Deland Original Music Festival, Deland, FloridaDeland Original Music Festival 2009 November 14th, 20009 Produced by the Songwriters Showcase of America www.ssa.cc At the heart of a song is an idea, and at the center of the idea is a sincere attempt for a sensitive soul, to take this thing called life, with all it's passion, angst, pleasure and pain, and make an electrical connection to another soul. Using carefully selected words, and skillfully inspired melodies, the songwriter fuses the two together to make a statement that reaches out and connects with a listener, and at that moment, a connection of understanding takes place for both souls. If a song reaches your soul, be it country, rap, hip-hop, punk, rock, jazz, soul, fusion, or whatever the genre' it is wrapped up in, then the songwriter's task has been successful! How do I know this? I am a recovering singer/songwriter myself, and I plan on doing whatever I can,using the skills I have, to support singer/songwriters, and original bands, and the SSA, to keep the spirit alive for future generations! It's all about the original song. There is no better place to see this spirit, as the Deland Original Music Festival in November. Festival Organizer Phil Weidner, President of the Songwriter's Showcase of America , SSA (www.ssa.cc) has championed this festival for 9 years, along with a troup of his trusted event staff. I have seen this festival evolve for the past 6 years, and I have to say that this one was the biggest and best ever.
