Shownotes

Donovan Woods (donovanwoods.net) is the master of the pull quote when it comes to the songwriting process. His words are wise counsel for any songwriter. To wit: "A good song asks questions rather than provides wisdom," and "When I have writer's block, it's because I'm not reading enough."
I'll quibble slightly with the latter quote only because I cannot imagine Woods getting writer's block: the last three minutes of this episode are nothing but Woods listing all the authors who inspire him. And that includes the iconic poet Paul Muldoon, a recent guest (songwritersonpodcast.com/paul-muldoon) on this show whom Woods and I spend a few minutes swooning over.
The latest EP by Donovan Woods is Squander Your Gifts. (donovanwoodsada.lnk.to/SquanderYourGifts)
