Peace Talks Radio Raffle

Deaconlight alum Paul Ingles is coordinating the third annual "Peace Guitar" raffle for Peace Talks Radio. Your donation of $20 (or more) helps fund the program and the raffle winner gets a new autographed guitar with some cool signatures (Peter Frampton, Judy Collins, Emmylou Harris, Sarah McLachlan, Andrew Bird and more).

Even if the guitar is not something you'd think you'd keep if you won, consider gifting it to a musician friend OR putting it on eBay to generate some cash for you. The winner of Peace Talk Radio's first raffle sold the autographed guitar for $400 to a collector.

Peace Talks is radio show and website devoted to non-partisan talk about peace that Paul started in 2003.

ROCKRGRL Carla DeSantis Black Launches MEOWgazine Magazine

January 23, 2012 -- Austin, TX -- MEOW (Musicians for Equal Opportunities for Women) announced today that the groundbreaking organization has launched MEOWgazine, a daily updated web site featuring interviews, news, event coverage and more at www.meowonline.org.

Founded by the world's leading advocate for women in music, Carla DeSantis Black, MEOWgazine not only promises to be the foremost destination for information and networking, but also a way to ensure that women in music have an increasing number of opportunities. Since going live on January 2nd, the site has received more than 25,000 hits.

Black became a prominent figure in the music industry as the editor and publisher of ROCKRGRL Magazine (1995-2005). The ROCKRGRL archive was acquired in 2008 by Schlesinger Library at Harvard University/Radcliffe Institute as part of its exhaustive collection on American Women's History.

"MEOWgazine picks up where ROCKRGRL left off," Black explains. "So many female musicians are still considered a novelty or diminished by overly-sexualized images. The media still has a hard time taking women seriously as artists. They would rather focus on who they date and what they wear. MEOWgazine will level the playing field and inspire female musicians — especially those who are just starting out."
