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, wondering if you need to go straight edge again to get your

scotch consumption under control, or else a scrappy upstart.

In the bathroom at the all ages show, trying to scrub the exes from your hands.

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

excuse to put off, actually writing.

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

This week's show was 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.

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 Lander who drove a land cruiser with

stolen plates and who is always trying to sell you mescaline that he claimed was for medicinal

purposes.

An old Lander 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.
