A Thousand To One
No this is not about betting (as you may have observed I do bet on horses and football), but about prioritising the good in our lives and giving as little purchase as possible to the not so good. I am starting this unsure if I can make six hundred words on it , but I would like to give this the permanence of a Vocal story because I believe, although this is completely just my opinion, that this situation affected everybody and I am certainly no exception to this.

The Sandman, The Sea Girl and The Dog
This is a follow on from The Sandman and The Sea Girl that you can read here. While it is best to read that before this both stories actually stand alone, but that gives some details on the inspiration behind the main characters in this.

Craig Puranen Wilson
I am updating this to include it in the Vocal Home Town Heroes Challenge. Craig was an amazing person who brought so many people together, encouraged and helped people who need it , and is the subject of and upcoming film aimed at promoting a positive , caring image of Newcastle. I have been interviewed for the film , and will possibly be performing a song I wrote unspired by Craig / Sheena when we lost him / her. The challenge is sponsored by The Mentor Group.

Suddenly It's Christmas
Halloween is over and Suddenly It’s Christmas . I have created a playlist mirroring this that you can listen to here. This was inspired by the Loudon Wainwright III’s song (Rufus and Martha’s dad) which I have led in with , so here are some notes on this non Christmas Christmas playlist.

Joy
My love for my Muse brings me such joy and she is always there to love and inspire me. The music I have included is a slightly cheesy take on Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" one of my classical favourites, but the video is full of smiles and I do like the Apollo 100 version and it is only two minutes and forty second.

Ode To A Butter Pie
An Update To My Ode For A Butter Pie For The Vocal "From Across The Room" Challenge A wonderful friend was in a very mischievous mood last night and suggested I updated this for the Vocal "From Across The Room" Challenge, and she knows I can resist anything but temptation, so I have added a second poem to enter the challenge.
