“I listen to several songwriting podcasts. Many of them interview artists and songwriters and they are very valuable in that there is usually a nugget or value bomb coming...you just have to wait for it.
With The C.L.I.M.B, class is ALWAYS in session from the word “Go”!
There is no waiting and the...”Read full review »
