Ben Delzer is a singer/songwriter/guitarist and leader of the indie band (with which I also play), standing mavis. I took a couple minutes to ask the following questions of him. Give this first MustardCast (aka Podcast) a listen. I hope his striving to make more of his passions will encourage you to make more of yours.
Length of the MustardCast:
13 min 41 sec
If you have iTunes, you can play the MustardCast now.
Otherwise, you can Download MustardCast #1 Featuring Ben Delzer of standing mavis (7.8 mb)
Features:
Some clips from standing mavis as well as interesting discussion around the following topics:
- Ultimately, do you feel this is your calling?
- What is the purpose of music to you?
- How do you balance that with responsibilities of family?
- What do you need from your spouse to help you stay motivated to create?
- How are you most often misunderstood?
- Discuss your approach to songwriting (i.e., music first, lyrics first, etc.)
I’m in the process of mixing down one of the songs highlighted in this MustardCast. I’ll post a link when that is ready for download.
You can learn a bit more about standing mavis and listen to a few studio and live tracks at their MySpace site: www.myspace.com/standingmavis.
BTW, please tell me what you think of these. I have a nice line up of interviews set up and I really want to make these as beneficial as possible to you.
Well, Mr Funky Uncle, I sure did enjoy your first podcast! Please keep them rolling. I liked the questions, the background music, and listening to an artist talk about his work. Thanks!
