-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi everyone and welcome to another issue of The Muse's News.
This particular one is a bit shorter than the publications have
been in the past, mostly due to the fact that I took care of
announcing all the many MANY songwriting contests in the *last*
issue. (Though you'll still find them all online at
http://www.musesmuse.com/contests.html) So hopefully this won't
overload your e-mail box and you'll be able to enjoy it
thoroughly without swearing at me. ;) (Though, by the end of this
"Musing", you may want to tell me to shut up and let you get to
the rest of the newsletter. Sorry about that. There's lots to
report! :-))
A few announcements to make while I'm here. First off,
unfortunately, the contact information for Billy Dechand in last
month's Muse's News was incorrect. The correct information is as
follows:
Muss My Hair Records:
481 Wythe Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11211
http://mussmyhair.hypermart.net
I hope you'll check out his site and his CD. He's a very unique
performer and songwriter and well worth a looksee.
I also wanted to mention Just Plain Folks. If you haven't heard
of this organization, you're *really* missing out. Brian Austin
Whitney does a wonderful job of organizing a whole bunch of
extremely talented people who are "Just Plain Folks". He's about
to take another cross-country tour, so if you're in the area, why
not drop by and say hi? The web site is a huge resource
(www.jpfolks.com) and the newsletter is also full of information
that you'll find very useful. (To subscribe, Send an Email to
JPNotes@aol.com with "subscribe" in the subject field.) It's
always great to know you're part of a community and Brian is
certainly helping to develop that. I'm a member myself and proud
to be one. Maybe one of these days, Brian will get to Toronto
(you're reading this, right, Brian? Hint hint hint. :) ) but for
now, I simply enjoy receiving the newsletter and hearing about
all the wonderful accomplishments of the other members. It's a
treat. And like so many other great things on the web, it's
*free*. Why not drop by the site and introduce yourself?
There are a few services that The Muse's Muse can offer you if
you're a musician or songwriter with a web page, or wanting one.
For those who already have a web page but want to make sure
people can find them in the search engines, you can drop by
http://www.musesmuse.com/promo.html and take a look at the
submission service offered there. For those who don't have a web
page but would *like* one, take a look at
http://www.musesmuse.com/webpages.html for a service that might
be of use to you. Examples of projects already completed can be
viewed from that page. I'll be happy to answer any questions you
might have about either service so feel free to ask, ok? I'd
like to build up a community of songwriters with their own pages
on The Muse's Muse and hopefully, by putting a link to the index
of these pages on the sidebar menu of the site, some more traffic
will be directed to them as well. This is only in its beginning
stages. We'll see how it goes. :-)
Pat Pattison's WRITING BETTER LYRICS was our book give-away for
this month. A review of the book can be read at
http://www.musesmuse.com/1.7-October98.html#book in case you
missed it when it was first published in The Muse's News.
The lucky winner of Pat's book this month is Michael F. Tague
who says that, "The songs keep coming to me so I keep playing
them and folks keep telling me to keep going with it so I am."
Congratulations, Michael! And thanks for subscribing to The
Muse's News.
Next month's book give-away will be Jerry Cupit's NASHVILLE
SONGWRITING. Reviews and further information on the book can be
found at https://www2.serve.com/jyoke/partners/krangleform.htm.
This is a wonderful piece of work and if you're a country music
songwriter - or just a songwriter in general, the hints you'll
find in this book will be invaluable to you.
Lastly, a few requests. If you enjoy this publication, feel free
to spread it around. If you re-publish it in any form, I'd
appreciate your leaving the credit information at the bottom
intact, but otherwise, you're welcome to it. Also, if you find a
mention of The Muse's Muse or this newsletter anywhere in the
media, I'd love to hear about it. And lastly, I'm always seeking
contributions for this newsletter and the site itself. If you'd
like to write an article, take care of a regular column,
suggest a songwriter for the spotlight, or any number of
things, please feel free to do so. Your generous support is
appreciated.
And now, on to the show (uh... issue. Yeah.)
Take care everyone! All the best in your musical endeavours and
beyond.

