ARTICLE Artists, Light and Horses By Gilli Moon
You may also just be that A-type personality who has so many ideas, and you want to do them all. Now. Or, you just know that inside you, your artistic light just wants to shine and it deserves to be heard.
One of your thoroughbreds is biting at the bit at the starting gate. She’s really Ambition is a curse and a blessing. It provides a wonderful kick in the pants to testy, and wants to start the race. Salivating at the mouth, eyes zealous, mind make you not only believe you can “do it”, but gives you impetus to get on with going a hundred miles an hour. But the gun has not gone off. There is no start. it. But it can also be a detriment. Because you want your light to shine so much, you can get frustrated if the opportunities and successes don’t come fast She realizes she’s not alone. There are six, maybe ten, other horses also at the enough. That thoroughbred of yours kicks its hoofs in frustration, eyes jealous of gate, desperate to start: hooves kicking the dust, rump hitting the sides of the the next one next to you “making it”. barrier, leg muscles twitching. I have often wondered if my life had turned out differently. If, at the age of 18, when I felt the ambition rising in my soul, I was “discovered” by a record company, developed and marketed to the point of, perhaps, top 40 hits, number Then you realize, all of these thoroughbreds are yours. You own all these one songs, Grammy awards and worldwide acclaim. I mean, my ego could horses, and they are all ready to go, as soon as the mark is heard. They’re all easily accept that, right? My ego’s ambition certainly saw it that way. But my biting at the bit, ready. A few false starts, and back into the barriers. Still, it’s a road was very different. I couldn’t wait for someone to come along and waiting game. determine my fate: I took the ball in my own hands and created my own record company and distribution channels, thereby circumventing the “system”, using Do you ever feel like this? Do you ever feel like the thoroughbred inside you just guerilla marketing tactics and making a go of it on my own. I call it my “warrior wants to get out there and on with it? Are you feeling restless, frustrated, path”. Success? Damn right. It’s my definition of success. Honestly, if I’d waited anxious, and yet: full of energy, desire, passion and ambition? around thinking I could be “discovered”, that artist light inside me would have been extinguished. Do you have too many horses at the starting gate? Are all your projects/desires/dreams at the forefront of your starting gate ready to be The artist’s light is always there. Your creativity, your inner talent, your mission, unleashed? Do you feel like you have false starts and then you’re back at the your essence. While you are waiting for that long term goal to realize; while you starting gate, once again kicking your hooves into the dirt? are working on your big opus, don’t forget to continue to nurture your light. Restless…
You are not alone. The conundrum of the new creative entrepreneur is that we are not only passionate and ambitious as the ‘creator’, but also carrying the load of the ‘business startup owner’. You have to do it all, don’t you?

ARTICLE Artists, Light and Horses (continued) In fact, artistry is a life long journey – it’s about the day to day process. Let your light emanate on a daily basis, even if, in your heart, you’re waiting for that “big thing”. Getting to that big dream takes a while, to do it right. And often it turns out differently than you initially expected, which is OK. Maybe, just maybe, you might discover that the little things you achieve, are way cooler than that vision of what that “big thing” may be, or never be. Many artists who get the Grammy, or actors who get an Oscar, ask themselves, “what next?” You see, once you get some kind of recognition, or reach a milestone, you’ll only want MORE. What’s next, what else? And even worse,...”is this all there is?” Don’t be deceived by the Holy Grail, that magical destination you’ve set your sights on. Yes, the grass is always greener, they say, but let’s just imagine the grass is green right where you are, right here and now, right with what you have in your hands. Take a look at your thoroughbreds right now. Go pat your favorite one, and give it some hay and water. Give it the love and power. Focus on that talent of yours, and find little wins you can appreciate on a daily basis. They are the ones you’ll look back which will create a sea of wins in your life, and that is a life well lived.
Go shine your light! ~ love and light, gilli moon Want more?

CHAPTER NEWS REVIEWS OF RECENT EVENTS
OUR CHAPTER NEWS
Chicago Songsalive! May Workshop - Chicago Songsalive! hosted another songwriters workshop on May 10th at the Beat Kitchen. One attendee, Neil FitzPatrick, performed his song for critique. It was a well-written indie/folk/rock song about finding yourself and finding your way. The guest speaker was Vice-President of CHIRP Radio, Micha Ward. He talked about the history of low power FM and how after many years of trying to get legislation passed to open up the frequencies to non-commercial educational broadcasters, the legislation was finally passed in 2010 and signed into law in 2011. Micha also talked about what that means for musicians trying to get their music out to a larger audience. CHIRP Radio is currently an Internet radio station, but is in the process of becoming a low power FM station. -Mary Lemanski
Los Angeles Songsalive! May Showcase – It was an emotionally charged night as we honored our late songwriter friend D.Whitney Quinn. Performances were a high with Patricia Bahia, Dharmika, Debbie Opp, J.Walker, gilli moon, and Jimi Yamagishi. Special appearances from songwriters who sang in tribute to Whitney in the open mic section was a lovely feeling, especially Craig Harris, who wrote more than 30 songs with Whitney and sand a touching co-write. Tom Bishel also gave us his sensitive rendition of a Neil Finn song, plus we enjoyed newcomer Katie Scarlett, backed by Grammy award songwriter and Songsalive! patron, Alan Roy Scott. Paul McCarty also sang a lovely Whitney song too. Lovely night, lovely venue, lovely Orange County Songsalive! Showcase - In spite of fires and firey heat, and touching showcase. Thanks to Songnet for collaborating with music continues in Southern California! Mike V returned to Sam Ash Music Songsalive! once again. –Gilli Moon Store in Westminster, this time with his new band Red Shift Echo. The base New York City Songsalive!

