Are you a songwriter or a Fan of them?

My name is Timothy Hollis and I am looking to pass along some information about a website that I have been involved with for some time now. The owner of the company is Victor Valorani & he has come up with the idea to develop a website to bring Nashville’s songwriters back to the fore-front! The website is nashvilleonhold.com and it is a subscription-based site that allows anyone/everyone to listen to Songwriter’s Demos that have been put “On Hold” and forgotten about. Currently, we are hosting Craig Karp a veteran songwriter here in Nashville, TN. We will add more & more songwriters as they come to us! The site will be completely free for the next two weeks until April 5th, 2006. Please come and enjoy the music!

Speaking of songwriters, just wondering if anybody knows what Shane Minor has been doing? I had the opportunity to sing w/ him at a concert in Wisconsin once. Just curious.

That's cool, too bad he's not playing any gigs in Nashville. I'll be down there the beginning of June. It would be nice to see him again. Thanks for the info.

I have Shane's Cd that he put a few years ago and really thought we would hear more from him. He's very talented. Glad he has stayed in the business.

Is there any possibility that you know how to get in touch with Shane? Also, does he have at least one song that was in the top ten music charts? I would like to feature him on the site if he has. We have recently added a new songwriter, Essra Mohawk, a long-time writer! Thanks for any help that you can provide.
