In this episode of Oh sheet I'm having a chat with the amazing Mike Dawes. We discuss topics like what makes a good arrangement, the key differences between arranging a song and composing it from scratch, and how musicians who alter their content constantly have an affect on the music society. 

I'm sorry for any quality issues in this episode—I had to improvise quite a bit. However, I believe the value of the conversation far outweighs any shortcomings in the recording quality.
