Hi and welcome to the Working Songwriter.

The show where today's best songwriters come to talk shop, I'm your host, Joe Pug.

Each episode here we host a distinguished guest and we ask them to go deep.

On their inspiration, on their process, on the general ups and downs of making a life

in music.

So whether you're a grizzled veteran, getting your COVID vaccine so that you can return

to your gig at the local American Legion, or else a scrappy upstart, getting waxed so

you can return to your noise rock residency at a local gyroshop.

This is your show because ultimately it is what every writer seeks most in ironclad

excuse to put off actually writing.

Hey everybody, it's the third Friday of March 2021 and I thank you for joining us.

This week's show is brought to you by Banzougal.

Built by musicians and four musicians, Banzougal is an all in one platform to build a beautiful

website for your music.

An old Dallas would charge you about a thousand bucks for a website that would be obsolete

in six months, but it's the future now.

You guys, that's not how it works anymore, we're allowed to have nice things now.

One of those nice things is Banzougal.

Banzougal powers the websites of tens of thousands of musicians around the world from weekend
