RE: Dogs or pets and music

Guy I knew had a dog who sung along with Pink Floyd - Dogs.

Very mart dog, could count up to like eight, knew all the parts of his body and his right from his left. Almost could speak, just not quite. We swear he knew English, he demonstrated that kind of understanding when we had discussions.

We also got him climbing the tree out front, had a nice split in the middle he took to. They lived on a fairly good sized street with traffic, right at a highway exit. In fact that was the reason for the tree, too many times they had to rebuild the porch because some asshole either slid into it on the ice or the cops chased them into it.

So then we had him sitting up there and people are slowing down to look.

But he liked music and his owner was well... Let's put it this way, he didn't care about bass or treble, mainly midrange and loud. He hated dynamic range compression but always let his amps clip. WTF ?

But the dog liked it, the cats always ran away.

Incidentally, did you hear about the person who had real problems with their pet, I think a bird, when they cranked the tunes ? Probably not, now I think of it it was a posting on a Usenet group. The tech found the amp was putting out ultrasonics when running normal and we couldn't hear it, but the pets could. Same guy, another time found the same with a monitor (they were CRT then) when it went into certain modes. The horizontal sweep, we also never herd.

The guy is extremely good, I mean world class good. he is a jew, has contacts and therefore contracts, and in his spare time does repairs for normal folk. Much of his work is in microwave and propagation n shit like that. Usually charges really cheap, mainly for parts. I think he is a pretty cool guy, as long as he stays thousands of miles away because he could drop the bottom out of my already low rates.