CHAPTER Chicago Songsalive! June Workshop - On June 14, NEWS Chicago Songsalive! hosted another songwriters workshop at the Beat Kitchen. Songsalive! REVIEWS OF RECENT EVENTS
OUR CHAPTER NEWS
Songsalive! Bi-Monthly Online Workshop (May) - Songsalive! hosted another informative online workshop on May 17th. We went through our general introductions. There were attendees from Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Australia. It’s great to bring together songwriters from all over the globe to talk about songwriting. The topic of discussion was “Why artist promotion is important to you and important to us to build a fan base.” We talked a bit about what promotion is and the various programs that Songsalive! has to promote artists, including our workshops. We also discussed how promoting your shows and bringing people out to see you perform helps us as an organization as well. Then we had a Q&A session where we answered people’s questions and challenges regarding promotion and how Songsalive! can help. We ended the workshop by having a song critique of Mike V. Holland’s groovy song, “Shine Me a Good Day.” -Mary Lemanski Chicago Songsalive! & GoGirlsMusic.com Bi-Monthly Showcase (May) - The Chicago chapters of Songsalive! & GoGirlsMusic.com hosted our first bi-monthly songwriters showcase in 1 1/2 years at Borelli Pizza. Sandy Andina and Mary Lemanski did a Bluebird Café-style songwriters in the round, where they would improvise and sing harmonies with each other’s songs. It was a lot of fun for the songwriters, and the audience really seemed to enjoy the showcase. Borelli Pizza has a baby grand piano, a Roland keyboard, a drum set, a stand-up bass, and acoustic-electric guitar and lots of random other instruments in house. The jamming possibilities are endless! If you have a question or are interested in performing at a showcase, email chicago@songsalive.org for more information or Songsalive! PRO members can log on to www.songsalive.org, visit the Backstage, and “Apply to Showcase.” -Mary Lemanski
www.songsalive.org/groups.htm
Chicago host, Mary Lemanski, performed her alt-rock song, “Pretty Pictures,” on guitar. The song was well-received, and she got some helpful feedback. Songsalive! PRO Member, Greg Giebler, performed an incredibly amazing country song that he had written with his sister for his mother’s birthday, entitled “The Quilt.” It told the story of all of the patches in a patchwork quilt and the significance of each one. It was a very touching song about his mother’s life. Wonderful workshop! -Mary Lemanski Los Angeles Songsalive! June Workshop - The Los Angeles chapter of Songsalive! Workshop series continued on Sunday, June 15th at The Cahuenga General Store with long time professional and award winning songwriter, Alan Roy Scott. Alan guided the songwriter audience through an 11 songs critique offering each songwriting a chance to sit down and get a firsthand, in depth perspective on how to improve their songs while focusing on his topic of Craft Still Matters. Orange County Songsalive! June Showcase - Two veterans of our stage returned to entertain Sam Ash Music at our monthly Songsalive! Orange County Songwriter Showcases. Both of them have joined us several times before and once again they did not disappoint the crowd! R. Scott began with his patented combination of roadhouse piano and soulful R & B, his growl taking us through a roller coaster of loss, longing, and redemption. Michael Vanags came up next with his beautiful Taylor guitar, giving us a set of chatty yet heart-felt songs about real people — and Michael himself there, chatting between those songs ABOUT those real people, letting us know exactly whom it was he was singing about. He even phoned a lady-friend — from the stage — and left her voice-mail letting her know that he was premiering a brand new song about her for us. The crowd was tickled. -Rod O’Riley Orange County Songsalive! June Workshop - …The discussion for the evening, as with last month, dovetailed off of Pat Pattison’s excellent book “Songwriting Without Boundaries”. In this case we spent time discussing the concept of metaphor in your lyrics, and the possibilities it opens up. We brought in some of our favorite examples of songs where something is used to represent something else. Songs like “Fishing” by Richard Shindell, where fishing becomes an allegory for a frightening interrogation. Or the grand-daddy of them all, “American Pie” by Don McClean, where EVERYTHING stands for something else — and there are college courses to help you figure out what. Metaphor not only brightens your lyric, but it opens up endless possibilities. Rod O’Riley
