Cute music for dogs….

There’s an amazing genre of videos on youtube, which is adorable dog grooming videos……. such as those by SHU AND TREE – I am hooked.

And there seems to be an associated broad ‘genre’ of really cute music….. I tried writing some. And added some freely available videos of dogs.

my songs are all for her

For Her

my songs are all for her whose love I fain would win:
each to her heart a wanderer goes singing, let me in.

her eyes my beacons be, her lips my rosy guides,
and in her heart a melody for every word abides.

be brave, be brave, my song, nor falter in the quest:
love in her heart has waited long to greet the singing guest.

and be it yours to know the latch lift on the door;
once in her heart — go, lyric, go be hers, for evermore

‘For Her’ by Frank Dempster Sherman.

a winter rose

A SONG’S ECHO

My Love is like a Winter rose
That sweetly blooms alone,
That has of rivals none, and knows
A beauty all her own.

My Love is like a tender tune
That wakens tender words,
And fills December full of June,
And brings again the birds.

Her smile, my sun; her voice, my song;
Her face, my flower of bliss;
Oh, who could find the Winter long
With such a Love as this!

‘A Song’s Echo’ by Frank Dempster Sherman

Four more ukulele songs

More short songs I wrote as I learn ukulele. I noticed a few of these have a theme of being sung to/about women or girls (as they’re originally from a book of children’s poetry).

Words by Kate Greenaway (1846 – 1901) from her beautiful books, Marigold Garden and Under the Window — also where the thumbnail art is from. This is another sort of jam session with three songs, one sort of work tape………. and some bonus dog content!
