\\nOn this week\'s podcast we\'ve got News, Crosstalk, a Gear Review, Viewer Mail and we tweak The Stupid Knob!\\n

\\n\\nThis week Mike is relaxing in Cabo and Slau is sitting in as guest host. Slau is a New York City-based singer/songwriter and producer. During his teenage years, he developed his performance skills as a multi-instrumentalist while performing with various folk ensembles and dance bands. His reputation as a versatile musician led to an early career as a session musician for television scores as well as commercial jingles and underscores.

\\n\\nSlau\'s songwriting has been recognized by Musician Magazine where he was a semi-finalist in the Best Unsigned Band Contest and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) Songwriters Workshop. He\'s been a featured performer at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Showcase and has been a regular contributor to the New York City Songwriters Circle and The Bitter End.

\\n\\nIn 2005, the new media world of podcasting rallied behind one of Slau\'s tunes entitled If Every Day Were Christmas, a song co-written with Orlando Pagan. Former MTV VJ, Adam Curry, heard the song, played it on his podcast, The Daily Source Code and came up with the idea of a We Are the World-type benefit. Over 50 artists from 9 countries took part in Podsafe for Peace, a benefit song for UNICEF produced by Slau. It remains in the Top 10 most played songs in the podcasting world and has been played on satellite and terrestrial radio including Sirius, XM, BBC, CBC and Westwood One.

\\n\\nCurrently, Slau is working on a follow up to The Weight of Words, his 2001 debut album. The new album is scheduled for release in the spring of 2008.

\\n\\n\\nAnswer To Last Week\'s Trivia Question:

\\nQ: Which act was left stranded at the airport, therefore becoming a no show at The Woodstock Music and Art Fair in August 1969?

\\n\\nA: Iron Butterfly! They demanded a ride from the airport and the promoters decided since everyone else made it on their own, including uninvited guests, that they would just leave them stranded.

\\n\\n\\nThis week\'s big winner is Suzie DeCree! She takes home a copy of Guitar And Drum Trainer courtesy of Ryan Smith over at GuitarAndDrumTrainer.com.
