Radio Free Song Club

How did I not know that several of my favorite singer/songwriters were getting together and doing a song workshop style podcast where they brought works in progress? I put Kate Jacobs on the iPod this morning and then thought I’d check out her website and found a link to this glorious site.

Kate Jacobs, Victoria Williams, Dave Schramm, Peter Holsapple, Laura Cantrell, Freedy Johnston and more, all at Radio Free Song Club.

This is your awesome of the day, folks.
