Subject: Re: [Harp-L] singing dog (and cat.....)

[EGS1217@xxxxxxx]

I absolutely love all the 'dog singing along' stories.  I can  visualize them 
and it makes me smile....especially Tim's poor sad  foxhound...and jerry's 
neat play on 'new blood', lol.
 
 My current dog, Kaya - an American Eskimo, isn't fazed at all by my  
harmonica playing (mostly chromatic at this point)...usually lying on the floor  
cuddled up with her best kitty buddy Kuma..... smiling benevolently at me. So  I 
suspect they both approve...
 
...however, a couple of years ago I had an all-black cat Misty..who would  
sing along whenever I sang...then if I got close enough to the countertop where  
she was perched, she'd bite my hair...hard! ..while purring like the  
dickens.... then calmly continue 'singing' along with me.  I never  quite knew 
whether she was happy about my singing or if my voice  was so  bad I was causing her 
physical pain (perhaps a good reason I've never been  brave enough to sing in 
public and restrict my performing to  harmonica)  ;)

PS Fernando...I only wish Eskies would howl instead of yapping. Kaya could  
pierce one's ears at close range. They're perfect dogs, otherwise. If I hadn't  
rescued her I would have gotten a Siberian, my other most favourite  dog.

I have had several dogs that like to 'sing along' with the harp. Not all  
dogs do 
it, though. My current pet, Scooby the English Foxhound, gets a sad  look on 
his 
face and leaves the room when I get out my harp.

Merry  merry and happy happy!

My Basset Hound Burt always sings when I play. 
Look on Jason Ricci's  myspace for a pic of him and Jason.

Fernando: 

I know this thread shows up from time to time. I had a Husky Siberian  
called Lara. As you may know, these dogs don't bark, they howl. She  
rarely did this, only when the other dogs barked or when I played the  
harp near her. She died years ago, I miss her for many reasons, and for  
these jam sessions, too.
