Episode 39 - One Last Look Back

Episode 39 of the podcast is now available for your aural enjoyment. It marks the end of our look back. In all, there have been 34 episodes of original and new content.

In this episode, we look back at episodes 29 through 34 and feature conversation and music from Dustin Morris, Brandon Thomas, Michael Brown, Cary William White, Connor Jay Liess, and Wayne White. You'll find links to the full episodes for each artist below.

Measured Voices has been a great deal of fun, and I have enjoyed sitting down and talking with all of the artists featured. I've also enjoyed having the opportunity to hear some of their music. I hope you have as well.

While putting together the podcast has been fun and is a labor of love, it is also a fair amount of work. Because of that, I've decided to take some time off from working on the podcast. That time away will hopefully give me time to work on my own music and also line up guests for new episodes.

The current plan is to try to resume posting new episodes with the start of the new year. Check in with the podcast's Facebook page from time to time for updates.

In the meantime, I hope you'll check out some of the local songwriters living and working around the Treasure Valley. There are some truly fine songwriters and musicians who deserve your support, and I hope you'll give them a chance to win that support.

Thanks for listening!

Episode 32 - Cary William White

Hi there! Glad you stopped by! You're just in time to give a listen to episode 32.

Cary William White

In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with songwriter Cary William White for a wide ranging conversation. We start off by talking about Cary's conscious decision to be somewhat eclectic in terms of his songwriting. (Hint: boredom plays a part in his reasoning.)

We'll talk influences and what Cary took from them when he began to write his own songs. We'll also talk about the idea of the songwriter as conduit.

Cary talks about his earlier life as what he terms a "machine" and about his ultimate decision to honor his musical gifts. Cary and I talk quite about spirituality and meditation and their roles in his music as well as his time living in an RV and later a car.

In addition to music, Cary is an artist, and we'll talk about the connections and similarities between the two. Cary also talks about the elephant in every musician's living room, money, and about the pleasure and fulfillment he gets from teaching music to others and, hopefully, inspiring them.

Along the way, Cary shares three of his original songs, "New Day One," "We Are One In Love," and "The Time Has Come."
