Happy Holidays & Happy New Year! Mary Lemanski Communications Manager

We seldom give thanks, really. We shuffle through our days, our weeks and months

in the act of doing. Rarely do we take time to stop and smell the roses, and give

thanks except for the one Holiday a year, Thanksgiving. But we shouldn't have to

wait for that day to be thankful. Every day can be filled with thanks.

Not only should we thank others, but we should thank ourselves. We should take

stock of who we are and who we've become and celebrate our victories, even the

small ones. Appreciation of where we've come, along the long path of self-discovery,

is so important.

It's easy to give thanks, once we understand how easy it is. It can be for 1 minute a

day. Hug yourself, look up to the heavens and say, "thank you universe for giving me

permission to be who I want to be, and discover new things, today. Thank you for my

growth, and my own self-awareness. Thank you for all the little miracles that add up

to one big whole awesome ride, called life."

Whether you believe in God, or Mother Nature, or the Universe, or none of it, there is

every reason to give thanks.

Start today, with just a minute, to show your gratitude of YOU, the awesome being

that you are.

Now, that I've taken that moment, feeling warm and fuzzy and wonderful as a human

being, I want to give thanks to everyone around me. On a personal note, I feel a

great sense of achievement today. Fourteen years ago today I moved to the United

States from Australia to pursue my dreams as a music recording artist. Since that

day I have released 6 albums, on my own label I created; built a worldwide non-profit

songwriters organization, Songsalive!; written and published 2 books; toured the

States 3 times and all across Europe; and found the man of my dreams and married

him.

I am very thankful of the blessings in my life, and the successes that have come to

me and that I have created. I am living my dream.

I couldn't have achieved any of that without people. There have been numerous

angels in my corner to support and nurture my growth and path and I thank each and

every one of them for their guidance and opportunities. I hope I have also assisted

their dreams too, even a little bit, for this life is all about the give and the give.

I thank my Songsalive! Team for making our worldwide songwriters community come

alive and stay alive. They do so much for providing opportunities and services to our

members and most of you all don't even see half of the work they do. And they do it

voluntarily. That makes them ANGELS in my books. So next time you visit a

Songsalive! Workshop or Showcase, give the coordinator a hug for all that they give

and do.

Most of all, I couldn't have achieved any of that without my own sense of purpose,

inner confidence and trust that it will all be ok. And it is.

Thank you world.

Happy Holidays everyone.

~ Gilli Moon

Songsalive! Showcases

REVIEWS OF RECENT EVENTS Songsalive! Orange County November Showcase – For our last Songsalive! Orange County Showcase of 2011, we welcomed back two familiar faces to the stage at Sam Ash Music. And there was plenty of blues to be had! Laura Suarez performed the entirety of her EP "Reach for the Bottom", strumming her acoustic guitar and knocking down the walls with her voice. After Laura came R. Scott and his New Orleans-style piano songs, which fit perfectly beneath his bear-growl of a voice. It was a stirring evening of performances to close out the year in Orange County. We'll be back with more in January of 2012! Songsalive! San Francisco November Showcase – Songalive! is running a San Francisco showcase series every first Thursday of the month, currently held at Velo Rouge Cafe in San Francisco, CA hosted by local artist Katie Garibaldi, which features Songsalive! members performing outstanding original acoustic music. The most recent showcase took place on November 3rd, and featured Brandon Walker from the South Bay. Brandon played a full set of his original music, highlighting songs off his "One Step Behind" EP. He played a gorgeous set of both moving and quirky songs on keyboard. Then he switched to acoustic guitar for a few new songs of his, which was a great way to end the musical evening.

CHAPTER NEWS Songsalive! Chicago November Showcase – On November 17th, the Chicago chapter of Songsalive! held their bi-monthly showcase at the Heartland Cafe. We had two Songsalive! members perform. Mary Lemanski performed an acoustic set of her pop-rock songs. It was very touching at times because she lost her father a week prior. Lowell Pries, who has an eclectic songwriting style, played a fantastic set. He has only performed live twice, but seems to be coming into his own on stage. The audience loved every minute of the performances and had a great time! Songsalive! Los Angeles November Workshop – A cold day in LA, it was pouring with rain, but it was hot at the workshop. We had a great turn out for maestro John Braheny, our guest speaker who is the OB1 of songwriting. Participants were riveted. We started with song critiques, and John gave excellent feedback, and gave each songwriter copious amounts of time which was a treat for them. Then in the half time Gilli Moon, host for this day, asked everyone to go up and talk to someone they didn't know, and meet them. Then when we returned for the second half, each person had to explain, in one short sentence, who the other person was. This was very effective for networking and relationship building. John talked about writing a well crafted song for about 45 minutes, and used one of Adele's songs as a great example of structure. Quite a few bought his book, "The Craft & Business of Songwriting" and I recommend all of you to get your copy at www.songsalive.org/shop.htm. It's a must for your shelves. Songsalive! Orange County November Workshop – Songsalive Orange County finished up the year with a quiet but productive songwriting critique session, featuring four people and three new songs. Craig Smetana started off with a country-style song lyric about missing the one you love -- and making plans for when you see them again! Peggy Glenn followed with a soaring song about a different sort of missing: A beloved family member you remember from childhood. And Rick Willingham finished up with a rousing country-rock number about getting in trouble -- the GOOD kind -- with your spouse! Then it was time to talk about plans for 2012, especially the exciting month of January in which we have several interesting events on the horizon. Stay tuned!

