Day 3 of 3, man I had the coolest weekend

Okay, as promised: Part Three,- in my series of 3 totally cool days
Sunday January 18th at Doaks :
What is 3rd Sunday’s at Doaks ?? you say, well, for those who live in Nashville and surrounding areas AND those from OutaTown coming in for a few days, IT’S THE Coolest place for songwriters to go Every 3rd Sunday of the month, with a guitar, some tunes, an open ear, and a covered dish of food.
Doak Turner is a fellow SongRamper, a Songwriter a, Journalist and Business Entrepreneur, he owns and publishes an Internet Newspaper called the NashvilleMuse. http://www.nashvillemuse.com/index.htmlAmong many cool things, Doak, is one of the Songwriters Best friends, & Graciously hosts THE most important songwriters Get together, and Networking experience in Nashville.

Some of the reasons I feel its so Important to go, Even for Non Performing songwriters or Lyricists, are, its an awesome way to Network with Songwriters, Peers and other folks who work in Nashville’s Music community Its THE Best way to meet co-writers. It also gives you the chance to hear and experience fresh songs from writers, who are active in the community and many of whom actually play in local rounds during the week. It cost Nothing more than a dish of food to pitch in, and in return you get so much more
People gather On the 3rd Sunday of the month: Between 3pm and 8pm,, Besides the covered dish everyone brings, Doak has Amazing Sponsors like Bojangles Chicken, who Provide The main ourse and so much more
After a bite to eat everyone separates into the half dozen rooms and outside( if weather permits) to play songs in a 1 song, next person , laidback atmosphere,,,,and you may end up in a room with different people than whom you met , when you 1st got there,…embrace it. Its totally cool
Yeah its Great Eats, Great conversation, Great Music, and you never know who you could rub shoulders with, he or she could be the Next Big Thing, or have allready written that most recent hit you hear on the radio

So please Bring only your best behaviour, and check your attitude before you get to the door
