Congratulations
to the 2011, GospelSongwriter.Com Awards winners.
Honor Award
= Dee Gaskin
Presidents
Award = Phil Cross
GospelSongwriter.Com
Awards consist of both the Honor and Presidents award. The recipient of
the Honor Award is decided by the writers (G-team) of
GospelSongwriter.Com and the recipient of the Presidents Award is
decided by the president of GospelSongwriter.Com Mickey Mixon.
The G-team
not only nominated and voted but was also required to explain why their
choice for the recipient of the Honor Award was worthy, and judging by
their comments
Dee
is more than worthy. Mickey chose the recipient of the Presidents Award
similarly, someone he believes contributes and makes a difference in the
Gospel music community, and Phil has and does.
Other Honor
Award nominees included Paul Heil, Gerald Crabb, Niles Borop, Linda
Barton, and Mickey Mixon, although Mickey declined for obvious reasons.
Mickey said, “I’m honored but no thank you, maybe in the future I
will feel comfortable receiving the award but for now there are others
far more deserving”.
The awards
will be presented to Dee and Phil on Sunday evening, March 6, 2011
during the Gospel Songwriters Convention in
Nashville, TN. You can learn more about the convention as well as
contact and congratulate Dee and Phil online via the links below.
Congratulations
Dee and Phil, we honor, love and appreciate you both.

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.

501 Artists
When Mickey Mixon launched
GospelSongwriter.com in 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!!!
