        <description><![CDATA[Ordinary guy just trying to make a living and if I bring joy to people then that's a bonus. Native of the UK, we have a beautiful country with so much diversity in scenery and accents and I have been privileged to see some of it but still many parts to explore. Grown up with an appreciation for music of many genres and as we age so do our tastes change and viewpoints. There are many talented songwriters and singers and whilst most of my music tastes are of years gone by I still appreciate the quality of the modern day music. The same is true of Art, there are so many styles and mediums and I used to enjoy visiting a local Art Gallery and like music it is what appeals to us that we value and it can give us a greater appreciation for the variety that we can all enjoy.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Hoping to get my new song uploaded in due time and maybe some more videos. I finished 'Gonna Blow Your House Down' but I am also trying to get a different version of the song completed, I've been experiencing problems with the release of my song on the record label that I am using, as the French would say, 'C'est le Vie' (such is life).]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
In my hometown of Marske-by-sea in northeast England, there is a toilet block on the way out of Marske that usually gets covered in Graffiti, however, the local Council may have paid somebody to do an aesthetically pleasing image, which I have uploaded.<br>
I decided to write some poetry about it that I hope you'll like. <br>
I have posted the text below;-<br>
Is it a plane, balloon or Kite?<br>
Or could it be a girl taking her first flight?<br>
On her, there are no strings<br>
She's free as a bird, without the wings<br>
In windy weather<br>
She's light as a feather<br>
That's young Heather<br>
She's blown away<br>
On a windy day<br>
On a toilet wall, sited on Marske Stray<br>
Is it a Banksy, since he's the Papacito<br>
Or maybe it was painted by a Jovencito<br>
Whoever it was, I'd like to meeto<br>
It's the kind of talent that I'd like to acquire<br>
In works of Art that do inspire<br>
To earn loads of dosh and then retire<br>
So, it's back to the drawing board once more<br>
To find the brush to paint the door<br>
It'll be no Mural, I can assure<br>
The hairs on my brush are getting fewer<br>
So, the next time you go out for a walk<br>
Open your eyes wide just like a hawk<br>
The things you'll see might fill you with wonder<br>
Unless of course, there's rain and thunder<br>
The sights will remain in your memory<br>
as you'll recall, whilst drinking your tea<br>
So, may your world be full of colour<br>
To enrich your life and make it fuller<br>

                <description><![CDATA[<br><br>
I have written two 'books' or should I say, 'short-stories' about 'The Big Bad Wolf,' which books are not suitable for children, the age bracket would be mid-teens to adults. It had been my intention to get my books narrated, but as with most people, lack of money is the problem. Anyway, in my second 'book' 'The Return of The Big Bad Wolf' he has a successful record called 'Gonna Blow Your House Down' and so I had to write the song, especially if the book would have been narrated. I'm currently in the process of getting it recorded, I anticipate two versions of the song, the Wolf is a rapper, but the first version is likely to be 'funky' (maybe), but I hope to get a rap version done too. <br>
The kindle version (which are the cheap versions) of both my books by Marko Van Dango, are available on amazon in Australia and in Germany should anybody be interested.<br>

                <description><![CDATA[Finally completed the 'son' of 'Tickety Boo.' An Irish version that stands alone in it's own right. This song was written in response to a suggestion made by Ryan Tubridy on RTE Radio in Ireland. I had sent Tickety Boo to the Irish Eurovision team to see if they wanted to use it, with obvious modifications, since the song is typically British. The Irish Eurovision team had already chosen their candidate but sent my song onto Ryan. He interviewed me on his show and suggested doing an Irish version and that instead of Tickety Boo, he said that in Ireland they would use Ceart Go Leor (Kart Go Lore- phonetically). I eventually wrote some more lyrics suited to an Irish audience and found an amazing talent online in the form of Neil Fitzgibbon and he composed and arranged the music with an Irish feel, but sticking to the original structure / format. The result was an amazing job done by Neil, Ciaran (the vocalist) and others. I'm really happy with the result. I have also been working on another song if I'm able to get it complete. Watch this space. ]]></description>

I wrote this song a lot of years ago in 2003, prior to writing it I was driving in the city of York (UK) and stopped to allow a young man cross the road. As he was crossing he turned to me and my old friends and said 'Tickety Boo' and that made me laugh. Later I became unemployed and was inspired to put down the lyrics in my head and through a friend was able to get it recorded locally. The lyrics reflect the many adversities that we all face which can crush our spirit, so hopefully the song is fun and inspirational. Many of us get ideas in our heads, something that we like to do, however many of us fail to realise our ambitions but thankfully opportunities do come along and then we can achieve what we want, so never give up. You can buy the song on iTunes if you wish. I also completed a book entitled 'The Trial of The Big Bad Wolf' on a website called Blurb.co.uk so if anyone is interested and they would like to buy it you can, the author is Marko Van Dango. Does Crime Pay? Take a look and read the book and be afraid all you Wolves!!!!<br>
