Meet Dave Lenahan. He started out in the music business by being a DJ at WKSU radio on the campus of Kent State University, doing afternoon drive time jazz. He went on to work at Country Station WUBE in Cincinnati OH, but in short order he determined that he was destined to become a hit songwriter. We discuss the anatomy of the song, how to put one together, and what separates a tune from a hit.
Dave currently resides in Nashville TN, writes songs for a living, and hosts the podcast "Songwriter Connection" which has released more than 150 episodes on the exploration of songwriting.
Also joining us in the studio is award winning record producer Steve Creech as our special guest co-host.
