A Song About Treats

Well, sort of. It's kind of a stretch to turn this song, performed by the Jerry Sires Band at Botticelli's earlier this month, into a song about dogs. The song could be sung from the point of view of a dog who wants its owner to "scratch my back and run your pretty fingers through my hair." Muzzy is all for that. There's also talk of behaving and treats, as you'll discover when you click below. Actually, the real connection to Dog Park is the band's able bass player, Dean (standing, center stage, not in cowboy hat or Hawaiian shirt), owner of Bindi, Muzzy's best dog park friend. Rock on, Dean! Enjoy. -z

Put on Your Dancing Shoes!

Music fans, it's time to put on a clean shirt, wipe the Dog Park dust off your backside, and head out to hear some music. Dog Parker Dean (Bindi's dad) is playing around town with his various bands. In addition to his regular Tuesday night gig at the elementary school on Ramsey in Allandale, here are some upcoming events:

Sunday, Sept 6 at Jovitas(6-8 pm)

Friday, Sept 18 at Artz Rib House (7:30-9:30 pm)

Saturday, Sept 19 at Green Mesquite (7-10pm)

Saturday, Sept 26 at Botticelli's (8-10pm)

I think it's fair to classify Dean's music as blue-grassy, certainly not rock. It's the kind of music that Dean can play while drinking a beer. Which means it's probably easy to listen to while drinking a beer—very important.

Check your calendars. For more info, ask Dean next time you see him. Ta. -z
