  • Best interview of my career!

    Bruce did the best interview of my career at NAMM. Wendy did a splendid job organizing and planning the interview. I've listened to their other podcasts as a result, and am now a lifelong fan. Thank you both for the excellent work you do! 5/5

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NHTE 629 John Beasley
Q: How did the Unlimited Miles project come to be, and what is its significance for honoring Miles Davis?
Beasley describes assembling a Miles tribute band with a blend of current identities rather than strict replication of past performances, emphasizing individuality and the desire to honor Miles by playing in a contemporary voice. He also notes involvement from Miles estate and the Miles Electric Band to ensure proper stewardship of the material.
NHTE 631 Jerry Salley
Q: What advice would you give to up-and-coming songwriters about handling feedback?
Seek honest feedback from trusted peers, test songs with different audiences, and if the same negative response repeats, consider changing the song; otherwise, trust your gut while maintaining thick skin.
NHTE 631 Jerry Salley
Q: What prompted the Little House Songwriting Workshop and how does it work?
The workshop was Bruce's brainchild with Donna Ulysses and Rick Stanley, offering two-day, highly intimate writing sessions where participants are paired up to write and learn through live collaboration.
NHTE 631 Jerry Salley
Q: How many songs are on The Believer and who did you work with?
The Believer has 12 songs, many of which originated from studio collaborations and songwriting camps, including work with close friends and fellow writers.
NHTE 631 Jerry Salley
Q: What is the song BYOB about, and is it a co-write or solo-write?
BYOB is a co-written gospel piece inspired by a writer friend; it reframes the BYOB idea as Bring Your Own Bible, turning a party concept into a faith-centered story.
