How romantic! Did you ever sing for him/her/it Ignatz Ratskywatsky's Words Without Music in your clear, firm voice?

AND ... did your Scottie wear a kilt?

Play this one LOUDLY as you march triumphantly into breakfast from your bedroom in the morning, or as you send the dog outside to do his doo-doo. You (& the dog) will be stirred & braced!

I feel as if this march should accompany me everywhere I go.

ooooh, thanks so much for this! i've never heard it before. this is lovely.

No, I never did - not that I actually know who Ignatz Ratskywatsky is and google is not revealing too much info on that

Interestingly, there was that evening when I poured myself into a tight red dress and belted out a few while belting back many - I was, of course, supine on the piano at some point, but still coherent

Here is the piano BTW and my house - that is Maggie in the doorway and Maggie and MiMi (on the right) relaxing on the porch.

I loved that house, but it got sold as did my piano - FUKCER!!!!!!

No, MiMi (short for Mimosa the Sheep) was nude.

OMG - that IS lovely - I may play that as the processional into my 40th birthday dinner this coming Nov. I had planned the overture to Carmen, but this is more spritely!!!!
