A Songwriter's Story By Steve Eaton

Dear Songwriters, steveeaton

Following is something I have been wanting to share with you. Please don't think it's a testimony of success about me, Instead it’s a way to make a confession; I hope you will understand. Then finally I hope you will view the link at the end that I just got from a mutual friend Billy Braun that sort of sums up this whole essay.

Have You Heard about Boise Song Talk?

Hey fellow songwriters!

A great resource for local songwriters, if you have not already been watching, is James Coberly Smith's local television show featuring local songwriters called "Boise Song Talk". It originally aired last fall and all episodes were taped live and edited by Boise State student crews at TVCTV. 

The great news is that now all episodes are available online, so if you missed one, you can catch up here at http://boisesongtalk.com. There are really some great interviews of some great local songwriters discussing their own process and they play a bunch of their originals. Quite a lot of fun. If you are even remotely interested in songwriting, this is not to be missed!

Now there's a new season, so check the listings for Channel 11 to catch one of these fine productions.  Thanks, James for all you've done for local songwriters! You're awesome man!
