Have a play written about 25 years ago and no music is put to it yet. No talent in writing music here. A few people have been approached to get music done. No takers within reason. Problem is they all want cash in advanace. No way! I am willing to give credit for writing music and share copyrights as the basic lyrics are already written. You guessed it! the play is a musical. There is very little to the script that is spoken words. The music needed runs in nature from comical to classical.
Anyone want to take this misic writing project on so that the production of this play can be sought? Or would it be a good Association collaboration project? Contact:udbma@infowest.com
Thanks, Vic

May I take this opportunity to welcome the recent entries into the "guest book" portion of this site. I am encouraged by the new interest in our growing organization and expect 2009 to be an exciting one for our writers and musicians. I am still anticipating the "open mic" at Jazzy Java will happen beginning January 8th at 7pm and continue for 12 weeks. Yvonne is still hammering down a local venue for the Songwriting Seminar scheduled for the end of March with Pat Pattison. Get your money in for a valuable 2-day learning experience. We'll also continue the SUSWA meets with the songs of the week and month hosted by John West. They are proving to be a lot of fun and a great way to assist one another. The spring and fall concerts still have to be scheduled, plus all of the other gigs our members will have lined up, plus our friends KTIM radio want to get as much live talent on the air as possible. Don't forget about that either.
Most of all I want to wish all of you a wonderful Merry Christmas, and all the best in 2009.

I wrote for The Spectrum's St. George and Hurricane Valley Neighborhoods sections. I would love to meet and tell the stories of various members of SUSWA. Any of them may call me at 435-674-6293 and set up an interview time.

I'm coming to St George at the end of January 2009, looking for musicians to hang with while I'm there. Are there regular circles or jams?

I really enjoyed the get together on Nov. 11. I thought all the songs
had possibilities. Hats off to John, Yvonne, and Dan for making this possible. I think things will only get better in song writing.
P.S.
My song was Six Beers per Hour
Thanks again Dan for the keyboard.

The first of a series of 2008 SUSWA Fall Concerts was a complete success last Wednesday, Sept 10th.
An audience of 50 to 60 were treated to the soulful songwriting guitar work of Amy Whipple aka Xena aka Amie Marie.
She has been a enthusiastic new SUSWA member and I wanted to get an audience reaction to her work. As I expected, they loved it. She has been invited to be on my KTIM 101.9 FM "American Dream" show this Thursday at 10am to talk a little and play some tunes.
The featured performers "Desert Heat" continue to prove why they are a credit to SUSWA and the local music scene. Their mix of popular classic rock cover tunes and contemporary country pleases audience members of all ages. The band sounded "really tight" and do it all without a lot of bells and whistles. The entire night was a lot of fun - even the lawn sprinkler system that erupted in the middle of the show didn't deter the crowd or their enthusiam. "Desert Heat" performs at the OC Tanner Amphi-theater on Thursday & Friday evenings and has several dates in Novemeber at The St. George Elks Lodge behind Dixie Red Hills Golf Course. Good job to everyone. The next show is this Wednesday on September 17 at 7pm with Loni Stookey & Nic Chamberlain followed by Evazing.
Don't miss this one gang !!

Hey everyone! I'll be performing at the Hot Momma Makeover at the Dixie Center on September 6th with part of my group, "Soul Proprietor". I'll be singing songs off my new CD there. I'm assuming we won't be rained-out like at Peach Days in Hurricane since it will be inside! Check out my website at www.LeifSinging.com. I'll be able to post up-coming gigs and performances there and you can order CDs off it or down load songs. Thanks, Leif

Thanks EVERYONE for the support we have received while trying to put these 2 compilations together. It was way. . . . . more work than last go around! I guess that's expected when you do 2 albums instead of 1. I think you are all going to love the music.
We had an amazing amount of music sent in. Far more than we anticipated and while this was great, it required us to have to make some serious decisions on which songs would make the cut. I can tell you, that it wasn't a pleasant job.
In the mean time, come and support your local SUSWA members performing at the DownTown Thursday Night Celebrations going on the next 8 weeks. You won't be disappointed!!!!

Terrific work by Spiral Studios, Yvonne, and all who contributed with ideas for this new website. It was SUSWA's commitment to re-energize the rank and file with new and exciting projects and goals like the web, the CD compilation, participating in the "Downtown Thursday Night" venue in 2008, expanding the membership roster, "creating a buzz
about us with a better than ever Spring and Fall Concert Series at Ancestor Square, and recruiting support from the community and local business. SUSWA has not even scratched the surface of what we can become. In the weeks ahead I would expect many of you to forward updated photos and bios, and always remain SUSWA reps by assisting others to find their way to the songwriters and music of Southern Utah. Remember my radio show is on KTIM 101.9 FM. "The American Dream" promotes SUSWA every Thursday at 10 am and I'm still interviewing SUSWA members and others in the community "live". Bring your music and itinerary and join the show.
I would also congratulate the boys back in New York for the nice comments. Secretly they've always wished I would be accepting some award on CMT just so I would get up on stage and say, "Hey Pete, I told you I'd make it." But while that's still a dream, I really appreciate their support and enthusiam. Thanks boys!

All of Rich's former co-workers always said we would see him on the CMT Awards one day. And they day looks closer now than ever. He used to sing to us on the night shift back up North.

Checking in from Texas and listening to SUSWA music. Hey Ryan: as I listen to your 'Carried Away', I want to wish you well and say how I appreciated working with you in the past. Also, best wishes to the other 'Northerner'...or is it 'Utah Yankee'...Sam Payne. A big loss of talent when you guys ventured away. Rich has been working extra hard to take up the slack! Speaking of Rich, what is this award stuff? I like the site!
