Working Muso Podcast episode 1

This is episode 1 of the Working Muso Podcast.

In this episode we talk about how "Making Music Work" translated into our production of Gigmeister Rock Volume 1. We discuss determination and playing to your strengths. Paul talks about his musical influences including some superb studio playing as he discusses Mark Knopfler of Dire Sraits fame, Ry Cooder, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Paul Simon, Brian May and others. Of course Paul is a finger picking guitarist and he picks up the slide too.

We also do a review of a great new magazine from the

Sound on Sound stable called Performing Musician including a gratuitous and completely free of charge plug for a product called Snap Jack. The link gives a youtube demo of the product that I managed to track down.

In the next episode we have Jay Irving in the studio and he'll be talking about his exciting adventures trying to make a living out of drumming. We'll have him playing too and I'll see if we can persuade Paul to have a jazz jam with him. (Paul's not so sure about jazz).
Thanks for listening
Paul and Andy
