Editor's Musings:
I unfortunately have some very sad news to report this month, folks. Suzanne Glass, the founder of Indie-Music.com , passed away the week of October 22nd after a battle with cancer. There's more information on this along with comments from various people paying their respects on the Indie-Music.com blog.
I was really sad to hear this news. Personally, I had no idea she was even sick, but I get the feeling I wasn't the only one in the dark about it and I understand that such things are very private between the person fighting the battle and their closest loved ones. I knew Suzanne mostly in passing through a few emails every now and again when we would cross-promote our websites. She was a sweet, generous person from what I knew of her and our corner of the web is left a little less bright without her. I hope you'll go to the Indie-Music.com website and pay your respects if you knew her - or knew of her and her contribution to the independent music scene. She was a very special lady.
In other news, there are only a couple of raffle winners this month - which means that those of you who have neglected to write to me up until now, are missing out. There's lots of raffle prizes to give away. So if you want one, follow the instructions below and write to me already! :)
The raffle winners this month are:
  • Steve Bills from St. Marys, WV, has won a downloadable version of Rhyme Genie, a dynamic rhyming dictionary featuring over 300,000 entries and 30 different rhyme types.
  • Richard Thomsen from Vadnais Heights, MN, has won a ZEEDIS, pocket-sized, circular slide rule for finding the notes of chords, scales, modes and also for finding diatonic triads of scales/modes, instantly and easily. Thanks, GuitarScalesAndChords.com! What a great tool!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR POTENTIAL RAFFLE WINNERS:
If you'd like to be considered for a raffle prize yourself, have a look at the various prizes offered at the top of The Muse's News webpage, decide which prizes you'd most like, and email me with your top two choices along with your mailing address so that I can get the prizes to you. Yes, it's really that simple. :) (And yes, the mailing address is kinda important. I promise it won't be used for any other reason than to send you your raffle prize - and to mention your approximate location in the notice of raffle winners you see above here.)
Make every day count, my friends.
All the best,
--Jodi
