To Be Loved
It is a wonderful feeling to love someone , but it is an ever more incredible feeling to be loved in return. I always loved The Teddy Bears “To Know Him Is To Love Him” , but I needed another version and had forgotten Dave Bromberg had adapted it as “To Know Her Is To Love Her”.

Five Funny Facebook Friends
Comedy At The Stand in Newcastle Well, actually it’s six but fancied a fairly alliterative title. These are all comedians I have seen at the Stand in Newcastle (and other places) and to be quite honest, I enjoy watching them a lot more than most of the people you see on television, but maybe it's because they actually talk to me. I am just gonna say a little about them and where I first saw them.

A View From A Long Beach
Another poem , a tribute to my wonderful Muse , who I was with last night and most of today chatting about this and that. Although I have used the song before , the beautiful “Can’t Get It Out of My Head” from “El Dorado” by the Electric Light Orchestra is perfect for this.

I'll Be Your Rock
Sometimes our friends go through extremely hard times , we need to be there for them to lean on you , cry , cuddle , and make them feel warm , loved and wanted. The theme from “Friends” , “I’ll Be There For You” by The Rembrandts is both upbeat and a perfect mission statement for us to support our friends.

Autumn Goddess
This is for a wonderful friend. I can’t say too much about her without giving her identity away , but she is a veritable Goddess and a wonderful Mother. The music I am leading with is Birth Ritual the first track from the EP trilogy "Maiden, Mother, Crone" from Jordan Reyne and is a tale about the absurdity of the gender construct and how we are taught to perform the rituals required of us based on our physicality from birth.

Going Nowhere , But Home
This is a collaboration between Samantha Ciccone and Mike Singleton , from a concept that came from a chat . We were talking traffic and Samantha said she would love to drive anywhere / nowhere but somehow end up at home. I've used "Going Home:Wild Theme" from "Local Hero" by Mark Knopfler as the lead in music, as for me it fits.

A Musical Education , My Experience of Public Service Broadcasting
I first heard Public Service Broadcasting on BBC Radio 6 with the song “ROYGBIV” an acronym for the sequence of hues commonly described as making up a rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.
