B Smith's Second Sticks- Nick Borges (part 2)

In part 2 of B Smith's Second Sticks conversation with Tech Supervisor and all-around talented good guy Nick Borges, we get a little dystopian. We first touch base on the concept of A.I. and how that will affect the creative landscape, then discuss the reality for most people having to constantly travel in order to work in our industry. The halcyon days of getting to pick and choose shows is long gone, and we find ourselves on the side of more supply than demand, with certain disciplines within our genre not even allowing for that option. We address the "road warrior" idea, which is where we are at now, but is severely unattractive for workers who are parents and spouses and partners. But we shift to the fact that most of us are creative people, with a need to create. Nick's YouTube show, "Songwriting Covered," focuses on the mutual admiration of musicians as they talk about song writing and perform each others songs. You can be sure that, as a musician himself, Nick will present this material with all the care and attention it deserves, although I have no doubt that he would do the same with a conversation about plastic deck chairs-- you'll just have to listen to the pod!
