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,

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

So whether you're a grizzled veteran negotiating with a Brazilian promoter about the guarantees

for your reunion tour or else a scrappy upstart, begging the door guy at Hotel Cafe for an extra

drink ticket, 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 last Friday of November, 2022.

I hope you had a wonderful thanks, giving and I thank you for joining us.

This week's show is 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 Tucker who drove a VW Cabriolay with

a massive back window Punisher decal and who's always trying to get you in on a scheme

to defraud the local high school using a 50-50 raffle.

An old Tucker 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.
