Thread Name: Musical assistance for the raccoons needed
Subject: Musical assistance for the raccoons need
Having just discovered the thread of funny animal videos, I hope there will be some interest in this project.

A group of people who rescue or otherwise care for and about raccoons, and other animals, are trying to produce a video to be used for improved public relations for raccoons. The catalyst for this is a raccoons "coon hunt" held annually in Tennessee in mid April. Raccoons are pursued by dogs and hunters and.... This is even more distressing if you realize that mid April is birthing time; killing mothers at that time will leave all their young to die of starvation, not a nice way to go.

Trying to find music to use on such a video is a balancing act. What music will best increase the effectiveness of our message? I am suggesting very traditional fiddle or bluegrass, as a soft background. I feel words might detract from the message. The music needs to be palatable to the widest possible audience.

Any ideas that I can pass along to my dear group of raccoon lovers??
