Here's episode 11 of The Hexagon: A Podcast For Singer-Songwriters.  It's a podcast about 6 aspects of being a singer-songwriter today (songwriting, performing, recording, business, growth, and life).  This month, Doug Summers and I sit down for a talk...we discuss some of the following, and a lot more.
