Bio
Welcome to my Vocal page and storicles that are published here. Some time ago I started a migration to Vocal. I have now decided to move ahead. During the next couple of weeks, I will move my stories to Vocal.

Did We Remember the Past and Those That Provided the Foundations on which WE Innovate
Did we remember the past and those that provided the foundations upon which we create innovation? One of the things that is a constant bother to me is that now people write about things without any attribution whatsoever. If you need to know what attribution is (for what it's worth), look it up (you might learn something). I have to determine if it is possible to copyright something retroactively so that it is possible to claim copyright infringement when someone writes something as their idea when it has been written about previously. If for no other reason, it is a way to officially notify someone who may be plagiarizing.

My Photographs Have Become Important to Me (as they should be)
I have been a photographic hobbyist for most of my life. Starting when I was ten years old, I became interested and fell in love with art (and yes, by this time, I can it an art) and also the hobby. I have engaged in photography for many years, focussing on many different aspects of this interest. To this day, I respect those who have created beautiful works of photography and have advanced the technical aspects of the field. All in all, photography has been a continual pleasure in my life.

The Peace of the Field
I woke up this morning looking at our field. At the rear of our house, there is an expanse of land. Only a tiny part of our house property is part of the field. Looking out, I can see about 60% of the area. I've lived here for almost seven years. And the more I live in this place, the more I realize how extraordinary is the field behind my house.

Sad Death
This morning started like many Monday mornings. When I woke up, I did what I usually did; I looked at my phone to see if there were any messages for me. Most of the time, there aren't any because I am not that important other than what my mind tells me, but this morning, I had a dental appointment at 10:50 AM, and I had to get ready for it. It was not anything new there.

My Musical Education Experience
This article is the continuation of my musical experience part I. I am still in Junior High School, now in ninth grade. My middle school allowed students to take seventh and eighth grade in a single year if they could do so. We learned the same material taught in a 2-year program of 7th and 8th grade. It meant that instead of attending Junior High school in three years, I would complete seventh and eighth grade In a single year, thereby making the total time in middle school two years. At the time, this was a good idea.

My Musical Education
When I was young, perhaps five or six, my parents saw fit to enroll me in a musical program at a famous music school in South Philadelphia named the Settlement Music School. The program they enrolled me in was a class for kids to play the recorder.

Randy Kaplan About Me V 1.0
Let’s be honest with one another. I’m an introvert; therefore, among other things, I am ambivalent about strutting my stuff, including writing about myself or speaking about myself. This “About Me” is my first attempt to write an about me on Vocal ergo “Version 1.0.” You are my sounding board, and I greatly value your input.
