!
