I bought a copy of Papa Lips CD “High Time Now” when it was first released in 1998. One of the tracks on it “I’ll Be Free” stuck me as capturing the optimistic enthusiasm of youth. But what happens to the hopes and dreams of musicians just starting out.

I’m Neil Ashworth and this is “I’ll Be Free”, a podcast about musicians finding a way to make a living, the lessons they’ve learned, and how they survived, or plan to survive, a life in music.
