Welcome to folklinks.com®





We are very pleased to be publishing a second essay on the art and craft of songwriting by Nashville singer-songwriter Holly Tashian.

In bringing you Holly's suggestions on how to critique your song, we are following up her popular essay on "Tricking your muse," which a number of readers said they found entertaining and useful.

Holly's essays continue the commitment of our site to provide a forum for those who love folk and acoustic music to share their insights, experiences, and tips on how to participate and grow in the spirit of this special community.

If you read something on folklinks.com that leads you to want to share a similar experience or expertise of your own, we would love to hear from you. Send an e-mail to the editor, and he will respond.

We apologize for not having been able to add reviews or update links in the past year. We are looking for a new Webmaster since founding Webmaster Dan Beach has been more than busy with the many sites he designs and maintains. Be sure to check out Dan's work at Studio 8H.

Your editor has been busy teaching and writing, but is hoping to team up with a Webmaster who is willing to hand code HTML and generally maintain the site as Dan designed it. We are open to something of a new look, but value positive comments we've received on the simplicity and accessibility of the site.

If you love folk music and have Web design and HTML skills, please e-mail the editor for details.

Our mission continues to be to provide an informed Web presence for folk and acoustic music performers, presenters, organizations, radio shows, Webcasts, magazines, business services, and all friends of folk and acoustic music.

We would not be able to do this without some special people. Many thanks to charter sponsor Micah Solomon of Oasis CD Manufacturing. Additional thanks to Sing Out! magazine, to which we link through a donated ad, and C. F. Martin & Co., to which we link through the Martin 000-18 (the editor owns a 1973 model)that has become our logo.

If you would like to be informed when we add new material, please leave us your e-mail address in the box to the left. We promise not to spam or share the list. Thank you for your continued support.
