Cowboy angel is what comes to mind when I think of John. He is a part of a ton of songwriting communities all over the internet, runs a podcast (SOS: Songwriters and Original Songs), and has written hundreds of songs...if not thousands. I particularly enjoy his dry sense of humor and blunt Australian accent.

I have known Cece for years, and it has been an absolute joy and honor to have her part of our community. She has been with us since the inception when it was mainly Austin Texas-based folk. She has an incredible intuition and sincere devotion to the mystery of being human. It shows in all of her songs.

I am so dang encouraged by the high level of participation happening inside the membership right now. We are on our seventh 100-day challenge since we started in the Spring of 2017. By day 60, the daily postings usually have waned, but we are still going strong! I am proud of everyone who is hanging in there.
This is the 100 Days of Songwriting highlights reel from our first month of the Fall 2019 100 day challenge. This is also our first highlights reel ever!
I am so encouraged by the ten songwriters who submitted their work—got a little teary-eyed listening to everyone's heart and soul coming through these speakers.
