ATTENTION ALL MUSICIANS, ARTISTS, BANDS, SINGERS, SONGWRITTERS, CREATIVE MINDS, ETC..

I AM HONORED TO ANNOUNCE THE START OF OUR NEW PROJECT.

IT HAS BEEN MY EXERIENCE WHILE WORKING ON THIS PAGE, THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE ALSO WRITTEN SONGS IN HONOR OF THE TROOPS. HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO GET YOUR SONG HEARD BY THE SOLDIERS AND THE REST OF AMERICA.

WE ARE ORGANIZING THE RELEASE OF A MILITARY TRIBUTE ALBUM. THE ALBUM WILL CONSIST OF SONGS SUBMITTED BY ARTISTS WHO WISH TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT TO OUR UNITED STATES MILITARY THROUGH THE POWER OF MUSIC. WE ARE TAKING SONG SUBMISSIONS OF ALL GENRES AND STYLES. WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT AS DIVERSE AS POSSIBLE SO THAT THERE IS SOMETHING FOR EVERY EAR ON THIS ALBUM. WE'VE ALREADY GOTTEN A FEW ARTISTS SIGNED ON FOR THE PROJECT, SOME OF WHICH ARE SOLDIERS THEMSELVES.

OUR INITIAL GOAL IS TO START WITH A PRINT UP OF 5,000 COPIES TO BE SHIPPED OVERSEAS TO THE SERVING MEN AND WOMEN TO LET THEM KNOW HOW MUCH WE APPRECIATE THEIR SACRAFICES AND THEIR COMMITMENT TO KEEPING OUR NATION FREE. MONEY RAISED FROM THE SALES OF THE ALBUMS WILL BE DONATED TO FORGOTTEN SOLDIERS OUTREACH. (YES, THEY HAVE THE SAME NAME AS US..IT'S VERY COOL) www.forgottensoldiers.org THEY ARE BASED IN LAKE WORTH, FLORIDA AND SEND APPROXIMATLY $15,000 WORTH OF CARE PACKAGES OVERSEAS TO OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN EVERY MONTH!!!! I AM VERY EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO HELP THEM WITH THEIR CAUSE. PLEASE VISIT THEIR WEBSITE TO SEE HOW YOU CAN HELP.

OF COURSE, IN ORDER TO GET THIS PROJECT GOING, WE WILL NEED TO DO SOME FUND RAISING OURSELVES. THE COST OF PRINTING UP 5,000 COPIES OF THE ALBUM IS OVER $5,250. IF YOU ARE INVOLVED WITH ANY ORGANIZATIONS OR COMPANIES THAT WOULD LIKE TO HELP WITH THIS COST, WE WOULD BE MORE THAN GREATFUL. I AM ALSO ENCOURAGING SOCIAL GROUPS AND BANDS TO DO FUNDRAISING FOR THIS. (YOU KNOW, THE EVER POPULAR "CHARITY CONCERT".) THIS IS A PROJECT THAT EVERYONE CAN TAKE PART IN. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HELPING IN THIS ASPECT, PLEASE EMAIL ME AT FORGOTTENSOLDIERS2009@YAHOO.COM WITH THE TITLE "FUNDRAISER".

ABOUT SONG SUBMISSIONS:

----PLEASE SEND ALL SONG SUBMISSIONS TO FORGOTTENSOLDIERS2009@YAHOO.COM

WE REQUEST THAT THEY BE SENT IN WAV FORMAT. THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE MIXED OR MASTERED. WE HAVE THE BEST ENGINEER IN THE BUSINESS AT OUR RECORDING STUDIO AND HE WILL TAKE CARE OF ALL OF THAT. BUT WE DO ASK THAT YOU MAKE THE RECORDING THE BEST QUALITY POSSIBLE.

----PLEASE TRY TO KEEP ALL SONG SUBMISSIONS UNDER FIVE (5) MINUTES LONG.

----WE ONLY WANT ORIGINAL SONGS. NO COVERS. MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT USING ANY COPYRIGHTED SAMPLES OR BEATS.

