FortuneCity Site Navigator ���Hello.� Welcome to Songwright's FortuneCity Music WorkShoppe. � On these pages I hope to provide a forum for both my own original compositions, and for the music of other talented writers and musicians who may not have the web knowlege and access that I possess, but would still like to make their music available to the wide distribution of people that is only possible on the net. �I am very aware that great talent often languishes in obscurity, while mediocrity (or worse) can enjoy great popularity and success. I don't pretend to be a great talent, but I am a pretty good writer, a passable musician, and seem to have the feel for being an 'entertainer' - which is the crucial ingredient in getting people to want to listen to you perform (and willing to pay for the privilege).

There will be several ongoing features of this site. First, and foremost, it is to provide a forum for musical and lyrical talents in what I would describe as modern "folk music". I hope to initiate two or three 'Sweepstakes', where people submit their songs to be showcased here, with the monthly winner(s) being added to the playlist. Also, I will offer to write a quick melody for a winning set of lyrics, and a set of lyrics (artist picks the mood and subject) for particularly nice melodies -- and record the winners in streaming audio in the Sweepstakes Winners section. This will help me to stay sharp, and give me some new ideas for projects of my own. ***I am currently in the middle of a company relocation, and will be unable to re-record any songs, or add any new ones to the list until after the move in mid July. I will try to add the Sweepstakes page sometime this month (May)***
