This is Rew - Jewel of New York City. She helped Bee with the song titled Party 2Nite in our song catalog. We are currently thinking on making that a holiday song as it’s great for New Year’s Eve. Rocks, open for genre interpretation, great party vibe.
Since we worked that song Rew & Bee have gone on to start interviewing New York City area musicians and personalities. Here’s a link to their YouTube page of many such videos.
Met this cutie in a driveway. I was carrying a bag of groceries & he was getting his accoustic guitar out of the back seat of his girlfriend’s car. While I cooked, he strummed & sang in the next room. He talked about his music & I asked to take his photo. I felt like this was a meeting of two artistic pilgrims. What a wonderful afternoon.
It is Songs2Share’s goal to video some quality artist interviews. We bought a HD Video Camera for the project and are now learning to use it. This little video of Johnny was taken on my Flip Mino which I just happened to have as I take it along most places. Very small & convenient video camera. Highly recommended.
We met Jim when we needed to put some vocal tracks over an existing backing track. He is very welcoming and helpful. Our first time in his studio and we were hooked. Next time we needed to do the same thing, we went back to Rooster Studios in Homewood Illinois.
Not only does Jim operate the studio with his staff helpers, he also organizes small house concerts in the studio. That’s where we got to see Matthew Bailey perform. That’s where Jim also hosts food drives and other charitable events. You can also throw a party for your kid over at the studio and he will videotape and arrange all sorts of goodies for your special birthday person.
We highly recommend Jim and Rooster Studios. He even plays guitar and also writes songs. He’s on MySpace - so just Google Rooster Studios and if you’re in the neighborhood, give him a visit. Tell him Songs2Share sent ya’!!! That’s Roberta, Matthew and Jim in the photo taken at the studio.
Matthew Bailey is a kind, generous and very talented guitarist. He sat in our front room and spontaneously came up with the melody to a song our vocalist Tia was working. In the studio he laid down two guitar tracks for her with no expectation of compensation. After she put her vocals to his guitar work, a great song titled Two Left Feet was completed. She is so proud of this song. It is the first studio recording of her own song material and we are very thankful for Matthew and his participation.
Karl & I went to see Matthew’s solo performance over the weekend. Above is a photo of Matthew and I taken at Rooster Studios in Homewood, Illinois on February 28, 2009. He recently sent in an MP3 and we’ve got some ideas about a song he’s working. Welcome to the party Matthew. Cheers ~

Moa & Arenla are writing to us from India. Moa constructs a wind instrument he crafts called a bamhum. Both he and his wife are playing the bamhum on the song we just finished titled Yearning For Tomorrow. As soon as we get the paperwork, we’ll post it at this website.
Moa is such a nice guy (and great guitarist) he offered to make me my own bamhum!!! Then he offered to make one for my partner. I’ve asked to purchase 2 from him as Songs2Share will donate them to local school music departments. They look very interesting and I look forward to recievin his gift. There are a lot of generous and wonderful music people on this Internet.
Introducing a new songwriter to the Songs2Share community.
His name is David Mac Mullan and he currently resides in Switzerland. He sent in a photo of himself singing “New York New York” which he says goes over well with his European audiences.
His song titled You’re Going To Break My Heart is in the music player on our home page. It is a very good mood piece for film, as well as a good performing piece with guitar and vocal alone or orchestrated.
