When Vocal Get It Right
Introduction When I started on Vocal I used to use YouTube videos for the main image. Some friends advised against it but I do like to include music as Vocal does allow multimedia presentations. Also as a Vocal+ member, I have the benefit of QuickEdit and this allows changes to the main body of your Vocal Story but not the title, subheading or the main image.

Two Thousand Years Old
Introduction This is inspired by the thoughts of things that have lasted from ancient times to the present day, One book I have on the subject is Julian Cope's "The Modern Antiquarian" and I also live close to a section of Hadrian's Wall and often visit the Temple of Antenocitus and the selfie for this piece is me leaning on a column there.

Creationism
Introduction I have just started reading "Creation Stories: Riots, Raves and Running a Label" by Alan McGee and I have loved a lot of the releases from the label, some of which were big sellers and important releases. Thi sis from a time when music actually mattered to the mainstream rather than be something to fill a Spotify playlist.
