This episode of The Working Songwriter is brought to you by Yamaha guitars.

2026 marks the 60th anniversary of Yamaha guitars.

That's six decades of innovation, expertise, and instruments that have inspired players like

John Denver, Bob Dylan, Elliot Smith, Billy Corgan, and Keith Urban.

From legendary FG red label guitars to modern innovations like their transacoustic series,

Yamaha continues to set the gold standard for acoustic guitar craftsmanship worldwide.

They say there's nothing new under the sun, and ain't that the truth? The working songwriter has been on the air for over 10 years and over 300 episodes now.

As you've probably noticed, only the latest 100 episodes are published and available on Spotify and within your podcast app.

So we're bringing back some of the gems from past years.

Of course, if you want access to every single episode of the show at any time,

you can become a subscriber to The Vault. The Vault is a private member-only section of my website,

joepugmusic.com, where you can access any episode of the show for streaming and for download.

In the meantime, we're bringing back some classic episodes to the main feed.

Is that a reason not to join the vault? Of course not. Because it means that our latest episodes

will only get paywalled all the sooner. Is this a relatively convoluted system? Of course it is.

But such are the tradeoffs that the ever-changing media landscape leaves us to navigate.

Thank you for being here.

It's always an honor to have you listen to the show.

And I hope that you enjoy some of these classic episodes.

Today's episode with Kevin Morby was originally aired on October 9th, 2020.

I hope you enjoy.
