About me:
The Memphis Songwriters Association (MSA) is a non-profit organization founded in 1973 by a group of Memphis songwriters, including Memphis's own Estelle Axton, co-founder of Stax Records. (photo: Estelle Axton and Jim Stewart, taken from http://staxrecords.free.fr/estelleaxton.htm)"Were it not for her, there's no way Stax could have become what it became,'' said David Porter, a songwriting legend who with co-writer Isaac Hayes composed scores of Stax hits including Sam and Dave's "Soul Man" and "Hold On, I'm Coming."
Our members serve on a voluntary basis to promote, advance and help MSA songwriters in the composition of lyric and song; to work for better conditions in our profession, and to secure and protect the rights of MSA songwriters. All genres and experience levels welcome.
We host monthly meetings with guest speakers, monthly open mic nights, collaborative writing sessions and one-day periodic seminars focusing on improving our writing and business skills.
Come and join us at Memphis Originals (MO's) at Highland and Walker the second Tuesday of each month 7 p.m. til 9:00 p.m. for the monthly meetings (open to the public). See what we're about... find out how you can be a part...
It all begins with a song...
Who I'd like to meet:
ALL LOCAL AREA SONGWRITERS!!!MUSICIANS, EDUCATORS, MUSIC INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS, STUDENTS AND THOSE LOOKING TO BUILD A STRONG LOCAL SONGWRITERS NETWORK!!!!
MSA WELCOMES ALL MUSICAL GENRES AND EXPERIENCE LEVELS!!!

And through this comment you can tell.
But for some of you; we never met.
Only here through Myspace.
And from what you could tell... Answer something for me?
Lastly a question in general.
For those that make me wonder.
Wonder if it's real, fake or phony.
Either way. I'm real. I'll post it anyway.
However, I still hold that letter from when you asked me:
Didn't want to ask you the same way as the rest.
You can leave your thoughts within my comment post.
I won't cry about it.
