On Comedy
Introduction I can’t write comedy. My friend Bill O’Neill is starting a Comedy Section in the Vocal Social Society but I probably won’t be able to contribute any fiction for two reasons. I find fiction difficult to write and if I do write comedy people will not laugh because it may be too convoluted.

My Vocal Bad
Image from Pinterest Introduction You may think that this is going to be a negative post, it will hopefully be seen as positive and supportive to everyone in the Vocal Facebook Groups and that immediately has given me an idea. I often list my favourite Vocal Groups at the end of some of my posts. If I take that list and turn it into a pseudo poem then I can just attach it to relevant posts going forward, so it will appear here as well.

Madness - The Business - A Greatest Hits And More With A Difference
Introduction To Madness - The Business Well that is exactly what this is. It is another that briefly went on my Discogs sale pile, and when I gave it a last listen it came straight off. It contains their early hits and best songs and was issued in 1993 by Virgin.

Slavery Days - Burning Spear - Remembering What Was Before Juneteenth
A Brief Intro I have always been a fan since I first heard Burning Spear when I bought “Man In The Hills” just for its striking cover from NEMS in Rumbelows in Liverpool. I certainly wasn't disappointed with it.

Heroes - Covers of a Great David Bowie Song
Introduction - Why I Decided To Write This I was going to listen to my David Bowie Platinum Collection while I was working and as I took the CD box out another CD slipped out, an Uncut compilation of David Bowie covers. There were some interesting ones closing with Mercury Rev’s cover of the coda from “Memory of a Free Festival” which was taken by Dario G as the uplifting dance song “Sunchyme / SunMachine”.
