<p>Peter Bell is a guitarist, singer, songwriter, producer, and teacher at Berklee College of Music. He composed the themes for <em>This Old House, New Yankee Workshop, Victory Garden, the ABC After School Special</em>, the award-winning film <em>Radio Cape Cod</em>, and countless jingles and production tracks. He recorded with Bonnie Raitt and the James Montgomery Band and has two Emmys, seven NEBA awards, and six ASCAP awards.</p> <p>Peter and I had a great conversation following our week together during the Monterey Songwriting Retreat. Pete discussed the importance of working with other musicians and played some of his collaborations with former Berklee students. He also shared the fascinating story of meeting a young Bonnie Raitt and playing on her first album.  </p> <p class="" data-pm-slice="1 1 []">This episode is sponsored by <a href="https://kits.ai/">Kits.ai</a>, a platform for artists, producers, and fans to create AI voice models with ease.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen on</span> <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/music-production-podcast/id1212124420"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Apple</span></a>,<span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span><a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/2R5hFhExyUzbI7jD7eauck"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Spotify</span></a>,<span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span><a href= "https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9tdXNpY3Byb2R1Y3Rpb25wb2RjYXN0LmxpYnN5bi5jb20vcnNz"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Google</span></a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk4jo7_Rx2-2mjUoTXTL4u0iUH5_XqBYi"><span style="font-weight: 400;">YouTube</span></a></p> <p><strong>Show Notes:</strong></p> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Peter's Website - <a href= "https://peterbellmusic.com/">https://peterbellmusic.com/</a></span></li> <li><em>Creating Commercial Music</em> by Peter Bell - <a href= "https://amzn.to/3EUUnxa">https://amzn.to/3EUUnxa</a></li> <li><em>Just Sayin'</em> by Peter Bell - <a href= "https://peterbellmusic.com/just-sayin/">htt
