CK:

You have been asked to travel outside the US or your home country for a good cause, do you go?

Cody Clinton and The Bishops:

Yeah. I've been asked to go to Nicaragua to help the children in the Managwa region to get dewormed and provide them with shoes and education. I have yet to have a chance to go. I am, however, hosting a benefit concert for the cause... it's called "The Concert for Nicaragua" and it will be held on 4/11/09

CK:

How long does it take for an average song to go from a musical idea to a recordable song?

Cody Clinton and The Bishops:

Depends. Most of the time it takes anywhere from a week or a month for a song to progress into a form that can be taken to a producer. Other times I finish an entire song in five minutes.... those are usually the best ones.
