Happy Trails From The Quicksilver Messenger Service
The Songs And The Band Introduction I remember when I first saw the artwork of this album, I thought the cowboy was riding away from the viewer towards the homestead in the distance.

Ode To Vocal
Vocal may not be too happy about choosing their platform as "ordinary", but to Vocal members, it is something where we are at home, something we take, rightly or wrongly, for granted.

The Carrion Crows Of These Times
Introduction My posts are usually just positive and not too whiney and complaining, but this is just about some things in modern life where things that ride on the back of other things have become nothing more than pernicious vultures, carrion crows or leeches, draining resources from the very things that they feed off, without seeing the final endgame that once their golden goose is dead then they will not be far behind.
