Some Dawn Singles You Will Love, I Certainly Do
Introduction As you know I have a big CD collection and I sell a lot on Discogs (my store only sells CDs and is below). I often take CDs out of my sale pile to make sure they play OK. I always visually check them but sometimes even perfect-looking CDs don’t play properly.

Growing Old is Mandatory but Growing Up is Optional
Introduction My Seven Days In Blog readings (or probably robot visits) fluctuate wildly and articles are picked up from way back that I believe are actually quite interesting, and think my Vocal audience may also enjoy dipping into.

C.H.R.I.S.T.M.A.S.
This is a free-form acrostic poem, which is really a list of a few things to do in the true spirit of Christmas. The music is “Happy Christmas War Is Over” by John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and I truly wish that all wars were over.

Butterfly On A Wheel
This is my thirty-sixth dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena. It is a butterfly cinquain, and is only dark in concept, observing how beauty is destroyed often for the fleeting convenience of perpetrators.

A Fire In My Heart
My Muse always inspires me , but the basic idea for this came from Nick Cave’s “Fire Down Below” from “Rogues Gallery” but that is far too dirty , though a brilliant song, but I will share Dave Edmunds “Queen of Hearts” which is a beautiful song , and one that I would sing to my Muse..

The Leningrad Cowboys
Introduction The Leningrad Cowboys Biography Site Today I started writing a piece that was fairly self-destroying and I thought this will be dark and depressing, and to be honest, I prefer being upbeat and positive. It was my friend Trisha’s birthday and I shared a video with her, which, in my opinion, is one of the most uplifting, maddest and impressive three minutes that I have ever seen on YouTube and it is from a DVD that I have from a concert that took place on 12 June 1993 on Senate Square in Helsinki, Finland which was attended by my friend Krista.
