Death Disguised
The Problem People get older. That's a fact. In the past people wanted to be able to do something, be a spaceman, be a doctor, be a builder, they wanted the ability to do something useful. They wanted to be able to make society better in whatever way they could and, ideally get some reward for it. They also wanted to progress in whatever sphere they had chosen to practice and learn their skills.

A Presidential Playlist
Introduction On Twitter Dave Gedge of the band The Wedding Present and I follow each other and he has a new album out. One of my favourite Wedding Present Somgs is "Kennedy" with that line "Too Much Apple Pie" and I thought I wonder if I could put together a playlist of at least a half-dozen songs relating to presidents, or their names. So this may go down in flames or it might be absolutely brilliant.

The FIFA 2023 Women's World Cup From Australia & New Zealand!
Introduction First of all, I am not sure whether this should be placed in Vocal's Cleats or Viva communities because it does straddle both of them, but I will choose the latter because it is another example of what brilliant sportspeople women are.

Selling My Music Collection On Discogs
Introduction Around 1980 music started to go digital and it was an excuse for record companies to resell existing product to music fans. There was still a physical copy of the music on CD and the commercial failure of DAT. I write a piece on music media, originally on Seven Days In, but it was repurposed as one of my first Vocal stories that you can read here.

Answer
Introduction This is another taken from my blog Seven Days In, which has just received its millionth visit. It is very amateur but it is a great way of sort of keeping a diary that will last as long as the internet does. This is the post to celebrate the millionth visit.
