Deb Cavanaugh, the recipient of a "Meet the Composers" grant, was recently a semi-finalist in the annual national JPFolks lyric contest.

It was truly an honor to be a part of this event. It was a wonderful opportunity to think about my songs and songwriting in a different light. Thanks to Ferrilyn and Scott for hosting.
