S2S Update 12/14/09
Monday, December 14th, 2009
Today’s tasks consisted of:
1. Accepting 14 friend requests. Listening to 1 song at each of their music MySpace sites. Only 1 was not a music related request & I delete that one. Found a couple artists that had the sound that will cover a song of ours well and told them. Heard a couple songs I’d like to read the lyric & listen for possible acceptance into our song and music licensing catalog, and told them.
2. Got a wonderful phone call from a co-writer about a great opportunity he has been offered and is moving across the USA country to accept. A big moment.
3. Loaded one new song at the website. Typed up his lyric and posted that too. Found out a second newly accepted song CD would not open correctly. Not finalized. I’ve gotten CDs I can’t open before. So I’ll have to tell him.
4. Changed a song in the front music player at the S2S website. Put Schroeter/Estevez’s Spanish A Donde Va’ in the music player on the front home page. Beautiful song that perhaps I’ll tell Anna from Trigger Gospel about. She’d be a great vocal & pianist to cover the song.
5. Found 1 typo and 3 song credit mistakes in the Cover Songs at the S2S website. Need a CODER!!!
6. Browsed the websites built by another coder who has answered the Craigslist ad for coding work in exchange for company equity. Sent the last prospective coder an e-mail and the main interest coder an e-mail too. Working the coder thing.
7. There are currently 10 different songwriters’ songs in the Songs2Share song upload box. We’ve got songs in there from July, August, September, Ocober, November and December. 14 song uploads in all. Now a few songs have been deleted or accepted or both so we did received more submissions than this - these are the songs been hanging around and I’m cleaning out the upload box, making room for more.
Of these songs 4 were signed into our song and music licensing catalog with 1 additional song from an accepted songwriter who had not uploaded the song. One songwriter has submitted a lyric for my critique & revision suggestions. I’ve asked another songwriter to do so (a co-writer’s personal song
) & we’ve got 7 pieces, 5 songs 2 instrumentals (I think
) coming from Jeffrey Butzer of Germany. They’ll be available for license shortly.
1 more holiday song titled Hot In Here which has A LOT of any genre potential. Rew has agreed we will work the lyric after the holidays. I gave her a suggestion to make the verse & chorus tighten up and she agrees. But I love the groove so accepted it into our catalog as is for this holiday season.
8. Answered a couple business e-mails & MySpace messages. Always doing that.
Actually got a new title. Anywhere. Jotted down a couple lines today. I have NOT written a new song all year…..// I’m going to have a blue Christmas if I don’t get 1 lyric finished. That’s my goal. I wrote other stuff this year and we did get 3 new recordings of my/our co-writes - which are all 3 lovely+ but I just goo-goo over finished manuscript.
===Oh the title was inspired because I got a 3:30am accidental phone call last night from one of the above co-writers. You know, the phone somehow makes a call without the caller knowing. His phone has been doing that over 5 -6 times this past year. I am letting the dog out at that early hour and answer the phone immediately. I hear him in the background say “I can go anywhere in the world…” in his heavily accented sing song voice, a lovely love song voice - then a female answers in Spanish. I wait about 20 seconds to see if he’s going to talk to me which he doesn’t so I hang up and go to bed. But today I’m laughing hysterically at the image and wrote the title and a few lines. Wow.
9. Before the night is deep I’ve gotta post 3 ideas under Monday Inspirations at the S2S website. These are my free ideas to you for songs, stories, paintings, poems, whatevers. Missed a couple Mondays and really want to get on a schedule. Now that I have a clearer vision of what Songs2Share is going to be, is already becoming, committment is necessary to achieve goals.
Peace.
