Colonel Pepper's Masterpiece ~ The Thought of 049
Channel: Falling Figs Music Publishing Company, BMI

I wrote this poem in 1971, while in Annapolis, Maryland in an old boarding house where Edgar Allen Poe once dwelt. This is described in the Falling Figs Journal Volume 1, 

It took over ten years to finally edit this down to under eight minutes, and even more to fully understand the meaning of this prophetic vision, The Thought of 049.

When I recorded it, I first spoke the poem from memory, one time all the way through. Then I sat down on a Steinway Grand Piano, with headphones on, and laid down the piano solo you hear in the background. Finally I added some synthesizer sound effects to enhance the auditory presentation, mixed it down digitally and wrapped up the session in forty five minutes,  

This video is part of my collection of Colonel Pepper's Picture Shows that were created using Microsoft Movie Maker and uploading each one to youtube.com/treyhaltom, 

I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed putting it all together. Microsoft is awesome, and YouTube sometimes leaves me speechless.
