"Endless Sky," Part Duex?

got an encouraging email yesterday.

As you may remember, last year I wrote, recorded, and submitted my song, "Endless Sky," for the 2010 ASCAP Foundation Jay Gorney Award. And ss you may remember, I did not win. I did, however, take the song and - with the help of friends around the country - created what I think is a powerful video highlighting areas of our nation that are suffering from severe economic hardship. You can view it here. (You can also receive the song as a free download when you sign my mailing list.)

So, I got an email yesterday from Peter Bliss, the professional activities coordinator for the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Peter was in charge of the songwriters workshop that I participated in last year, and it was through him that I learn of, and submitted to, the 2010 award. Well, he's now recommending that I re-submit my song to be considered for this year's award. I appreciate that he thinks my song is worth a second look, and nine months after we recorded it, I'm still very proud of the final product.

We shall see...
