Happy New Year. GSC is still going
strong. We celebrated our 7th year online last year and look forward to
a great 2007. We are still tweaking our system and have some work to do
but we are looking for a brighter and more successful future. Thanks for
your interest, and God bless you!

Due to the current distress of our
budget, portions of GSC are still under reconstruction.
Although our advertising budget has
suffered, hindering us from placing ads in the media and trade
magazines, we still average 15 artists’ Song
Search submissions per month.
Several artists recently contacted GSC
informing us they are recording quite a few of our writers’ songs over
the next few months. Some have sent CDs of their latest project which
include several songs from our writers. This week the group "By His
Grace" sent me a copy of their new project; they recorded five of
G-team member Dee Gaskin’s songs.
Thanks for your prayers and support.

We
are still in the mode of remodeling portions of GSC. Thanks for your
patience.
We
currently have over 70 songwriters providing songs for artists, so if
you are an artist needing songs to record please visit our Song
Search page.

Due to financial distress we have yet
to streamline and remodel GCS as originally desired. Current plans are
to proceed as soon as proper funding is secured.
Song
Search is still available for artists requesting songs for
review. Over 700 artists have used Song Search since March 2002. Click here
for partial list of the artists who have used this service.
Due
to remodeling delays acceptance of new G-team members has been
suspended. Interested Southern Gospel songwriters may join our E-pal
e-mail list so as to receive word when membership may resume.

Although
we are still in the process of streamlining GSC the Song Search service
is available for artists needing songs to review. Song Search was
offline for several months. Since being back online 138 artists have
logged on and requested songs, as of this posting. Praise the Lord; not
bad, considering we have yet to resume advertising.

As of this date portions of this
website will be under reconstruction, particularly the G-team and Song
Search pages. We are streamlining this service by automating portions of
this website. The current estimated date of completion is September. It
could be sooner or later. Thanks for visiting and please check back over
the next few weeks for updates.

501 Artists
When Mickey Mixon launched
GospelSongwriter.com November 1, 1999 he could only guess how well his
website would do. Since several folks indicated they thought his website
would only last a year, maybe two, and not many artists would use his
service, he did not keep perfect records of how many artists used his
site. During the spring of 2002 Mickey realized "they" were
wrong and began keeping better records.
During that spring, while looking through his modicum of files, Mickey
estimated approximately 1,000 artists used his website. So, May 15, 2002
he began maintaining a better filing system. While he cannot prove it,
it appears that, to this date, over 1,500 artists have used his website.
However, Mickey's current, accurate, files show that as of today,
Thursday, July 24, 2003, GospelSongwriter.com has served 501 artists.
Praise The Lord!!!
Recently it was inquired of how much longer Mickey would provide his
website. His answer? "Maybe a year, maybe until Jesus comes. I
don't know, but I will keep better records until then."
Thanks to all the Southern Gospel artists and songwriters who have
helped to make GospelSongwriter.com a prolific ministry in the Gospel
music community.

Our 10th annual Songwrite
Seminar was successful. Gospel songwriters from Florida, Georgia,
Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee attended with smiles on their faces and
their hearts opened to receive. Our guest speaker, Kevin Hunt, shared a
lot of information with our eager attendees. Mickey’s portion of the
seminar was fruitful, as well. He shared scripture and exhorted the
ministry of songwriting and Gospel music. Several attendees were so
inspired they began writing new songs at the conclusion of the seminar.
The buzz was, “We can hardly wait for next year’s seminar”. Praise
the Lord!!!

The
month of May brought us 28 artists.

Beginning
January 2003, Mickey’s column “Tune-up” will appear in the Trade
Review magazine. Although Tune-up will contain educational and
inspirational content specifically geared for novice, amateur and
semipro Southern Gospel songwriters, pro writers may find it an
interesting read, as well.

Since
launching GSC November 1st 1999 literality hundreds of
artists have used our Song Search service. At first we did not realize
how significant our service would become so we did not keep accurate
records of just how many artists have used Song Search. A recent,
conservative, estimation gives indication that as many as 1,000 artists
may have used our service since that November day. This year we decided
to begin keeping records, and this summer we began tracking the monthly
artists submissions. In August 34 artists used our service. There were
38 in September, 44 in October, and 59 this month. 59 Song Search
submissions in one month is a record. We praise the Lord for these
opportunities to serve and be a part of the Gospel music community and
look forward to many more days of service.
