Announcing an Internet web site for the Bible Sabbath
Musicians Association, located at [ www.sabbathmusic.org ].
The BSMA is an organization of sabbatarian musicians and those
with related music interests. It serves both its own
membership and the sabbatarian community of believers. Founded
by Robin Todd a few months ago to help foster an environment
of cooperation and brotherhood amongst the many
sabbath-keeping congregations through music, the group opens
its web site with 32 members from around the world. Many more
have expressed a strong desire to join, but have yet to visit
the new web site or return information through the mail. The
organization has kept a pretty low-profile while working to
bring up this web site.
The BSMA now offers on-line membership with a simple
questionnaire that takes only a few minutes to complete. There
is no membership fee. The only requirement is to share the
goals of the organization, which you can read on the Home page
and by clicking on the "Welcome" link.
There are working links for 1) CDs and cassettes produced by
sabbatarian artists, 2) List of members with some basic
information about each, 3) and the membership
questionnaire. Robin welcomes any new information about
recording artists not yet posted.
Yet to come is a message board, music news from within the
community, other types of music available (such as sheet
music, lyrics, etc.), and products available to help those who
want to delve into the world of songwriting, recording,
etc.
There is much to do and seemingly so little time to get it
done. Robin and his wife, Liz, will at times just need to inch
along. However, at least one of the items of business
absolutely necessitates the input of membership and others in
the community, and that is the reporting of musical
events. The BSMA obviously cannot report on every special
music performance on any given weekly sabbath, but some
reportable events might be: 1) invitations to local talent
nights, 2) interdenominational or open fellowship concerts, 3)
special guest performances by sabbatarian recording artists,
4) music announcements revolving around festivals,
conventions, etc. Start sending those in for posting anytime
now.
If you're not on the Internet, but would like to become a
member of the BSMA or know more about them, write to: BSMA,
6413 Stephan Ct. S.E., Lacey, WA 98503. Please take note, very
soon Robin's email address will change from robinsyngs@aol.com
to robinsings1@attbi.com. If the first doesn't work, try the
second.
