A Edible Playlist
Introduction My last playlist was based on anatomy and is linked at the end of this piece. During one of the songs, “Arms of Mary” by The Sutherland Brothers and Quiver I recalled that my favourite song by the Sutherland Brothers was “The Pie” and that might be a good pretext for another playlist. The fact that one of my friends told me that they keep discovering new music to listen to from these playlists inspired me to create this one.

Memory
Introduction I feel that I am always forgetting things that I should know. I am getting older and since I passed thirty people have stopped talking to me and insulted me because of my age. I have been turned down for jobs because of my age but have also got jobs this millennium because of a positive attitude to age. I am past the old UK retirement age now and to many people that means I don;t exist, but the reality is I still feel and act as though I am about fifteen, and actually have friends who are teenagers (maybe they didn’t notice how old I was for some reason) to a lot older than me. If we don't see and talk to people directly on line age almost becomes non existent although it's wrong to try and con people that you are a different age, although as a teenage I expected bus conductors to treat me a child for cheap travel and pub landlords and cinema boc offices to treat me as an adult for beer and "X" Rated films.

An Anatomical Playlist
The Intro I was listening to some songs and "Magic Man" by Heart came on, and I thought that could be an interesting theme for a playlist, parts of the body either in the song title or the band name. I will probably miss a lot but I am just going to dive in and see where this takes me.

My Unreasonable Jealousy
Introduction Over the past couple of weeks I have been seeing a lot of members of Vocal+Plus Assist getting Top Stories on Vocal, often multiple ones close together. I am over the moon for the people I know and maybe slightly peeved about others who are “Vocal Favourites” who seem to get Top Stories because of who they are but that is probably due to my own personal tastes. We can’t like everything and we don’t have time to read everything.

To Climb Mount Fuji
This is for the Vocal "High-Ku" Challenge which you can read below. I have taken a Japanese volcano, Mount Fuji (the second-highest volcano in Asia) as the subject as it combines height, size and power in the form of destructive fire and lava. There will be no more entries from me.
