Hi Folks,

As the snow finally starts to melt, my husband Jeff and I are working hard making plans for our new Arts Center up here in Maine. Hopefully we will be able to start work this summer. In the meantime, I have a few months off while we wait this out. My guitar Gods, are also gone for a few months, so the gigs will be slim until they return. So I am free!!!!!

Rather than enjoy this time off, I prefer to work to help realize our crazy dream of putting up this Art Center. I could always take my apron out and get behind the bar again, but I think I will stick to music. And although music is never work, it can pose its share of challenges now and then, and I am setting myself up for a bunch of them!!!

I have decided to offer you a song......not just any song...your song. How would you like me to write and record a song especially custom made for you or someone close to you!!!???? Maybe it is about you...maybe it is about a loved one....maybe it is for someone's birthday, mother's day, father's day, I'm sorry day, graduation or any old occasion. I will write it, record it, and send it to you...you will own it.

I have done this a few times this past year for different folks for different reasons, and found that the people who have commissioned my songwriting talents have really moved me with their passions and their stories. It has been a fun and rewarding experience overall. And I found that I was better at it than I thought I would be.

I realize not everyone will be able to afford this, and please understand that most of a musician's income usually will come from their songwriting....it is our most valuable commodity.

Here are the details:

"Your Personalized Song"

I am in essence, writing a song especially for you. You give me the person, the subject, content ideas or all three....and I will write a song custom made based on your request.

I will record it in a local studio, with vocal and guitar. Depending on the way the song speaks to me musically, I may add other instruments and vocals. But generally your song will be arranged acoustically.

The cost is $1500.00, which includes: - the ownership to the song, (I would only ask that you always give me the writer's credit for the song if you use it for anything other than just a listen!) - 10 copies of the song with a personalized label - the lyric sheet matted and signed

Unfortunately I am an artist, not a jingle writer, so I would not be open to musical ideas, other than lyrical content, which I will do my best to interpret, metaphor, or try to fit in where appropriate. Songwriting is a very personal thing to me, as this is personal to you. Hopefully our combined worlds will have an interesting and artistic outcome, and that is why you have chosen me to do this in the first place.

I would ask for a $300.00 deposit, and would also hope to have three weeks to write and record the song. If you need it sooner, I can try my best. Some of my best songs were written in an hour...some have taken days.

So that's it...not too complicated......let's talk!!
