Designing our own pizza for dinner... creative!

Next time we do a Songwriters Retreat in this lovely location, I hope YOU will come along. We so enjoyed the luxury of time to spend together, with few interruptions, to focus on our creative endeavors!

Songwriters Salon in Sedona – 1/22/09

By on January 17, 2009 in Songwriters Events

Songwriters Salon in Sedona (Arizona) — And it’s FREE!

Our good friend, and a terrific supporter of musicians and songwriters for many years, *Anita Rosenfield, has graciously invited John Braheny (author of the best-selling “The Craft and Business of Songwriting” book), to speak and critique songs (chosen at random) at her home in Sedona, Arizona, on Thursday afternoon, January 22, 2009, from 4:00-7:00pm. It’s free, very casual … and we hope to see you there!

To RSVP, and for address and directions, leave a message at  (818) 528-5152 — or email:  arosenfield@esedona.net.

Bring a CD and lyric sheets, but know that opportunities to have a song critiqued will be limited by time.
Private consultations ($125 hr.) will be available. To schedule: email: john@johnbraheny.com.

*Personal note:

John knew Anita (“Teeta”) from his folk-singing days, back in Minneapolis, (the University district was called Dinkytown). She managed/booked the folk club where John — and others performed — including Jeff Espina and Koerner, Ray & Glover and Judy Larson … and anybody else who was on the scene, including Bob Dylan, circa early ’60s. Below is a photo of us reuniting with Teeta … in the 1980’s, on Venice Beach, California.
