Muse's Clues articles (appearing in "The Muse's News" newsletter)
Issue 2.3 June, 1999 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ M u s e ' s C l u e s : Web Site Reviews by Jeff Mallett ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Every songwriters organization I've ever been a member of has had a newsletter, whether it was a few type-written sheets or a slick magazine. Since there are quite a number of songwriters organizations coming online these days, we are seeing more and more member newsletters (or at least newsletter snippets) available for free on the web. Many of these newsletters have general articles about songwriting and performing.
