In the current Podcasts we are sharing video clips from a May 13, 2017 concert at Benaroya Hall in downtown Seattle. That evening was the culmination of a seven year “journey” around a life and career titled “One of Those Times in a Life.”

Over the last couple of months we have been posting sections of the Graduation Celebration as weekly Podcasts. The entire celebration is now available to watch on the MarkPearsonMusic.com website as well as the YouTube channel.

This summer has been a chance to be home, to get back to my desk, and to feel like a songwriter again. 
What is that old saying? “May we live in interesting times.”

The Brothers Four completed a 5-week tour that included 17 concerts in Japan as well as one in Hong Kong before finishing up with a couple of shows on board a cruise ship, the Asuka II, between Ketchikan and Juneau.

It was 50 years ago this summer that I made my first trip to Japan as a member of The Brothers Four. In 1969 at twenty-two there was no way to anticipate all the twists and turns or to imagine that I would be writing this while on yet another tour of this amazing country.

“Life is what happens to you when you’re making other plans .” Those words may never have rung more true for me than they did on June 8th this year when I unexpectedly had quadruple bypass open heart surgery. While all signs point to a complete recovery, I have dropped everything to concentrate on healing.

Last month’s Songs and Stories from Home talked mostly about where we are going and how we hope to get there. This month the Songs and Stories will explore the power of song and story in our lives and over a lifetime.

"As someone who has faith in the power of stories and songs - who believes in the might, magic, and mystery of love - both loving and being loved - and who trusts that together songs sung, stories told, and love shared can lead us home - I'd like to welcome you to Songs and Stories from Home."

A search for truth, home, and to find myself...
