Description

Welcome! On this page, we would like to share some of our history and let you know how and why we developed this website. SongU.com grew out of a passion for songwriting and a respect for learning. Here's how...

When Danny and I (Sara) met in 1988, we were both graduate students at Rutgers University in New Jersey. I was completing a Masters degree in education and Danny was working on his Masters thesis in computer music. At the time, our musical tastes differed quite a bit, but that didn't stop us from falling in love with each other. We also discovered a common interest in songwriting.

In 1989, on an ASCAP scholarship, Danny attended a week-long songwriting retreat run by Billy Edd Wheeler ("Coward of the County") called "The Great Smokies Song Chase" in Swannanoa, NC. He returned excited and amazed by the fact that there were other songwriters all over the country experiencing similar feelings about songwriting as we were. He also met an incredible faculty of professional songwriters and publishers who were willing to take the time out of their busy schedules to share their knowledge and mentor new and aspiring writers. Billy Edd asked Danny to develop some music classes for songwriters and return the next summer as part of the faculty. I, his new bride, returned with him that summer and every summer for the next three years of the retreat's existence (it has since evolved into the "Swannanoa Gathering"). In the meantime, I had started taking lyric writing classes in New York with well-known songwriting instructor, Sheila Davis, author of "The Craft Of Lyric Writing.” Sheila became another mentor to me, and I began to understand that songwriting is a craft in which our skills can be fine-tuned and improved.
