Nice stories! Sometimes my cat gets a bit restless when she hears a theremin, but she gets used to it rather quickly and only twitches her ears when there's something new going on...

^Our pup seems to think we're in distress when we sing. Everything from Peter Gabriel to Happy Birthday gets her wound up and acting very concerned for our well being. Could it be we're not as good as we think we are? And when I start bopping around to Yes, Joe Jackson or Thomas Dolby I think she's afraid I'm having some sort of convulsion. Dogs !

Funny, suitkees, I was thinking of possibly using an animal theme for the next Interactive Poll that I'm presenting in a few weeks. Great minds!
I am not a good singer whatsoever, but my dogs have always liked me to sing to them. One of my dogs, when I first got him, was really noise-sensitive, and it took me a while for him to listen to my harp practice (no, I'm not THAT bad! LOL). Eventually, he came to quite enjoy hanging out at my feet when I played. He never did learn to tolerate the sound of the psaltery though (played with a bow), so I still haven't learned to play that. This particular dog, loved a song I made up about going to doggie daycare, which he loved to do, so whenever I would start to sing that song, he'd jump up and come running, wagging his tail. When my husband was alive, all the dogs and cats would flock to the music room whenever he played piano, in particular. I also have a friend who has an African Grey parrot, who is very particular about the music he likes and doesn't like, and lets her know in no uncertain terms about it. |

I played cello in a performance of the Saint-Saëns piece like 15 or
16 years ago. I didn't know about the Ton Scherpenzeel version, thank
you. I love that piece and definitely want to check that out.

^ Good idea. You could also very appropriately try the Aquarium by Camille Saint-Saëns, from his Carnaval des animaux - if you want it more proggy you can take Ton Scherpenzeel's version of it...

I think his idea was that since he's a fish he likes the aquatic theme Maybe I will try playing Gentle Giant's Octopus for him.

Most recently I had guinea pigs, now my kids are my only pets (and they aren’t kid goats). Guinea Pigs are Prey animals and quite nervous so I avoided Hawkwind, The Eagles, and Cat Stevens. Not sure how they would have liked the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds. I almost always listen to music in the house via earbuds or headphones, even when alone, and these days I’m hardly ever alone in the house. I did play guinea pig sounds not of the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds variety for them and they did perk up seemingly.

^ Now, that Sponge Bob theme song is moving between Rap music and Pink Floyd ![]() For those who don't have a pet animal: adopt a spider! They're very sociable, easy in maintenance and they keep all the cows, sheep and pigs out of the house... very useful. You could call him/her Bert (or Berthe, if you insist) - they're all called Bert anyway - and they're known for appreciating almost all kinds of music...

My dog likes the sound of UPS and FedEx trucks making a stop in front of the house. Otherwise, he seems to be mostly indifferent to music.

Well, Lizzy is quite well known for high levels of flatulence, and said levels do tend to increase vastly when contemplating modern Yes to the proper Anderson led version.

^^ Ah, poor Stinker... Maybe it was the association of the move with the music of Brave that took away his braveness...? Nice to read that Allie very much enjoys prog - good thing! Fang means "wind" in Chinese, any link? I thought dogs would be more interested in music, but apparently their stomach has some kind of priority, as JD's post suggests too...
Did you try some musique concrète? She might like it (or get crazy...)! Edited by suitkees - February 19 2021 at 11:36 |
