Here is an action shot from last night's showcase at Mainline Brewery in RVA. A good time was had by all! L-R: Steve Nuckolls, Sarah Dell, Dean Collings and Brandon Russ

Thanks to everyone who attended the meeting on February 25.  We spent time discussing how we each come up with melodies for our songs, and as expected there were many different methods:  chords first, melody first then chords, or just coming with tunes in our heads.  It was interesting to hear everyone's take.
