I’m still not sure how I started writing songs about mules<\/a> (there are three mule tunes to date), but the animal-totem thing seems to be progressing. I have a few dog songs – two are going on my next CD, “Dogspeed” – and I have this uneasy feeling that I’ll be writing songs about cats if I’m not careful. (And if you’re wondering, yes there are two more foster cats<\/a> at home as we speak.)<\/p>\n

Animals are obviously pretty near and dear to me, which is why writing a custom song (titled “Unconditionally”) for Animal Friends Rescue Project<\/a> was so very cool. I worked with Monica of AFRP to write lyrics that would fit the images she had in mind. And since they just wanted a simple song, I recorded the whole thing at home with Garageband and then dropped in harmony from my pal Breanna Eddy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s what the finished video looks like:

Note:<\/strong> This current version is a large, uncompressed QuickTime video. If you don’t have QT on your computer, you’ll be prompted to download it. At some point, this video will be available on a smaller, YouTube-like link, and I’ll have it here on the site. (If you want to hear “Unconditionally” as just an audio track, it’s in the player on my Music<\/a> page.)<\/p>\n

And if you’re in the Monterey Bay area, this Saturday, 7\/19 is the big Paws Fur a Cause<\/a> AFRP celebration at Hidden Valley Stage<\/a> in Carmel. We’re on the bill along with Trusting Lucy, Jonah and the Whalewatchers, and Alisa Fineman and Kimball Hurd. We’ll also be watching the “Unconditionally” video on a bigscreen.<\/p>\n
