Songs of Love

I don't know if anyone has ever posted anything about Songs of Love, but for you songwriters out there looking to share your gifts to help heal critically ill children, check out www.songsoflove.org . It's a terrific organization. I've been writing for them for quite awhile now, and I have gotten way more back from the children and their families than the small amount of time I donate.Basically, you get a profile on a child - what they love, their friends/families, favorite music, etc. Then you write and produce a song just for them, all about them. Songs of Love delivers the child a CD. There is a small stipend for "staff writers", I've never taken any money but it can help defray production costs if you need to hire a singer or something. Anyways, I just thought I'd put it out there in case you've never heard about it.Stan

This allows us to give back to others and make a terminally ill child happy in the process. Thanks for posting that.
