AS TO MY OWN ORIGINAL SONGWORKS TO WHICH I OWN THE
COPYRIGHT & PUBLISH UNDER SERENDIPITY RECORDS LLC,
WHICH I OWN, you may look at myspace to listen to but
not download some of them.
To do this put the following URL in Internet Explorer and
go to it:
http://www.MySpace.com/ditzytwiggster
That will allow you to listen to the 1st song in the
list -- Spiralling Gateway. To listen to the others,
myspace requires that you establish a free account
first. You can give your regular email, because they
don't send junk mail.
"Search" there at myspace doesn't always reliably,
so if problems -- just sign in & then WITHOUT signing
out, put the above URL into IE & go to it etc etc.
Later, if you would like to comment about these original
songworks, you may go to my blog category on "professionally produced original songworks" & comment under one of the blog entries there, whichever is appropriate.
****FLASH****: I am going to setup another myspace
"music sytle" account with some of ME singings, without
any accompaniment. Some of original songworks ( including
just humming ) & some of oldies. Stay tuned for further
details.
