IJ’s Song Blog

Just hop over to the Song of the Month page, and you’ll find July 2010’s winner.  Don’t forget, you can participate too, just by sending your song to me via Soundcloud.  Or if you’d rather not do it that way, you can email me your audio file.  Emailing audio files can be a bit tricky, so please consider using Soundcloud instead…your track remains private and you can delete it from there at any time if you wish.

Also, when you send your song, don’t forget to email me your lyrics!  I like to read along when I’m listening :-).

Congratulations to this month’s winner, and see you next month!
