    Series 1, Episode 44: The Story Of Gretchen

    We'd love to hear from you! Please send us a Text Message! One day, not so long ago, I was simply walking across my living room, when a thought hit me and stuck in my head that there was a wealthy elderly man sitting in his den playing a video board game that he had invented. The board game was somewhat magical and most complex. I stopped in my tracks and thought deeper. I realized that he was a God like figure and the board game was us, here on Planet Earth. We were the result of his invention. That was about it. I smiled and moved on across the room.  But the notion stuck with me. I laughed at the thought and wrote it down on a slip of paper: Living In My Video Game. Perhaps several years later, here is the result of that pause in life.

    Series 1, Episode 43: Walkin’ On The Earth Again

    We'd love to hear from you! Please send us a Text Message! I discovered a song I had written 4 or five decades ago. It was a response to a very bad habit that I had fallen into in life. The song was written and performed in my living room studio and was a one take … this means that I sang and played it one time in the recording process. It was an imperfect performance, but, for me, it was a powerful reaction to a profound turning point in my life. It touched me very deeply to hear the depth of emotion contained in this one take. I loved the song and decided to re-record it. As it was , in several tries I could not match the depth of the song sung by the much younger me. So I used the original Guitar/Vocal mixed track and added an orchestration to it in my studio – a duet performed by the two Mes – young and old.

    Series 1, Episode 41: The Mysteries of Life

    We'd love to hear from you! Please send us a Text Message! So much of life I take for granted I wake each day to face the same routine The colors often run In shades of monotone and grey And the days melt together In a frivolous cliché But occasionally, now and then Once or twice when the moon is blue I’ll be walking across a room And a thought will come From out of nowhere So stunning As to make me Stop in my tracks To consider the infinite The mysteries of life Theater of the Imagination is brought to you by Watchfire Music

    Series 1, Episode 40: Trees are Falling

    We'd love to hear from you! Please send us a Text Message! A psychedelic experience with a tree and a perplexing new song title dreamed up by Jenny Burton, recording artist of over three and a half decades, got me to become a dedicated advocate for the preservation of forests and the trees of Planet Earth. It didn’t hurt one bit that this previous year wife, Julia, and I planted 26 new trees in our home soil. A new song, sung by both Jenny and me and a fabulous video treatment by brilliant WFM Graphics designer, Skye Malone rounds out Episode #40 with a wondrous offering that we’re all very proud of.

    Series 1, Episode 39: You and I

    We'd love to hear from you! Please send us a Text Message! This episode is entitled You And I Not all love stories have happy endings. Sometimes, no matter how hard both parties try, it was just not meant to be. This is an uncharacteristically short (just 15 minutes) podcast whose purpose is to introduce a new song written and performed by Peter Link. It's a love song with an unexpected ending. It's one of those sad but true moments that can sneak up on you in life and leave its indelible mark on one’s life.  On a whole different level it is the celebrative product of a major overhaul of Link Recording studios – the first song to come from Link’s new and greatly improved mixing console. All in all, it’s a fascinating listen! Theater of the Imagination is presented by Watchfire Music watchfiremusic.com

    Series 1, Episode 38: Troubles be Gone- How to Get Through it

    We'd love to hear from you! Please send us a Text Message! This episode is entitled Troubles Be Gone – How to get through it… I had had a rough day. The things that were supposed to happen, didn’t happen. The things that never were supposed to happen, happened. It happens to all of us.  Yeah, life on planet Earth can be a roller coaster ride. I thought to myself, “Well, what do we do now“? How do we turn defeat into victory? Today, I’m going to introduce you to a surefire starter kit. It’s not a permanent solution, but it is, for most of us humans, a wondrous temporary solution. It requires little effort and is definitely fun and satisfying. Recently I applied my solution and, as usual, it worked like a dream. It worked so well, that I decided to write a song about it.  Join me as I demonstrate that solution right before your very eyes!

    Series 1, Episode 37: Brent Nicholson Earle - Looking Back In Time

    We'd love to hear from you! Please send us a Text Message! Recently, in August of 2024, we released a Watchfire Music Theater Of The Imagination video entitled Brent Nicholson Earl, A Most Extraordinary Man. It is an amazing story of determination and triumph, and it memorializes the 1986 fundraising Close Upon The Hour Concert in New York City that helped finance Brent Nicholson Earle, and The American Run For The End Of Aids, his historic run around the circumference of the United States, bringing National attention to the plight and potential solutions of the AIDS epidemic.   In the video, I tell the story of this lifelong friend who spent his life championing Gay rights. The story, which was the main feature in a decade ending People Magazine Special, is a doozy. In remembering back, there are so many angles to the telling of the story, that I found it impossible in the video to tell the complete story.   Consequently, in October of 2024 I interviewed Brent Nicholson Earl and asked him to look back once again at this time in his life nd recall some of the amazing insights and special moments of his historic run.a This podcast, an addendum to the video, does just that.  Watch the video!
