The Sing Me A Story Foundation

[T.C. Elliott]

http://www.singmeastory.org is a site where you can see pictures/stories from children throughout the world. The idea is that songwriters will write a song based on/inspired by a story. If you submit a song you agree to share half of any proceeds from the song with the foundation. A few on-line friends have written songs for the site and yesterday I uploaded the first I've written/recorded. It occurred to me that this community is among the most creative on the net and that someone here might be interested in writing a song for them. The link above is where you can see stories, songs and sign up if you so choose. There is also a facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Singmeastory  and here is an article from the American Songwriter magazine: http://www.americansongwriter.com/2012/02/sing-me-a-story-foundation-helps-children-find-their-voice/

Thanks T.C.
I just signed up so I guess I wait till contacted? It sounds like a great idea to me and I'm always looking for inspiration.
Rock on!

They will email you when they activate your account. But you can view the stories and see which ones already have songs right now. You can write a song for a story that already has a song, but I've been reading/looking at stories without songs to try and spread the love around.

I hope you enjoy it. I know I did.
