Internet: Websites for LDS Musicians

NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- With the popularity of MP3 services, the growth of websites for individual artists has grown substantially. It seems every musician has his own website, and several services, including mp3.com, provide a way for musicians to post their own information. There are many LDS artists among the group.

The sites we feature this week include several LDS musician's websites that have come to our attention recently, including two hosted on mp3.com. Also included is choir music publisher Copy Pack Music and Margo Edgeworth, a composer who won the New Era magazine's music contest six years in a row.
