Your host Tim Larson decided about two months ago to try his hand at songwriting. Actually laying down his thoughts that were scribbled on many small sheets of paper over the previous year. With absolutely no musical skills, he sent the lyrics to London, England. The producers magically use Ai to combine genre, tempo and singer gender choices into a song.

Here are the inspirations and back stories for each of Tim's first nine songs. You have complete freedom to rate these songs as if you were in the audience of American Bandstand with Dick Clark.

Bobby Roth and I met briefly just three hours before our conversation. He was conducting a Director's Panel at the Beloit International Film Festival in Wisconsin. He's made films and television shows for over fifty years. You will instantly recognize nearly the entire list. We agreed on an afternoon meeting time and location for recording this episode. After the workshop, everyone rushed off to various film screenings and a quick bite to eat. We reconvened later and within three minutes of pleasantries the microphones were on. Our exchange of stories are close to the length of a feature film. Enjoy.