C O P Y R I G H T & P U B L I S H I N G Q & A :
with Nancy A. Reece of Carpe Diem Copyright Management
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Question:
I was inspired to write lyrics for a new theme song for the Oprah
Show. The music was done in collaboration. In reading the fine
print for mail/e-mail to Oprah, it states that ANY submissions
become property of ABC and can be used without remuneration. So,
instead of sending the lyrics for review, I have queried for
permission to submit the song (with music) for consideration.
What do I need to know about to protect the rights to the song?
Is there something, other than copyrighting, that I should do
before actually submitting it? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
--Debra Flanders
Answer:
Hello there Debra- what an interesting question. My advice would
be to be sure that you have properly registered the composition
with the US Copyright office in both a PA Form - for the
composition and SR Form - for the sound recording. I would then
be sure that it is properly secured under a publishing company
(even if it is your own) and registered properly with your
Performing Rights Organization. At that point, and only then,
would I feel confident about pitching the material, not as the
writer, but as the publisher. It should indicate on the cover
letter and lyric sheet that the song has already been published
and that you are submitting it for consideration of use.
You do not want any indication that you are offering a work for
hire composition. To do so, would limit your earning potential.
I don't know what kind of lyric approach you took, trademarks and
rights of publicity may be an issue, but probably not.

M U S I C R E V I E W S : by Ben Ohmart
=================================================================
LISA BRIGANTINO - Demo
I usually don't review demos, but I thought this might be an
interesting change.
4 songs on the tape, 1st up is 'O Sister' which is good female
folk. And it seems that the backing voice is Lisa's sister.
Interesting - meaning Good - sounds they make. It's like
listening to a band in the middle of a park in a small town.
'Blue Jeans' proves the lady can Really strum a guitar. She's an
original, with quite a good vocal range. This is a sort of blues
song. I have trouble understanding some of the lyrics. But this
is a good demo for someone hoping to get signed.
She can also rock. 'I Choose Life a Different Way' is a good
piece of band business which Should end up on alternative radio
if life were just.
Perhaps it shall be!
My favorite song is the last, 'Holding On For Something'. Reminds
me of the songs my mother used to play around the house. That's
right, that's why I'm still a Helen Reddy fan today. This song is
just beautiful, beautiful music.....
Good control over her voice, her ability. That plus all the media
attention she's been getting in the mags, I can see her as a Lisa
to contend with. She won't sing the theme to 'Titanic II', but
her hands are better than Jewel's. Check out her site. A cd's
coming. Get it.

F e a t u r e d A r t i c l e :
STRONG TITLES, STRONGER SONGS by Ellen Silverstein
=================================================================
I have heard many clients say that they don't know how to finish
a song. When I ask them what they are trying to say, they
generally don't know because they didn't start with a concept.
Instead, they just started writing until they got stuck (which
usually doesn't take very long). A good way to avoid this is to
start with a strong title which will help focus your attention.
Once you have the title, a song can often write itself - or at
least suggest the direction that it should take. Some titles
tell you instantly what they are about such as "Because You Loved
Me". When you hear that title, you know that this song is about
how wonderful the singer feels because this person loved her and
how she felt she could do anything with him in her life. I can't
imagine it saying anything else.
On the other hand, some titles can clearly be written more than
one way. In one of my seminars a client was struggling with a
title called "My Best Kept Secret". It was suggested that "My
Best Kept Secret" could be about an old woman giving a young
woman advice about how the old woman managed to keep her love
alive in her marriage for fifty years. Or, it could be about a
woman who had a child with a man, and had never told him about
it. It could also be about a woman who was in an abusive
relationship and she knew she had to get out. But she still
loved this man and that's what was keeping her from leaving him.
Maybe you can come up with another angle for this title. But the
point is, that even if you come up with five ways to write it, at
least you've narrowed it down to those five. And you can begin
to write a story that is interesting and focused.
Unfortunately it is not always possible to start with a title.
Sometimes the creative muse strikes, and lines just start to flow
out onto the paper. When that happens, look at what you've
written and try to summarize it. Then find a strong title that
says what your song is about in a nutshell, before going any
farther. Again, that will strengthen your song and help keep you
from losing your creative focus.
Another reason to come up with good titles is that publishers
receive hundreds of songs each week with titles like "I Want You"
and "I Need You". You'll never get their attention with these
kinds of titles; they're generic and boring. You want your song
to stand out - to pique the publisher's interest so that he or
she will listen to your song. Interesting titles make for
interesting songs. And songwriting inherently is about finding a
new way to say the same old thing. The best place to start is
with a fresh title. It's worth the effort.

