(In other words, he&#8217;s a real craftsman, and he makes it look really easy.) Chuck is known for writing funny songs that seem to come off easy  (&#8220;I Miss My Mustache&#8221;), while his serious side packs an equal punch. (His song &#8220;Mimimum Wager&#8221; won the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.woodyguthrie.com\/Songwriting_Competition.html\" target=\"_blank\">2001 Woody Guthrie Songwriting Competition<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Chuck has just finished &#8220;Creatures of Habit In a World of Change&#8221;, his fifth record. We sat down this afternoon to discuss how the theme of family and roots from his last album, &#8220;Sweet Reunion&#8221;, evolved into the topic of &#8220;change&#8221; in the new one.  In episode #37 we talk about the new record and some of the stories that led to it. In episode #38, Chuck gives us a preview of the new record and plays both the title cut and &#8220;I&#8217;d Rather Be in Redding&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/chuck.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Here are a few links to go with this episode:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.chuck-mccabe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Chuck McCabe&#8217;s web site<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/chuckmccabe \" target=\"_blank\">Myspace site<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/cdbaby.com\/found?allsearch=chuck+mccabe&amp;submit=search\" target=\"_blank\">Purchase Chuck McCabe CDs<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blahblahwoofwoof.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blah Blah Woof Woof<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sistersfolkfestival.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sisters Folk Festival<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>7\/31\/08 Update:<\/strong> Chuck McCabe will be doing a free, in-store concert at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jansenmusicstore.com\" target=\"_blank\">Jansen Music in Watsonville<\/a> on Saturday 8\/19\/08 at 4 pm.<\/p>\n<p>Click to hear<a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/podcasts\/songs_and_stories37.mp3\" target=\"_blank\"> &#8220;Songs and Stories&#8221; #37<\/a> (time = 34:34, size = 38 mb)<\/p>\n<p>Click to hear <a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/podcasts\/songs_and_stories38.mp3\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Songs and Stories&#8221; #38<\/a> (time = 28:50, size = 33 mb)<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/browserRedirect?url=itms%253A%252F%252Fax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewPodcast%253Fid%253D216646993\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/subscribe-with-itunes.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michaelgaither.com%2Fhome%2Fsongs_and_stories_37_and_38_chuck_mccabe%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;&amp;width=800&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowTransparency=\"true\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:800px;height:30px;margin-top:5px;\"><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bay area staple Chuck McCabe is one of those &#8220;songwriter&#8217;s songwriter&#8221; type of folks.
