Who Says That There is No Country Music in The Philippines

Well, there will be, as JVO Music introduces Cowboynextdoor who is also a Wikinut writer. Cowboynextdoor sets to enter the independent music industry with a cover of Josh Turner’s “Your Man.” The song which was already out on December 6, 2012 served as his debut single. It’s now available on 750 music download stores, online streaming and mobile service worldwide including iTunes, Amazon, eMusic and Google Play as distributed by MondoTunes.

Cowboynextdoor has just switched to being a recording artist already and his first song Your Man is already available on 750 stores worldwide including iTunes and Amazon. This is a short review about Cowboynextdoor and his music Your Man. He is one of Wikinut writers who has just began on his music career.

CowboyNextDoor’s decision to debut in the Country Music genre is based on the idea that it was skipped by OPM (Original Pilipino Music), making it a yet-to-discover type of music in the Philippines especially in Eastern Visayas (where he is based), which is a domain of independent rock, reggae, and hip-hop artists. His single will be succeeded by at least 3 official original singles before an album comes out. CowboyNextDoor’s songwriting has the influence of 90’s melodic and simple structure with love as the usual subject, things that are not far from what makes a country song.

If you will visit Cowboynextdoor Wikinut Profile Page – you will see that his published articles fall to the following categories: Entertainment, Politics, World News, Personal Experiences, Review Books, Writing, Music etc. But most of his published articles are mostly about music. He already published 138 articles on this site. He had joined Wikinut community on November 7, 2011.

You Still Write Familiar Letter

We writers even though we do not have much concerned about the elegant of form when we are writing to intimate friends or to acquaintances, there is a need that we would observe the conventions of form and etiquette especially in letters addressed to people that we do not know well enough to call by their first name.

In letters to acquaintances - we should keep in mind that even the most intimate acquaintance is exalted if we, authors of the letter observe certain manners of form. Letter-writing is one type of writing that most of us engage in after we leave school. We almost certainly write letters to parents, friends and acquaintances and we may have to write letters in connection with our jobs. 

Sometimes, we may write formal letters to institutions or officials for such purposes for applying for a job, requesting information or services, or seeking redress of some grievance. This article will discuss about familiar letter or letter written to acquaintances.

Below is a list of the assembly for the familiar letter.

• Familiar letters may be written on lined or unlined paper of any size but usually they are written on note-size stationary of some pastel color.
• Familiar letters may be handwritten and may be written on both sides of the sheet of paper.
• The author of the letter usually puts his or her address and the date at the right-hand side of the heading but does not, as in a business letter, put at the left-hand side of the heading the name and address of the person to whom the letter is addressed.
• Depending on the degree of intimacy with the addressee, the writer may use salutations like, Dear Mom, Dear Paul, Dear Jean, Dear Ms. Julie. The salutation is often followed by comma rather than the more formal colon.
• The body of the letter may be written in indented paragraphs, single or doubled-spaced.
• Again depending on the degree of intimacy with the addressee, the writer may use complimentary closes like – Sincerely, Cordially, Affectionately, Yours, Much love, Fondly and As ever.
• And depending on the degree of intimacy with the addressee, the writer may sign his or her full name or just a first name or a nickname.
