Our friend Stolie has told us about another song challenge for February 2010. She says that "The RPM Challenge" is simple! Record an album in 28 days, just because you can. That’s 10 songs or 35 minutes of original material recorded during the month of February.
Thanks for the tip Stolie! We will pass it on!
We checked out their website: http://www.rpmchallenge.com/ and here is what they say:
"
1860+ signed-up and RPM 2010 is ON!
