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.

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

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

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!

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!

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!

The phone rang. I picked it up and the lady on the other end said, “Hi, I am the director of the Creative Arts program at Camp Newfound Owatonna. I’m looking for a teacher to put together a music class for this summer's creative arts program at camp. I’m wondering if you might know someone who might be interested.” Long story short, needing a vacation, I took the job. A week or so at this camp in the cool state of Maine woods by a lake in August seemed to totally make sense. The story of how I spent my summer vacation – teaching a music class to 12 dedicated very adult students. The trials and triumphs; the obstacles and revelations. The building of a song from the ground up and the ultimate joys of performance. A walk in the sunlight; A Walk In The Woods.
