Part 5: The Golden Sparrow-A journey into a musical escape room

"“There’s a desk in one of the rooms at 25 Franklin Ln. that has a symbol…”  I stopped as I realized that this discussion was starting to descend into farce.  If he knew about the symbol, he wasn’t going to admit it.  "

Welcome to season two of Anachronism with seven-part adventure through The Golden Sparrow.

Part 5 deepens the mystery of 25 Franklin Ln. and its peculiar history.

Background: In March 2019, I opened a musical escape room in my hometown of Fort Collins. It ran for a few months and featured live musicians and musical puzzles.  As a business venture, it was operationally difficult to sustain, but as an artistic enterprise it was quite rewarding. To create the room, I started with the story that grounded the experience and I thought it might make a nice addition to this podcast. I spent the last few months crafting the experience of the escape room into a short tale that I will now share over a series of weeks with you, my listeners.  Join me for a plunge into the mysterious past of Fort Collins, CO with music and imagination. This story will also introduce you to a new recording of the music I composed along with the fragments that comprised the puzzles.

If you enjoy the Anachronism podcast, please take a moment to reach out to me. I touch on a lot of different topics, so I'd love to hear from you about what you enjoy, and what I can do to better share my love of music and to enrich your life with these episodes.  Thanks for listening!
