                <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Dave Kleiner</b> invites songwriters and friends of songwriters to join our virtual e-Gathering on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 7:00. If you would like feedback from your peers on a song you are writing, or just want to lurk among the bushes from the comfort of your living room, join us for a fun experience where we will learn about the songwriter’s craft and maybe hear the next classic hit at the dawn of its creation.</p>
