Bible Black
I first heard the phrase Starless and Bible Black as the title of a King Crimson album , and later discovered it was written by Dylan Thomas as part of his wonderful tone poem “Under Milk Wood”, so as we are in this universe and I have stolen this perfect description of the darkest of nights I will share “Under Dub Wood” which uses a King Tubby rhythm track (as used for John Holt’s “Ali Baba” which you can listen to here) and narration by Sir Richard Burton as the lead in song.

Making Your Presence Felt On Vocal
When I started on Vocal i wasn’t sure what I was letting myself in for. Big prize money , paid reads, oh wow.

A Song , A Muse , A Vocal Creation
We are all writers and we all need inspiration. You may be lucky and words may pour from your pen. Euterpe is the Muse of Music , but your Muse may be what you listen to, A friend , a lover , a soul mate , a place , surroundings , a pet , almost anything that inspires you.

A Vocal Centurion
This is my hundredth post on Vocal, should I do a poem or should I write about what I have learned or learnt or is it both or neither. English grammar can be a pain at times. I saw ads for Vocal sort of advertising untold riches , but this year I was scaling down my writing on by blog Seven Days In and that has gone down to around one a week (but 100 posts so far this year , down from my biggest year when I averaged more than one a day.
