Welcome to the Radio Dreamsville Blog.
We started this blog as a place on the web to consolidate the Dreamsville Music Projects. Dreamsville is the website of wonderfully talented British guitarist and composer, Bill Nelson. During the 1970's, he was the leader of Be-Bop Deluxe and later of Bill Nelson's Red Noise. Since the early 80's, has produced an enormous body of work as a solo artist. This amazingly prolific and criminally overlooked artist runs a wonderful website for his fans which includes an active and vibrant Forum. Bill's annual conventions, known as Nelsonicas in Yorkshire attract fans from around the world and are the real world adjunct to the virtual community of his forum.
Bill's generous and supportive nature have molded the mood of the Forum, which is a place where many firm friendships have been made.
One of the Forums on Dreamsville Inn Forum, is called "The World and His Wife", taking it's title from a 1983 Nelson single on his own Cocteau Records.
On TWAHW, as it is called, members post links to their own music and videos. Over time, we have collaborated on a number of projects based around a theme, often connected to a holiday. Since members host their music on a variety of sites, this blog will provide an opportunity to consolidate the music projects under one virtual roof.
We have enjoyed working on these projects together and they have led to many wonderful opportunities for musicians from around the world to collaborate. Several virtual bands have been created in the process. We hope you will enjoy listening to the projects and explore the work of the musicians included within. In time, we hope to post all past and future projects as well as links to contributing artists work.

The Oracle Project: Late Submission
Jeff Farley of lowartmusic was inspired to pen another tune to one of Carole's poems which was completed after the deadline for the Oracle project. Clouds is one of the most delightful renditions of Carole's work, a perfect fusion of melody and lyric... a glimmering jewel of Power Pop, with a killer hook for a chorus.
