0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the working songwriter, the show where today's best songwriters come to Talk Shop.
0:20.2	I'm your host, Joe Pug. Each episode here,
0:24.3	we host a distinguished guest and we ask them to go deep on their inspiration, on their process,
0:30.5	on the general ups and downs of making a life in music. So, whether you're a grizzled veteran, posting Facebook comments declaring what is or
