Hi Friend of Splash; Pete Dowan here ! I realize that there is very little chance that this e-mail will result in anything, that's better than the zero chance if I didn't try. I was googling for Dog related blogs and I came across your site and thought I'd contact you. I am a medically disabled songwriter from St Catharines, Ontario, Canada, and have written many songs about many different subjects and in several different styles. One song in particular was a personal thank you to my dog. The song is called "Good Friend". I mention my disability because various factors of my condition stop me from being able to use professional studios to record my songs, so I have to do them here, at home, in my basement, on donated equipment from musicians I used to work with. For the same reason, I also am unable to perform my music live. HISTORY OF THE SONG::: For the first few years that I had my current health condition I had a very difficult time walking. One of my doctors figured out the reason, and when that was dealt with, it was up to me to get myself "going". That's where our dog, Scuttle, came in. He bugged me daily to take him out ... wouldn't let up until I did so. His determination was catching, and within a year we were both going on outings that I never dreamed I'd be able to do again. As a thank you, I wrote the above mentioned song for him. (R.I.P. my boy) If you know it's about a dog, the lyrics jump out at you as being obvious, but if you don't, there's only one line that definitely points to it. I was wondering if you'd like to hear the song, since your blog is about dogs and for dog people. I can send you an MP3, a short term link or it can be heard on my "MySpace" page ... which is myspace.com/petedowan ... the third song on the list. If you would give it a listen, I'd love to get your opinion on it. I DO understand if you'd rather not. And just in case you're interested, the first song on the above page is about our planet, and was a feature in several areas for Earth Day. Have a great day, and keep smiling.
Musically Yours, Pete Dowan [pronounced like plowin' ] pdowan@aol.com
