This week's episode is a LITTLE bit different from my previous episodes of my podcast. Since Episode one of my show, EVERY single song I have covered has been a tune from the 60's, but as most of you should know by now, I write my own music and ALL of my music is influenced by stuff from the 60's, and since I"m noticing a lot of my podcast listeners aren't listening to my own music, I figured you guys should ABSOLUTELY check out my stuff, and what better way to do that then to cover one of my songs for my podcast, so this is going to be REALLY cool because you guys are going to get my perspective on my songwriting process and my influences as a musician and producer, so since I"m not doing a 60's song this week, I'm going to be brief about the history behind this song and instead, I"m going to tell the story of what inspired me to write this song and how I constructed it structurally and what were my specific influences as far as production and arrangements for this song when I was recording it. here's the link to this week's song just in case you guys wanted to listen to it:
