This round of &#8220;Songs and Stories&#8221;, however, will likely remain at the top of my list for awhile. I recently had the chance to sit and chat with singer\/songwriter <a href=\"http:\/\/davidwilcox.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">David Wilcox<\/a> before his show at <a href=\"http:\/\/truewindmusic.com\/houseconcerts.htm\" target=\"_blank\">TrueWind Music<\/a> (a bay area series run by fellow songwriters <a href=\"http:\/\/truewindmusic.com\/bevbarnett.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Bev Barnett<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/truewindmusic.com\/gregnewlon.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Greg Newlon<\/a>). David and I talked about his new release <a href=\"http:\/\/davidwilcox.com\/?page=cds&amp;category=01--NEW_CD_AVAILABLE&amp;display=1858\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Open Hand&#8221;<\/a> and discussed why he chose to record it on analog tape.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0000ee;\"><span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/davidwilcox.com\/index.php?page=imgallery&amp;category=01--PRESS_PHOTOS__&amp;display=1016\" target=\"_blank\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/wilcox.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Click for more David Wilcox photos<\/strong><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>After David played a few tunes from that record &#8211; and explained the stories behind them &#8211; we veered into a discussion of songwriting. David explained that if you haven&#8217;t written for awhile, it&#8217;s simply a matter of rediscovering that path so you write again. The point? It&#8217;s not about &#8220;getting a lot of songs&#8221;, but just being able to connect with that part of you where songs come from. I came away incredibly inspired. I think you will, too.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Songs and Stories&#8221; #91 includes live performances of &#8220;Modern World&#8221;, &#8220;Open Hand&#8221;, and &#8220;Vow of Silence&#8221; off &#8220;Open Hand&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This podcast is sponsored by Audible.com<\/strong>.
