Hello NTMA Gang,

Up until now this email group has been set up so that only the
moderator could post messages to the group. This was done to
prevent people's mail boxes from getting filled up. However, lately
I have been getting the strong feeling that it's time to open up the
group as a means for all of us to communicate and connect with one
another.

So from now on anyone who is a member may post to the entire group;
this is an excellent way to ask questions of each other, share and
support, announce if you have a need for a musician for a particular
date, looking for a particular type of sheet music, etc, etc. What
this means is that anything you post to the group will be received
by the entire group!

THE WAY YOU DO THIS is to go to the group's home page and click on
the "POST" option at the left hand side of the page. You access the
home page one of three ways:

1. By going to the web address:
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/NewThoughtMusicAlliance/post
OR
2. By doing a web search for Yahoo Groups, then typing in "New
Thought Music Alliance" once you are on the Yahoo Groups page.
OR
3. Hitting "reply" to any email that has come from the group.

IF you decide you do not want to get messages from everybody in the
group and only want important updates from me, you can chose that
option through the group website. Let me know if you have trouble
with this.

If you want to contact me personally, or contact another member of
the group, please use the membership page to access the private
email address of that person.

***TOURING MUSICIANS: please DO NOT POST YOUR ENTIRE TOUR SCHEDULE
TO THE GROUP! If you want to share multiple gig locations, please
POST A LINK to your schedule.

Thanks gang. Hope this new change brings greater opportunities and
connection for us all.
Thanks for being a part of this organization while it evolves and
grows in its own time, in its own way!