Songsalive! Long Island November Workshop– The Long

Island Chapter is doing well as we’ve had 7 months of

workshops, and everyone who has attended has had a VERY

positive response. At the November 2nd workshop, one

person presented an original song. We all gave the writer

feedback, and then Mark Prigoff spoke for about an hour. He

was very informative. He talked a little about music theory,

gave out a hand out, and conversed with everyone who

attended. He also gave several examples on the piano of what

he was talking about. We all had a good discussion and the

event went very well. We’re skipping December’s workshop

for the holidays, but we’ll be back in January to start off the

new year! Looking forward to what the new year will bring…

Songsalive! Las Vegas November Workshop – At the

Songsalive! Las Vegas Workshop on November 21st, we had

a nice evening. Dave Skrock said they are moving very fast

on his movie script and music for the movie, and they are still

slated to start filming the movie next spring. We are all very

excited for him! I gave a brief report about the classes I

attended at the TAXI Road Rally, and we spoke about what

will be coming up for the group next year.

SONGSALIVE! NEWS What's New On Our Website?

We've been making some great updates to our Website as well as our server automatically updating new things. It's always productive around here.

Firstly, we've changed the THEME of the site, to help navigation and so that you don't miss out on the opportunities.

We added a new Forum called SongCollab (based on a Songsalive! Program), where you can find other members around the world to collaborate with

(whether it be over writing a song, or if you need a musician for your band, or a lyricist or singer, even.). The emphasis is that you would ask for what

you want, and other members would respond. The cool aspect of it is bringing nations around the world together. Isn't that neat? Check it out under

BACKSTAGE > Forums > SongCollab.

We have now a fully fledged event page where you can RSVP for a workshop or showcase. Check it out under EVENTS. You'll see that most of

December we are "dark" for events (except NY). We'll all be up and at 'em in January.

Our Program SONGSHOP continues to thrive with new leads for your music. Also our Opportunities Forum is filling up with cool opps for you and your

music. Check them out under BACKSTAGE > FORUMS

Speaking for Forums, the Song Critique Forum is really working. Any member can post lyrics or a link to a song and other members can provide their

comments and feedback. Also under BACKSTAGE > FORUMS. If you want a professional song critique, come to a Workshop near you (see

EVENTS) or get an online critique under BACKSTAGE.

Also under Forums - Songchat is a new forum that allows you all to introduce yourself (free and pro members). Songchat, the word, is also used for

our Yahoogroup of same name which has been going for 14 years. See community > groups to get subscribed to Songchat and that comes into your

email inbox.

You can SHOUT out a little message on our home page. Notice the top right blue SHOUT box? Go ahead. Say something. It actually shows up on all

pages, top right! Now that's cool.

Happy Holidays everyone!

WORKSHOPS & SONG CRITIQUES

Songsalive! Online Songwriting Workshop coming soon... We want to hear your interest! Imagine gaining professional feedback on your songs from wherever you are!

As you may know, Songsalive! runs songwriting/song critique workshops in various chapters around the world. But it can be hard for a

songwriter to attend if you don't live near the chapter (believe me, I grew up on a mountain surrounded by forest in the middle of

nowhere!) So we decided to develop an Online Songwriting Workshop where songwriters can attend from anywhere in the world to

receive feedback on their songs and meet with our special Music Industry Guest Speakers. Are you interested to attend? Let us know

your interest while we are in development of this fab new program.

Go to www.songsalive.org/workshops.htm and signup to show your interest.

Read the CD Review by Songsalive! and Interview with Songsalive! in the Songsalive! Member Of The Month blog or at www.songsalive.org/blog.htm Also featured on our HOME PAGE www.songsalive.org and Members Page: www.songsalive.org/members.htm Tracy's song "Sweet Beat Of Love" remix is also featured on our home page RADIO STATION

Tracy Woody recently released a four-song EP

entitled The Sweet Beat of Love. The songs are

a mixture of heavy disco dance beats coupled

with 90's high energy.

The title cut really connects. There are two

versions of the song on the EP. The un-remixed

version is strong and compelling and hits the

mark on both the lyrical content and the melodic

backbeat. It is fast paced and would be a great

addition to your Zumba workout. The remix of the

title cut is still good, although at a slower

rate. Both songs are worthy additions to the EP.
