All sorts of products and
services especially for songwriters, negotiated so that you get the best
price possible. You'll find means of promotion and distribution,

NEED A NEW WEB HOSTING SERVICE FOR YOURSELF OR YOUR BAND?
I personally use HostDime
- and LOVE them. Really. Their service is superb and prompt, they
really know what they're doing, you can chat with them 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, and their pricing (The Muse's Muse uses a dedicated
server) is very reasonable. Check them out!

Hello
for another month! I hope those of you in places where the weather
changes, are staying warm (or cool, as the case may be). I know we're in
for our first bit of snow here where I am. I'm none too thrilled to be
honest. But I'll make do.
And I hope those of you
celebrating Thanksgiving, have a wonderful one - full of LOTS of things
to be thankful for. :) Since I likely won't speak with you until after
the holidays, I hope you have a wonderful Winter holiday too! (Whatever
you happen to celebrate around that time of year.)
I'm also on the lookout for
someone who knows how to develop websites and knows about Invision Power
(the software the message board runs on). I have a new logo developed
(yay!) - but now I need to put it to use. It *is* a paying gig, but at
this point, I need help getting things off the ground. If you're
interested (or know someone else who might be), let me know. Thanks!
And now, on to this month's raffle winners!
DO YOU WANT TO WIN A RAFFLE PRIZE? You don't get if you don't ask!
If you'd like to be considered for a raffle prize yourself, have a look at the various prizes offered at the top of The Muse's News webpage, decide which prizes you'd most like, and email me with your top two choices along with your mailing address so that I can get the prizes to you.
Yes, it's really that simple. :) (And yes, the mailing address is kinda
important. I promise it won't be used for any other reason than to send
you your raffle prize - and to mention your approximate location in the notice of raffle winners you see above here.)
I hope your month is filled with song, laughter and inspiration.
All the best,
--Jodi
