Looking After Number One
Why I Am Writing This? I was going to write about all the things I have wrong with me and then decided that would be far too whiney and depressing, and thought it would be better to actually say how I try (not always successfully) to look after myself and my best interests..

Give It Your Best Shot
What is your best Vocal Story? I, and many other Vocal Creators, are often asked “What is your best story” or “What are you most proud of?” and it is a question I find very difficult to answer for many reasons, not least of them being that I have over 460 Vocal Stories to choose from. Many are poems, a few are Fiction and then there are my observations on situations, happenings, art, and creations.

Ten Folk Songs Everyone Should Be Aware Of. Top Story - February 2022.
Julie Lacksonen in her group Vocal Writing Prompts asked for a playlist of ten favourite songs in a favourite genre. My musical tastes are very eclectic, but for this one, I have chosen folk, but this playlist is a drop of water in an ocean of song. Even looking at my choices there are so many artists and songs I have missed but I hope that my choices will make you want to explore the artists in here.

A Difficult Abecedarian Poem
This is a “Difficult” Abecedarian Poem because the basic Abecedarian is a poem where every line starts with the next ascending letter “A” to “Z” but this requires that every line end with the next descending letter “Z” to “A” , so rhyme is out of the question but every line will contain 8 syllables.

Hoults Yard, The Fall, King Charles, The Sound of Guns and Opencast Software In 2012 there was a festival at Hoults Yard in Newcastle, also the home of Opencast Software.