----FOR ARTISTIC REASONS, WE WILL ALLOW PROFANITY, BUT PLEASE TRY TO KEEP IT TO A MINIMUM. (OUR SOLDIERS HAVE FOUGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH BUT NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO HEAR YOU SCREAMING FUCK AND SHIT)

----I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO SAY THIS, BUT, NO MILITARY, PRESIDENT OR GOVERNMENT BASHING. WE WANT SONGS THAT ARE UPLIFTING AND ENCOURAGING. LET THE SOLDIERS KNOW YOU ARE FIGHTING WITH THEM, NOT AGAINST THEM. SONGS WITH A "HIGH SCHOOL PEP RALLY" FEEL TO THEM (GO! FIGHT! WIN!) ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED.

----TITLE ALL EMAIL HEADINGS WITH "SONG SUBMISSION". EASIER TO SORT THEM OUT THAT WAY. AND BESURE TO ENCLUDE ALL OF YOUR INFORMATION. ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, EMAIL ADDRESS, WEBSITE URLS, NAMES, ETC....AND OF COURSE, DON'T FORGET TO ATTACH YOUR SONG. IF YOU ARE SIMPLY EMAILING US WITH QUESTIONS, PLEASE TITLE THE EMAIL "SONG QUESTIONS". AND PLEASE ONLY SEND EMAILS REGARDING THE PROJECT TO THE YAHOO ACCOUNT FORGOTTENSOLDIERS2009@YAHOO.COM

----WE HAVE NOT YET SET A DEADLINE FOR THIS PROJECT. SO IF YOU DON'T CURRENTLY HAVE A SONG, YOU HAVE TIME TO WRITE ONE.

WE WILL CONTACT YOU IF WE CHOOSE YOUR SONG. CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR WHAT YOU ALL HAVE.

ARTISTS!!!!

ALBUMS NEED ARTWORK. IF YOU ARE AN ARTIST; PAINTER, PHOTOGRAPHER, ETC...PLEASE SEND IN YOUR SUBMISSIONS FOR THE ALBUM COVERS. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU OWN ALL THE RIGHTS TO THE ARTWORK AND THAT IT IS YOUR OWN ORGINAL WORK. FIGURE OUT THE EASIEST WAY YOU CAN EMAIL US A PICTURE OF YOUR PICTURE. IF WE CHOOSE YOUR ARTWORK, YOU MAY NEED TO ACTUALLY MAIL US A HARDCOPY. EMAIL ALL OF YOUR SUBMISSIONS TO FORGOTTENSOLDIERS2009@YAHOO.COM WITH THE TITLE "ART SUBMISSION". WE WILL CONTACT YOU IF WE CHOOSE TO USE YOUR ARTWORK.

DON'T SING, PLAY AN INSTRUMENT OR DRAW????

THIS ALBUM WILL NEED A TITLE!!! HAVE A GREAT NAME FOR A MILITARY/SUPPORT THE TROOPS ALBUM?? SEND IT TO US! EMAIL IT TO FORGOTTENSOLDIERS2009@YAHOO.COM EMAIL TITLE "ALBUM NAME".

I WANT THIS TO BE AN ALL AMERICAN ALBUM...BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE!!!

I FEEL, THE MORE PEOPLE INVOLVED, THE MORE SPECIAL IT IS. AND THIS WAY EVERYONE HAS A CHANCE TO LEND THEIR HAND IN SUPPORTING THIS PROJECT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

SO....GET TO WORK AMERICA!!! LET ME HEAR AND SEE WHAT YOU'VE GOT!!! I'M SO VERY VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT! EVERYONE WHO HELPS WILL BE RECOGNIZED ON THE ALBUM. NO ONE WILL BE LEFT OUT!

BE SURE TO CHECK BACK PERIODICALLY FOR MORE UPDATES AS THIS PROJECT UNFOLDS.

P.S. WHEN MAKING YOUR SUBMISSION, PLEASE BE SURE TO LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN THE MILITARY OR IF YOU ARE A VETERAN.

SINCERELY,
