TURN UP LOUD!
Slow Blues dedicated to all dog owners in a sort of "Bring it on Home" style groove about a very dear companion I had many years ago - Mandy was with me through some very difficult times indeed, and here I fondly take a look back...enjoy! (-:

Many thanks to all for the kind comments on this my first song, well the first i actually managed to complete anyway! More on the way, plenty of inspirational material out there to draw from (-;

Great song that brings a tear to my eyes.  Thanks for sharing.

 

I had one just like Mandy when I was a kid, named Brandy.  She and I would play in the creek together all day.  Sadly, she was hit by a drunk driver when I was 7.  We still miss our last dog, a Dalmatian named Killian who trekked all over the mountains in Colorado with us.
