I'm a widely-published, award-winning professional freelance writer, focusing on the music business but many other areas as well. I've been published in newspapers nationwide and am currrently a contributor to ToneAudio Magazine and the Kappa Alpha Journal, among others. I've also written copy and various documents for a lot of businesses, for Chicken Soup for the Soul books, and more, and am currently searching for an agent to get my first novel published. I’ve also been involved in the music business for 30+ years, as a multi-instrumentalist, singer, teacher, manager, publicist, reviewer, production assistant and engineering assistant, with both major stars and absolute nobodies. Also worked for years in radio as a classical and jazz announcer, newsman and talk show host. And I’m the only person I know in Nashville who was on the Gong Show. Moved to Nashville, like everyone, to get some songs cut and retire off the mailbox money. Accomplished public speaker; Nashville Toastmasters president. Originally from the IA-IL Quad-Cities, also lived and performed in Michigan, L.A., and Las Vegas. Contact me for information about the music and performers on this site.

Hi, friend. How is the writing going? I just spoke to one of my friends who graduated with a BA in Creative Writing, but is now working as a technical writer. He didn't say he loved it, but I know he still does the creative stuff, too. I wanted to let you know that I wrote and produced two songs recently and I'd like you to listen to them. go to www.myspace.com/amandacarsonrileysmusic and listen to Justified and I Sing. Leave me a comment, if you have time. I'd like to have your opinion since you're such an accomplished writer, yourself. Peace and Blessings. Amanda
CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.
Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.
I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
Christian

Whats up Rick? Vegas is hurting right now, along with the rest of the country, and of course, music is one of the first things they cut out. So...things are slow for us, but hopefully it'll turn around soon. Hope you're doing OK. Any Vegas trips in the near future? Take care, Greg
Thanks so much for playing for me last night. It was really great to share that amazing song. I hope it will get some major attention soon. Anyway, hope your wife gets better.
