Rise to the challenge.If everything was free and required no effort, nothing would have any value. If there were no challenges in life, there would be no place in which to create achievement.The very factors that push against you provide a fertile ground from which you can raise yourself up. From your most burdensome limitations can come your greatest triumphs.Can you identify what's holding you back? Then you've also determined exactly what must be done to take the next step forward.When the side of the mountain is steep and treacherous, the view from the top is spectacular. By steadily working through the difficulties and challenges, you can reach the summit of increased strength and value.It is by working toward a goal that you make the goal worth reaching. The difficulties you encounter along the way serve as opportunities to add value to the achievement.Life is worth living precisely because it requires effort and challenges you to be your best. Rise to the challenge each day and add your own special gifts to life's treasure San Francisco Mabel Joy
.. ATTN:Nashville/Austin Artists/Publishers! Pitching My Songs ......
provided by: www.hostdrjack.com Howdy All: I am currently pitching my Country Songs/Demos..My latest song, "Down On Music Row", is a Traditional Country tune about not forgetting our great Country Legends, who blazed the trail for all, and made it possible for all of us, involved in the biz, opportunities now, that we never would..ve, without their efforts!..I can not thank Ed Gowens of Echota Records, in Calhoun, Georgia, enough for producing and demoing my song..His female artist, signed to his Echota Label, Donna Ray, was gracious enough to sing on my song!...Donna Ray is the leading country female leadliner on the famous "Louisiana Hayride", still going strong after all these years! If Bluegrass is your genre, I recently wrote a Very Bluegassy song called "Something Bout Roy On The Opry" , my tribute song to the late great "king of the Opry", Mr. Roy Acuff, who I love and miss so much!..Ed Gowens did my demo on this song as well!.Ed..s client artist, Bob Harvey, who was in his studio working on a new cd at the time, sang dual lead vocals, on my Roy Acuff song!...In case ya..ll don..t know who Bob Harvey is, he was the founder of and band member of, the great sixties rock group, "The Jefferson Airplane", "I kid you not!" ..Ed teased me saying "Gilbert, if your song never makes it..how many people can say that a member of "The Jefferson Airplane", sang on their song"?..LOL..So, "guess I..m a winner already!..LOL" Anyway, all you country artists & music publishers, looking for good country songs, head over to my page and check my two songs above, and the others there, and let me know what you think!...I have all my songs Copywritten and they are all registered at BMI, where I am a member!..So rest assured, "I do own all my songs!"... Hoping you have a wonderful night and a great week! "keepin it country",... Gilbert Burke .. Hi: Guess you could say my interests in country music, first got jumpstarted back in 1980, when I was working at Ghost Town Park, in Moosic, Pa...Being very young back then, and full of vinegar, I vowed to be a Beatle and Rolling Stones rocker, "to the GRAVE!"...that is "until I heard a very young country female artist at the park named "Barbara Mandrell"!...When I heard that fiery young woman singin.."The Midnight Oil", and the eerie sound of that steel guitar, I was injected with a shot full of country music, that to this day, remains!.....I still love rock n roll, don..t get me wrong, but my heart..s in "Country Music now!"...Thus, I..ve dedicated my life to living/breathing and writing "traditional and pop country music"!....Now, if you dare, buckle up, and hop aboard "my musical train" and enjoy the ride"!...cause "I..m keepin.. it COUNTRY, the way OLE HANK would WANT IT!"....Gilbert Burke........
