Featuring Don Wall

You won't want to miss this month's meeting because we will have Don Wall regale us with stories from Nashville!  Don is DSA member and former board member who moved from Dallas to Nashville about a year ago to be in the center of the songwriting world.  He has gotten involved with the songwriter scene there and has met lots of folks that I'm sure have helped him in his songwriting journey.  He will share some of his experiences over the last year maybe give us some tips on how to make connections in Nashville.  I'm sure it will be a very informative and entertaining meeting!

Also, be sure to get in your songs to be critiqued by industry pros Barbe McMillen and Joe Milton and considered for the 2023 Member Song Contest and Songwriter of the Year.  Please Note: You must go to the Dallas Songwriters website (see link below) to enter your song, or you can play them live.  When you go to the website look for "Forms" on the upper right-hand corner of the page then point to "Song Critiques" and the form will show up.  You can type in the lyrics or cut & paste.  For the song audio go to "Choose File" and load your audio file(s).  You can pay online via the critique form, and the cost is $10 per song.
