COOL REVIEW: Tom said it best: "Wide range of talent and plenty of good suggestions. Be ready to hear the truth in a helpful manner with regards to song composition. More on the lyrics than the music. This is a place to learn and to improve songs under construction. It's a good place for beginners and the nervous as well as the more confident among us."

Three came to investigate and didn't have songs. One had a poem set to music. Two were first attempts, one had never sung in front of people before. Eileen suggested (privately) that he get some stuffed animals and practice in front of them. Hmm! Interesting!

Chris Wimberley spoke about preparing a song for the studio and got many questions. There was not time to cover everything, suggesting new topics for the future. Chris said he would be happy to come back and I said I would be happy to have him.
