This is the first half of an extraordinary interview between Allie Farris, a fiercely talented young performer looking for the secrets of songwriting success, and one of my musical heroes, David Wilcox. The end result is not just an overview of the logistical problems facing struggling musicians, but also a lesson in conscious and adventurous living that can apply to anyone trying to eke out a more creative existence. I feel privileged to have been at the right place and time to just put a microphone between these two.

I play several fragments and songs of Dave's through the course of this show, and you can hear them complete and buy your own copies through the following links:
The second part of this talk will be available in two weeks, on Monday, August 8. Cheers!
