Dear bashar007,


Among the many people and companies on the web that offer custom
songwriting, it is difficult to find any that are mentioned outside
their own website. One exception is Kelli Fusaro, who appears in a Knight
Ridder/Tribune Business News article. The news venue is highly reputable,
and although the article is not a review of Ms. Fusaro's songwriting
abilities, it does demonstrate that she is known for her work.

QVC to Sell CD Cards.

Kelli Fusaro offers custom songwriting, starting at $950, through her
company, Sound Expressions. You can receive a song preview by email, and
a full-quality recording on CD by regular mail. You can easily extract
the digital file from the CD using software such as Blaze Media Pro,
and convert it into the format of your choice for emailing.

For a much less expensive solution, consider Paul Gilvary's custom
songwriting service, called Song Bokays. The standard price of $99
includes song delivery on CD. Paul Gilvary is active in the Chicago
theater scene and is praised for his work by a performing group called
Sweat Girls.

    You supply the words ? or just some ideas for words ? and we
    do the rest. Maybe you're itching to try your hand at writing
    lyrics, and hear what they sound like when set to music by a
    professional songwriter. Or maybe you'd like to send someone a
    song as a gift for a special occasion.

    [...]

    A Song Bokay is an original song that you help create. You can
    either write your own lyrics, or just give us a few ideas ?
    subject matter and information you'd like to be included in
    the lyrics.

    Check out SongBokays.com. Paul Gilvary, songwriter extraordinaire
    for Lifeline Theater (and Dorothy M's spouse), writes custom
    personalized songs for any occasion. Great for birthdays,
    weddings, new babies, you name it. What could be more fun than
    sending someone a CD with a song composed in their honor?

I was unable to find reviews of Private Song, but you can download samples
from their website to assess the quality of their songcraft. This firm
charges $150 plus shipping for a custom song delivered on CD.

The least expensive option, at $50 plus shipping for CD delivery, would
be to order a fill-in-the-blanks song from Gift Songs. On the following
page, the words in red are substituted on the recording with words of
the customer's choosing.

    Have you gotten yourself into trouble and an apology isn't
    enough? A personalized song from GiftSongs.comŽ may be just
    what you need.

    These are sample lyrics; Words in red will be replaced by the
    information you provide.

Dear leapinglizard-ga ,

Thanks for doing all that effort to answer my question. I almost lost
hope in getting it answered. I want to add something here, I did some
research myself and found couple more sites that offer the same
service. Can you please help to verify the validity of these sites as
well? the sites are:

http://www.songceremonies.com

http://www.sayitinasong.com

Thank you

Clarification of Answer by leapinglizard-ga on 11 May 2006 11:29 PDT
The firms you mention appear to be legitimate. The songceremonies.com
domain has been registered since 2001, and sayitinasong.com has been
around since 1998. The addresses of the website administrators, Karen
Donlon and Bobby Haverstick respectively, are publicly available in
the Whois domain registry database. In my judgment, these are both
respectable operations.
