GREATER BIG BEND MUSIC IS CHANGING!

After months of being off-line due to ISP server changes and content conversions, GBBM is back on-line.  Many thanks to the GoDaddy organization for  their assistance in this regard. 

The website will be under "re-construction" for a few weeks to refocus the site's purpose and functional content.  Many elements of the website have served their purpose and, as they say, "...it's not about holdin' on, it's about movin' on". 

Consequently, the broad-based mission we have had to serve the local songwriting community at large will become more narrowly focused.  Some aspects of the website will disappear, some will remain, and there will be new functionalities.  Aspects that continue will be those that assist others in furthering their songwriting craft, for example, as well as events promotion.  Discontinued functions will include, for example, GBBM services.  New  "re-constructive" efforts will be to refit the music platform from a group focus to an individual focus.

Sincere thanks to all who have participated in the original GBBM since its beginning in 1999.  More's the difficulty when thinking  about removing musical and historical content from the website, but streamlining is necessary if the site is to continue to serve a purpose.  Peace... and best wishes for your continued success in music... and stay tuned.  Ron Patrick

 Songwriters are poets,
humorists, social commentators, oftentimes out-of-step dreamers blessed to know the brother and sisterhood of creation.  

"But then one night in some empty room
where no curtains ever hung,
like a miracle some golden words
roll off of someone's tongue.
After years of bein' nothin'
they're all lookin' right at you,
and for a while you'll go in style
on 16th Avenue.
"
  
Thom Schuyler, 16th Avenue
