"Possible Songwriter Group in the Northern Part of Houston"

The reason for this e mail is that I am a member of a group called TexasCSA (Texas Christian Songwriter's Association). It is a very active group which has local chapters in DFW (also the headquarters), El Paso, Houston S.E., Austin, & tentatively one for Abilene & San Antonio (in the works). We are discussing the possibility of starting a "Houston North" chapter since there are quite a few Christian Artists/Songwriters & Songwriters (& aspiring Songwriters) who live in the Northern Houston metro area. And the drive to the S.E. location is too much for me as well as a few other "northern" members on a regular basis.

If you are a songwriter/aspiring songwriter, artist/songwriter who would be interested in checking out TexasCSA & attending a meeting that would be in the Northern part of the Houston metro area (looking to be I-45, from FM 1960 to the Woodlands or Humble area right now), e mail me to let me know if you'd be interested in attending a meeting & consider joining TexasCSA.com. Feel free to check out the website as well. If you're not a songwriter or aspiring songwriter, please tell any of your friends or family members who are & live in the North/Northwest/Northeast areas of the Houston metro area to contact me. If you're a musician or songwriter who lives in the East/South or Southeast, you can go to the Houston S.E. meeting. Anyways, We have to have 5 active members & 5 new members to justify having the "Houston North" group for TexasCSA. And headquarters has told me that he'll consider it when I find that many people that will attend the "Houston North" meeting/meetings.

To respond back, e mail me at my other e mail address: Tawana@Tawana.org (my general music e mail address). And forward this e mail to everyone you know who is a songwriter or an aspiring songwriter who wants to network with other Christians, be encouraged, & learn the craft of songwriting. The first meeting is free. If you decide to join (either Houston chapter), there is a once a year membership which is very inexpensive: $25.00. It's not only for the songwriter but the artist/songwriter as well. And the guy in charge has a lot of connections & is working to do some things to help promote Christian Songwriters in Texas. Also, they're having a conference in Arlington on Memorial Day Weekend & will have pro songwriters & a few industry people from Nashville. Once, I get over 5 new people, I can get with John & Stephanie (and possibly Keith-the S.E. guy) to see when we can set up an interest meeting for the Northside. If you're from the West or Southwest side (& don't want to drive to the North or S.E.), you could always talk about putting together a westside group (although, you have to join TexasCSA first).

Well, that's it for now. For anybody who responds to this, please do so quickly to let me know that you'd be willing to go to a "Houston North" meeting. John will only do this if I have enough interest to justify having 2 groups in Houston. Here's the response e mail: Tawana@Tawana.org. Hope to hear from some of you soon.

In Christ,

"Tawana"
