| Your Song Listeners, Friends, Lovers, and Others: I'm writing to find out who among you can commission me to compose a piece of music. Said piece would be dedicated to YOU...or to the person or entity of your choice. Sound promising? If you are familiar with my music, you know my range of compositional styles: blues, bop, swing, ballad, ragtime, trance, boogie-woogie, salon, tango. The choice is yours! What I am always after is the strong melodic line. I can promise you that. (If you've not encountered my music, I urge you to go to www.joelforrester.com...and listen!) My basic fee will be $50 (or 50€) for each composition--although, if you are flush, a bit more will be graciously accepted! Here's what you'll get: a home-made recording of your piece, sent to your email address, plus a picture of the score--with date and dedication prominent--suitable for printing. Does this idea appeal? If so, write me—joelforrester@hotmail.com—with your choice of style and I'll get on the case! And, after you've received your tune, here is how you'll pay me: If you live in the US, make out a check to JOEL FORRESTER, mark it FOR DEPOSIT ONLY, and mail it to this address: Donald Elfman, 116 Montrose Av, Unit i, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010 If you live in Europe (or beyond), send the check to me directly: JOEL FORRESTER 7 rue des Bains 69009 LYON France. I have a PayPal account (based on my email address)if you prefer that method. As with many a musician, paying-gigs are just a lovely memory at the moment. My work, these days, is writing new music. I'd love to be able to turn this to account. With your help, that can happen. Love from Lyon, Joel ps., If you know other listeners who might be interested, please help me publicize this appeal: pass it on! write your comments about the article :: © 2020 Jazz News :: home page |
