We continue our songwriting series with Nashville songwriter and gun for hire Bill O'Hanlon. There is a rich tradition of co-songwriting in Nashville, and Bill has had incredible success. He's also an amazingly prolific songwriter, having written over 1000 songs. More remarkably, he's done all this after deciding on a career change in his 60s. Bill is also a renown author. He's published over 39 books, appeared on Oprah promoting his successful book Do One Thing Different, and now, has co-written 4 books on songwriting.
