You're not going to be a Hello 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, wondering why your 1995 Parker Fly guitar has not appreciated in price as other vintage guitars have or else

a scrappy upstart saving up thousands of dollars to buy a vintage guitar that was actually just a budget

model from Sears 50 years ago. This is your show because ultimately it is what

every writer seeks most in ironclad excuse to put off actually writing.

Hey guys, it is the last Friday of February 2020.

I'm glad that you're here. today's show is brought to you by

band Zugel built by musicians and for musicians band Zugel 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 on this janky platform called Geo Cities

and the web developer would be a man named Anders

who drove his parents hand me down Volvo,

but he had put a slipknot bumper sticker on it.

And old Anders would charge you about a thousand bucks

for a GeoCity's website that he built and it would be obsolete in six months.

It was a nightmare I'm telling you if you're younger and you don't

remember this time, us old timers, we had a hard go of it, but you don't know.

This is the future, we have nice things in the future. We have Banzugel.

Banzugel powers the websites of tens of thousands of musicians around the world

from weekend warriors to Grammy winners.
