Gilbert the Good – musical appreciation

   

Gilbert the Good – musical appreciation

My humans often play music and, being a musical sort of dog, I enjoy listening. Sometimes I join in but I don’t sing like Buddy Liver Spots used to. He loved listening to Maria Callas. He really appreciated her most distinctive voice and accompanied her with his fine baritone.

Instead of singing, I join in with my favourite instrument, the saxo-duck. The Youtube videoclip here gives you some idea of my expertise or it would, if the link worked!! Ditto the uploaded/downloaded/offloaded/unloaded clip from the computer.

I know it was really good because my humans couldn’t stop smiling and they sent a copy of the video to all the family.

  3. Whey~Hey Gilbert,,,How ya do'in bro...! :).
    What's go'in on...HeHe! :)x

    It has been said that classical music is one
    of the best sources of musical stimuli to help
    soothe or calm dogs...
    Similarly, it has been found that soft rock and
    Raggae are also effective. Music can be of great
    benefit to the dog...!
    So...There ya go Gilbert...What ever turns you on...!
    How about Puppy Love by Donny Osmond....!
