Thank You Mum
Introduction It is Mother's Day in the uK today. I have never done this before and I thought it was about time I did. My mum died of a heart attack and stroke over thirty-five years ago, and she is with me every day. I have included one of her favourite songs ("Happy" by The Carpenters) in this and written this sonnet.

More Observations On Why We Publish On Vocal
Introduction I am not a very supportive Vocal Creator, if I were I would appear on the Vocal Leaderboard, I seldom get a Top Story, and maybe the odd honourable mention. Top Stories do generate reads but most of mine come outside of Vocal, probably because I don't comment enough on others' stories.

An Instrumental Playlist
Introduction There are a few songs that refer to musical instruments (sometimes featured in the song) so after checking my playlists that I have previously published here on Vocal, I was surprised to find I hadn't done one on this theme.

Worn Out, Loud and Heavy
Introduction This is another Seven Days In post that has been getting a lot of traction. It is just about listening to an album on what was a new phone (I have stuck with Google Pixels since then) and issues with my headphones and how I overcame it and the album I was listening to, and a few of my favourite songs from it.
