I entered the Sing4TheTrees songwriting contest!

I had to pick one song and it seemed most appropriate to enter The Forest & the Mist.

 

There will be 8 winners from ReverbNation (which I belong to and through which I learned of the opportunity) who will be part of a Sing4theTrrees compilation CD. If I recall the info correctly, one grand prize winner also gets moolah. I wouldn’t  mind that.

 

The judge is Chick Leavell, the keyboardist for the Rolling Stones. I am a huge Stones fan as probably are all contestants. Irrelevant as far as chances to win go but had to say…love them.

 

I read in the info about the contest that it’s intended to help (fund raise, must be) with a serious situation I wasn’t aware existed. Some beetle is ravaging our forests and a lot of them have been lost! Healthy forests are crucial to the entire ecosystem, to avoiding fires, etc. The existence of flourishing forests is crucial to things like topsoil and how arable the land is, and so on. So this made sense to try for this contest. Hopefully I can help via my art in the solution to this threat to our forests and those who depend upon them and live around them.

 

Wish me luck! And I’ll keep you posted.
