A guitar, it would probably be acoustic seeing as an amplifier and a mountain of guitar effects would count separate, so it would be an acoustic. writing songs is like keeping a diary to me.

My Journal. More properly known as the book of shadows. i make my own book, bind it and then fill it with everything from poetry, short stories, observations, insights, dreams, spells, herb lore, etc

Record Collection/MP3 Player. Well this would entail every single album, plus a turntable and amp and speakers. Ipods are ok but not as immersive or a the experience of handling a tangible product from the artist, but if it came down to it then an MP3 player… with a huge capacity !

The Random musings of a nobody. “Dagenham Dave”, is slang for someone one stop short of Barking (mad), though more contemporarily refers to any wayfaring and carefree person. Dagenham is a town to the eastern side of London (Luds Dominium) that was first recorded in a Barking charter in 666a.d. as the town of Daeccanham. Daecca is an ancient man’s name meaning ‘bright’ or ‘famous’ . Ham is short for Hamlet.
Dave is short for David, Hebrew for ‘Beloved’, My Surname ‘Wenborn’ derives from old English meaning of the Winding Stream.

Contents:-
1/ Book Reviews.
They’re not reviews as such- to recommend or asway, I neither seek to promote nor condemn, more my personal reflections on the books I read. In that respect it’s a subjective thing. I write the reviews as it instils in the mind, like writing down your dreams on waking, the right to remember.

2/ Short Stories and Tales
Short stories borne from imagination, dreams, thoughts and wanderings. Too large to be written in my journal of shadows.

3/ Full Books
Books that were once published elsewhere, I have full copyright on these, and of course given here freely.

4/ Magazines and Articles
Small snippets and articles that may or may not have appeared elsewhere, and information not included in Journal of shadows.

5/ Poetry
A small selection of poetry. Like song, I create as a means to an artistic diary.

6/ WordPress Challenges
Wordpress (where this website is hosted) offer up a daily prompt for people to answer, sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t.
