12 May 04 - 11:48 AM (#1183899) Subject: RE: BS: What tunings do you use for a small dog? From: pdq Depends on whether the dog is "standard" or "high-strung". |

12 May 04 - 11:54 AM (#1183911) Subject: RE: BS: What tunings do you use for a small dog? From: GUEST,MMario I would imagine it also depends on whether or not the dog is wire-haired; and if it has a long neck? |

12 May 04 - 12:43 PM (#1183946) Subject: RE: BS: What tunings do you use for a small dog? From: Bee-dubya-ell Why does everybody always want somebody else to tell them how to tune their small dogs? Just experiment! Tune his left front leg to a D. Then tune the right front leg to whatever note you think makes a pleasing interval. Continue on around the whole dog and then strum the thing. If it sounds good just play around with it for a while and see what happens. Try "Soldier's Joy" or something and see if the fingering is comfortable. If it doesn't work, just start over. Just be careful not to break any legs. |

13 May 04 - 02:02 PM (#1184919) Subject: RE: BS: What tunings do you use for a small dog? From: dick greenhaus Well, from the depths of a vanishing memory,... Spike Jones once used a goat on one of his recordings. There was a sizeable flap with the Musician's Union as to whether the goat was a musician (i.e. had to pay dues) or a musical instrument. Don't recall how that one came out. |

I find my Sir name is being taken for a ryde. Lay off plebs. If you don't understand what it is to be a fully paid up dog then leave off. As for you Noreen. Just wait until you try and stroke my neck and tickle my ears. I now have influence in Limbrick and can have your passport revoked. Spot |

14 May 04 - 06:37 PM (#1185853) Subject: RE: BS: What tunings do you use for a small dog? From: Inükshük Come on you people! There is only one way to play a dog. You grab the ears in one hand and the tail in the other and you play them like accordians. Cats on the other hand are best played as bagpipes. Bite the tail while squeezing the feline under your arm. |

14 May 04 - 10:50 PM (#1185985) Subject: RE: BS: What tunings do you use for a small dog? From: Don Firth Or as hurdy-gurdies. You crank the tail and it howls. Don Firth |
