January 29, 2013 | Leave a comment Hi Friends, Yesterday I had a fun gig up in Peekskill, NY at the Beanrunner Cafe. I played a set in front of my friend, the very talented Arlon Bennett. As Mike and I launched into our first song a little girl got up and danced. Danced and Danced. I’m sorry, I’ve forgotten her name. She’s 4 or 5 years old. She had a squinkie (?) toy. A very tiny Dalmatian. The name? Fire Dog! I attempted a number of times to come up with a tune with Fire Dog in it. I didn’t do very well… but was able to got her in my own songs here and there. On the way home it hit me: Fire Dog, Fire Dog Come home with me we’ll play house, we’ll play tag I’ll make us tea Fire Dog Fire Dog Won’t you come home with me —- After about my 4th song we sang the little girl’s favorite song: The Alphabet Song. The whole room sang. It was lovely. John
