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, shaking your

fist at Facebook for their new music live stream policy, or else a scrappy upstart, blissfully

unaware of that policy and live streaming anyway, this is your show, because ultimately

it is what every writer seeks most, an ironclad excuse to put off actually writing.

Hey, everybody, it's the last Friday of September, and I thank you for joining us. This

week's show is brought to you by bandzugal, built by musicians and for 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 Donatello, who drove his parents' 1988 Volvo S-70 with a funk and grooving

bumper sticker on it, and who also tried to sell you unlabeled pills that he kept in a metal

altoyds's box.

An old Donatello would charge you about a thousand bucks for a website that was obsolete in six months, but it's the future now.

You guys, we don't have to deal with the Donatello's of the world anymore.

We can have nice things now.

One of those nice things is Banzugal.

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

Warriors to Grammy winners.
