"The Times They Are'a Changin'"
Bob Dylan had no idea how much.
TSAI is making some changes, too!
Due to low turn-out for events and meetings these days,
and frankly too many Awards shows,
this year's Award winners will be announced as planned on
Wednesday May 4, live on our facebook page.
The winners in attendance, or watching live, will receive
trophies at an Awards presentation at a later date.
We hope both of these will take place on our Jammin' At The Creek shows,
but they are still scheduling those. If not, then at our office, times to be determined.
We will also not have a regular Wednesday meeting now. Instead, we'll have
workshops, critiques, and most pitches, as they come up.
Most will be on our website or facebook page.
Some may be live, some on Weds nights.
We are open during the day now, with our Playlist there for Industry access.
This will also get more pitch options during the day for you.
Songs Pitched and Songs Picked-up pages will be updated for you, too.

The Chicago Bears host the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football, and while both teams have had a rough week with players heading to their Reserve COVID-19 lists, the Bears have been hit especially hard. As of this writing the Bears have 12 total players on their Reserve COVID-19 list while the Vikings have 6. The Vikings are also luckier this week when it comes to the injury department, and the extra rest from last playing back on Thursday, December 9, may have done them well.
