  Tom Willner Inks Publishing Deal and
Performs for 10,000 in Washington, DC
  Atlanta-based recording artist, Tom Willner, signed a publishing contract with The Music Library in Studio City, California.  Willner was represented by Richard P. Dieguez, who reviewed the agreement.  "I selected Richard...because of his experience, his music industry seminars and connections, and his accessibility," explains Willner.  "But mostly, I chose to work with Richard...because...he would teach me the things I needed to know about the music industry and always have my best interests at heart.  With my consultation, that is exactly what I got."
  The deal is for two songs:  Rescue Me and You Are My Storm. "The Music Library is a small boutique shop, which I think is perfect for me at this stage in my career," says Willner.  The deal also raises Willner's profile from "associate" to "active membership" with Nashville Songwriters Association International and other organizations.  
  After signing the deal, Willner capped off the week with a Washington DC performance in front of the Capitol before an audience of about 10,000.  The performance was part of Celebration On The Hill, an American Cancer Society event to urge Congress to pass better healthcare and cancer legislation.  The event resulted in 300 legislators pledging to do just that.  Willner's performance can be seen at
www.celebrationonthehill.org. More information about Tom Willner is available at www.tomwillner.com
