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,

their process, on the general ups and downs of making a life in music.

So, whether you're a grizzled veteran, expertly finger picking a 1930 Gibson Granada 5-string

Banjo or else, a scrappy upstart, bashing away at a 2019 Deering with a Jim Dunlop guitar

pick, this is your show.

Because ultimately, it is what every writer seeks most and ironclad excuse to put off

actually writing.

Hey everybody, it's the second Friday of January 2022 and I thank you for joining us.

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

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

website for your music.

I'm old enough to remember when you had to pay somebody called a web developer to get

a website made and it would always be some guy named Marcel who drove a Jeep Patriot

with a neon green color scheme and who is really into unprescribed Xanax and recreational

paintball.

An old Marcel 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 Banzugal.
