And have any of you ever had a southern Gospel group or soloist sing one of your songs?
I have written several recently and perform them myself but have not yet had anyone else ask to sing them.

I have wrote a few songs, but I doubt they are good enough to have anyone record...:( I started by writting in my journal some poetry and things like that. Maybe someday somebody will record them. That would be so neat. hehehehe

There are some amazing songwriters out there, some of whom you never heard of, and probably never will. There's hardly a week goes by that I don't get at least one CD with original songs from someone trying to get their songs recorded. Some are FANTASTIC others are ok. It's hard to tell someone that their song won't cut it when they have put a large part of themselves into the song. While it might be very special to the writer, it has to work fo rme and the artist or it's just taking up space on a project. Brutal? yes..but its a fact. Not all songs that a writer is inspired to write is made to be recorded, some songs are therapy for the writer I believe.

We're always looking for straight up quartet songs, even though we probably wont get you anywhere.

I'll be happy to go back through some of the CD's and see what's good and get them to you. I'm not worried about you all "getting me anywhere" if its a good song then someone needs to be singing it, not laying in my filing cabinet.

I have written many songs and I sing some of them at my church. I really have no idea what to do with them, although some people from other churches have told me I should record them.??? I think you have to have an agent for that don't you? Anyways, I love writing and would love it if those songs could be a blessing to others as well. God gave them to me for a reason, therapy maybe, but a definate time of communion with God! If an author writes a book, he hopes someone will pull it off the shelf and read it. If a songwriter writes a song, he hopes someone will hear it!

I too have written a few songs. Several quartets that I have sang with have performed them live. I just never go any further than that.

I've had some of my songs published through two different publishers but only one recorded at this point. It was co-written with a friend of mine and recorded by the Dixie Echoes. It charted at #52 on Singing News Chart. "Tree of Life." It was also recorded by country/bluegrass singer Joe Paul Nichols who performs at Grand Old Opry.

I've written several, had one recorded by a group called CrossBridge Quartet from MS. They cut my song "I Found Mercy." A review of the CD with a brief mention of my song is here. Last I heard, the Gospel Harmony Boys were working on it as well.

Sounds like a good song Wes! Here's a page with a sound clip of your song:

I've written probably 100 songs.
we have recorded most of them.
I never really tried to get my songs to anyone else. We just sang them until a preacher friend took one of my songs to a major group and they recorded it, and it was nominated for song of the year in 2006 .
I have since had other songs recorded by smaller groups and got a call from a group the other day wanting to record a new song that I have just written.
To God be the glory.

Brother Fletcher is an awesome song writer. I just received his family's latest CD and there are several gems on it!
