You're going to be. 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,

wondering just when you're going to see a bigger royalty check

from the Music Modernization Act, or else a scrappy upstart

wondering if it's actually worth it for YouTube to mail you a royalty check for

23 cents 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 first Friday of July 2020 and I thank you for joining us

this week's episode 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 a web developer was always some guy named

Matthias, who drove a Pontiac Aztec with murdered out windows in

hubcaps and who was always referencing the movie Gattica and trying to sell you

ecstasy. An old Mathias would charge you like a thousand bucks for a website. sell you

echasty. An old Mathias would charge you like a thousand bucks for a website

that would be obsolete in six months.

Listen, it's the future now, you guys.

That's not how it works anymore.

We can have nice things now.
