Five years ago, I had the opportunity to sit with <a href=\"http:\/\/marygauthier.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mary Gauthier<\/a> for an in-depth conversation about the craft of songwriting, how you need to put in a good ten years to really get a handle on it, and (one of my favorite quotes) that &#8220;good is the enemy of great&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1-O6Pz2IN8I\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a recent listener to the podcast, a songwriter, or just someone who appreciates the time that goes into a great song, I think you&#8217;ll dig this episode. This interview took place when Mary was on tour for her record, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marygauthier.com\/the-foundling\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;The Foundling&#8221;<\/a>. She&#8217;s since released two other CDs, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marygauthier.com\/live-at-blue-rock\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Live at Blue Rock&#8221;<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marygauthier.com\/trouble-and-love\/\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;Trouble and Love&#8221;<\/a>. The video above is from her latest. <\/p>\n<p>Full disclosure: For April, I had plans for a Skype interview with songwriter <a href=\"http:\/\/www.joyike.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Joy Ike<\/a>, a wonderful artist AND publisher of the musician&#8217;s blog, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grassrootsy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Grassrootsy<\/a>. The technology was just not on my side for this one, so we postponed. In the meantime, do check out Joy&#8217;s web site and blog, and rest assured we&#8217;ll have a lovely chat sometime in the near future. She&#8217;s worth the wait.<br \/>\n<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\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/subscribe-with-itunes.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.michaelgaither.com%2Fhome%2Fsongs-and-stories-146-flashback-mary-gauthier%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>Click here to listen to the 2005 interview with Mary Gauthier\u00a0(time = 40:30) This one&#8217;s a rare &#8220;Songs and Stories&#8221; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,3,9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","category-podcast","category-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5991"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5991\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5994,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5991\/revisions\/5994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5991"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.michaelgaither.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
