Christian Copyright Licensing, Inc. (aka CCLI, part 7)

We use CCLI to get our words on screen each week.  All the song composers license their songs for use through CCLI.  I am now a license holder with CCLI too… finally.  Check out the proof below.

Challenge 2, Issued

The second challenge in the Masters of Song Fu competition has been issued.  Please to find the details below.  Either they’ve been ‘reading our mail,’ or have inadvertently stepped into a realm of pain Bryan is certain to unleash.  One doesn’t have to look too far down Column A to know what I mean.  We begin again.  More to come as it emerges.

Write a song that utilizes a repeating syllable (ex: la, na, doo, etc.). The syllable must repeat at least 5 times in a row (ex: la la la la la). The resulting “repeated syllable” phrase can appear anywhere in your song, but must be repeated in full at least 3 times within the song. Also, this challenge includes a thematic element. Your song must feature a conflict between two (2) elements, provided below. You must choose one (1) element from COLUMN A and one (1) element from COLUMN B.

We’re a “go” for Round 2

To Serve Mankind will be progressing to Round 2 in the Masters of Song Fu competition! Thanks to many of your votes. We appreciate them. Our next song challenge will be presented on or around June 16. We have that week to compose and produce a recording to submit for another round of voting. So enjoy this brief reprieve and check back here for real life updates. Blogging will again be temporarily disrupted between June 23-30 for Round 2 updates.

Keep those fingers crossed

Voting for The Masters of Song Fu songwriting competition is now closed for Round 1. Last I checked, To Serve Mankind was actually in 5th place. Hopefully, we stayed there through Life Group and will move on to round 2. I’m not sure if there will be critique from the administrators, or if non-original music submissions will be accepted or not (see Lex Friedman’s “Inspector Gadget” ripoff), but regardless of the results, Bryan and I are glad you all took the time to support us and the song we created for Round 1. It was a lot of fun to make, and share. I’ll let you know if we progress as soon as I find out. Thanks again, friends.
