How We Started:
A Song For The Day started first as a conversation among friends about new music and wanting to share with friends. It has since blossomed from a blog with a couple of friends working on it to a blog where there is a plethora of regular posters, plus some guest bloggers who, after reading this blog, were inspired to share their musical stylings!
