NEW MUSIC CONCEPT TO BE LAUNCHED ON INTERNET

New Mexico Entertainer Aims To Bring Songwriting To The World

 

An enterprising new music concept is about to be launched on the internet. Titled “Song & Story Weekly”, it is the brainchild of Las Vegas, New Mexico based singer/songwriter Jim Terr.

With his music actively presented and viewed on YouTube (where he has notched up almost one million hits), Terr decided to create this internet concept to share his passion for songwriting – not only with fellow songwriters but others who enjoy music and want to dig a little deeper into how songs are created.

With many hundreds of original songs to credit, the first dating back to his 1970s bluegrass band days, he cites “Song & Story Weekly” as his most exciting project to date. “It’ll be an exploration of songwriting” Terr explains. “I want to talk about how songs are written, their inspiration and background, and such. But more than that, I would like ‘Song & Story Weekly’ to develop into a discussion forum where ideas can be exchanged, maybe even a songwriting ‘classroom’ for friends, or even families.”

Jim Terr’s opening introductory program will be available on Wednesday, April 16, featuring the song You’re Not The Only One.  The programs will subsequently appear four times a week - different songs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday and, on Saturdays, a song with more emphasis on songwriting considerations and discussions.

The initial songs to be performed are those featured in Terr’s humorous, highly praised book “You Got To be Stupid To Sing Country Music (& Other Unusual Song Lyrics)”, originally published in 1988 but soon to be re-promoted with a cd featuring the songs. 

The programmes will be available FREE to subscribers on a dedicated YouTube channel or through the website, www.SongAndStoryWeekly.com. Email notification of new songs will also be provided, if requested.

Jim Terr is one of New Mexico’s most versatile entertainers. Known primarily as a singer/songwriter, he’s also a nationally broadcast satirist, a record producer, music publisher and documentary filmmaker.  He’s worked with top rated musicians Steve Young and Junior Brown, Hollywood character actor Slim Pickens, provided soundtrack music for the 1988 remake of “And God Created Woman”, and produced advertising jingles heard both regionally and nationally. In addition he has produced numerous videos on YouTube with praise for his songs coming from such award winning luminaries as Bobby Braddock and Tom T. Hall – whom he hopes to interview for the series. 

Now intent on developing “Song & Story Weekly” into his biggest project, Jim Terr is determined to create worldwide interest for songwriters. “Without a song, there would be no artists, yet how many people know much about songwriters and their craft” he says. “It’s my intent that ‘Song & Story Weekly’ will rectify that situation. Writing songs is incredible fun, and a great vehicle for self-expression, and a wonderful career for those who get good enough at it”.

The initial series will be sponsored by a group of tourism-related businesses in Terr's home town and state, which several of his YouTube productions are geared to promoting.