S o n g w r i t e r I n P r o f i l e : Brad Roberts
of the Crash Test Dummies ~ www.crashtestdummies.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------
When you hear the Crash Test Dummies, it's very likely you'll
recognize Brad Roberts' distinctive deep voice almost
immediately. But the group has also relied heavily upon his
song writing and can attribute much of their success not only to
their unique sound, but to their unique songs. Here is an
interview with this very talented songwriter, singer and
performer, conducted via e-mail when Brad and the band were in
the Toronto area to help promote the Crash Test Dummies' newest
CD, GIVE YOURSELF A HAND
http://www.musicblvd.com/cgi-bin/tw/0725369108924407692_43_647817
I think you'll find that he has quite a unique sense of humour
too. ;-)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Q *: What was your first musical experience as a kid and how do
you think it contributed to the music you're making today? Is
there a particular incident that sticks out in your mind as a
"defining moment"?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
my first musical experiences were probably that of listening to
my dad play the piano and my mom singing along. then i began
taking piano lessons myself. but my teacher was a horrid old
bitch, so i quit. (years later, as a bratty teen, i egged her
house.) at age 8 i began buying those K-tel 22 greatest hits
packages. listened to them hundreds of times. at age 10, i
bought an archie comic with a story in it about the "cave
archies". the last frame showed jughead and reggie sitting around
a campfire playing prehistoric guitars, called "plinka plunks".
the idea of playing guitar around a campfire was very appealing
to me, and made me want to take guitar lessons. at age 12, i
bought my first "kiss" record, their third album, called "dressed
to kill". i listened to it hundreds of times, and decided i
wanted to be able to play guitar just like ace did. so i found a
guitar teacher who i liked, and took lessons for about 4 years
after that. all of the above are factors which contributed to my
growing fascination with music throughout my early years. but the
most "defining moment" of my musical life was the realization
that i was a loser at school, that i couldn't play hockey, that
girls didn't like me, and that the only way i could dig my way
out of the land of nerds was by becoming a rock star. which i
did.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
* Q * I hear that you studied English and Philosophy in
University. What did those studies do for your songwriting? And
how have your philosophies changed since you first started out?
Do you see things differently now then you used to? Do different
things inspire you?

M u s e ' s C l u e s : Web Site Reviews by Jeff Mallett
-----------------------------------------------------------------
GETTING CONNECTED TO rec.music.makers.songwriting
My topic today is the songwriting newsgroup and how to start
using it armed with nothing more than your trusty web browser.
I'm sure many of you are capable at surfing the web, but aren't
familiar with newsgroups at all.
Here is the scoop:
Years before I'd ever heard of a web, I used to read Usenet
newsgroups. Usenet had its grassroots beginnings in 1979 with the
linking of a few Unix machines at Duke. Now there are probably
millions of machines on Usenet and its simple system for reading
and posting news is ubiquitous. The news server I use carries
over 30,000 different newsgroups on its news-feed!
Newsgroups are like virtual bulletin boards, much like the
message boards on some web pages. You can read messages and, if
your news server permits it, post new messages or replies to
existing messages. Newsgroups are organized in a hierarchy and
are named according to their place in the hierarchy. For
example, alt.music.lyrics, a newsgroup for discussing song
lyrics and where to find them, is inside the music group, which
is inside the alt group:
alt
/ | \
music
/ | \
lyrics
Messages posted to a newsgroup are organized in threads. Good
"newsreader" software should allow you to explore threads,
browsing messages rather than pouring through every single one.
Unlike email discussion lists, news messages aren't sent to your
email address; in fact, they remain on a server machine until you
decide you actually want to read a given message. This is a very
efficient system, if you value your downloading time.
Now that you know what newsgroups are, why would you care? One
very good reason is rec.music.makers.songwriting. The newsgroup
FAQ tells us this newsgroup "...exists for the purpose of
discussing all aspects of songwriting. Anyone who has an
interest in songwriting or songwriters is encouraged to
participate." Isn't that you?
It used to be that unless you were on a Unix machine, you had to
search for and download good newsreader software. Now all you
really need is a browser: newsreader software is a component of
both Netscape Communicator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. You
can try typing "news:rec.music.makers.songwriting" in the address
field of your favorite browser to see what happens. Be
forewarned though -- to get it all to work you may need to enter
some more information from your Internet service provider, such
as the address of a news (NNTP) server you have access to.
But rather than go further down that path, I'm going to tell you
about a website -- yes, this article is still supposed to be
about a website -- where you can read and even search archives of
rec.music.makers.songwriting. That website is:
http://www.dejanews.com
You can surf over there right now and set up a free profile.
Here's a recipe for how you can add the songwriting newsgroup to
your list of "forums":
1) Click on "my deja news" from the dejanews menu bar at the top
of the main page
2) If the topic isn't "My Forums" already, click on "forums" from
"My Private Stuff" on the menu of links on the left
3) Select the "Select a group" radio button and click "Add/Remove
forum subscriptions"
4) Type in "rec.music.makers.songwriting" in the field and click
the "Find Forums" button
5) Check the box for rec.music.makers.songwriting and then click
the "Add" button
Now whenever you're in the "My Forums" page you can select the
rec.music.makers.songwriting radio button and click "Read". Have
fun with your new online song pals and tell them I sent you. :-)
Peace!
Jeff
