Sometimes a room or building has a special vibe or feel when you walk into it and this feeling comes to me whenever I walk into a music studio or TV studio.

The feel and smell of creativity? A tech meets art space? Or is it the ozone in the air from the equipment that calms and excites all at the same time?
All I know is that this studio set made some magic for me while filming the bi-weekly instalments of Martin at the Crossroads. I also appreciate the staff and volunteers that worked the controls and cameras that help create the magic. Without them, it is just a room with a lot of very expensive toys.
I spent many years in studios like this for both TV production of my shows and in recording studios to voice what I can best remember of as hundreds of times. Some major studios, some eked out in what seemed to be a bedroom closet.

The summer studio for my show was a treat. The swimming pool that never got swam in but lent its reflection to the warmth and feel of The Crossroads with Martin Anthony. Guests were always most comfortable sitting under the mulberry trees as the sun slowly set in the west during the one-hour program. On one occasion, a huge mulberry dropped on my guest. The guest picked it up from his lap, looked at it for a moment, and then popped it into his mouth. Mulberry memories for sure!
All in all, they were quite memorable moments for the task that a studio brings to the art at hand. To share words, images and ideas with the world.
