The "Not My Shoes" Challenge
I had the opportunity to interview Vocal creator Dawn Salois. This particular activity involved pairing participants with a partner and allowing the partners to interview each other. The results of these interviews will then be shared, allowing everyone to learn more about the members as people, rather than just creators.

Classical Gas Bags
As a kid classical music was never pushed at home, the nearest we got was probably Mantovani or the sort of elevator music you would expect to hear at “Abigail’s Party”. When I got to secondary school the possibility of me ever appreciating any classical music was well and truly dashed to the ground.

Can You See The Real Me?
This is for The Remarkably Real Vocal Challenge, the challenges were one of the reasons I joined Vocal but since then I have discovered something far more precious, my Facebook Vocal Friends and Family who provide me with love and support and encouragement and without whom I would not be here writing this.

A True Romantic
My favourite film is True Romance directed by Tony Scott and scripted by Quentin Tarantino. Tarantino then disowned the script for some reason. It was pre-Reservoir Dogs so that may have been something to do with it. Apologies for any mistakes or mis-spellings of names as I am trying to rely on my often faulty memory.

William Hope Hodgson
William Hope Hodgson is a writer who has been compared to Edgar Allen Poe, although I would veer away from that description for a lot of his stories. I have once more picked up on “The House On The Borderland” which is, in my opinion (and that of a lot of other people) a masterpiece of the unnatural supernatural in the realms of Clark Ashton-Smith, Arthur Machen and HP Lovecraft.
