-----------January 26, 2007My First Singing News Article![]() The February Singing News is out now. On page 76, you can read a review of Allison Durham Speer's This Old House, my first CD review for the magazine. Hopefully, it's the first of many to come. I'm always a bit worried when I submit an article to a publication that I haven't dealt with previously. You never know what might be changed. Some reviews I wrote for Christian Book Distributors several years ago are considerably different from what I originally submitted, for example. I had an editor there who took the "edit" part of her title seriously, but hey, I didn't complain because she paid great! Other articles I've written for publication in the past have been printed with no editing at all...and some needed editing to correct a word spelled wrong here or there or to fix some minor sentence structure problem that I didn't notice. Well, I'm VERY happy to report that Singing News only made two very minor alterations to the review I submitted. These more or less canceled out, as one was of no particular consequence and one only made it slightly worse. The word "though" was removed from the end of one sentence...no big deal, because the sentence didn't really need the word and reads just fine without it. They also changed my correct spelling of "Sandi Patty" to "Sandi Patti." Of course, Patty's own record company spelled her name wrong on her recordings for years until she finally put her foot down, so I suppose that's an understandable mistake.
