Two Lives of the Artist

This podcast is also a “songcast.” After the artist talk, I perform my song: “Julianna.”

I was thinking of a few questions about how artists portray life in art. I was wondering if artists all really have two lives: a “stage” or public life and a private “ordinary” one. Which one is better for their personal development to work on and are two necessary? Last, I thought about how maybe we are all just artists creating the art that is our lives?

After touching on these issues in my podcast tonight, I added a special feature: another live song recorded in my garage: “Julianna” the song I wrote inspired by my second daughter last year.

Let me know what you think of it. Ok, back to my ordinary life now ;)
