[Dailydrool] Pacific Basset Feet

[Elizabeth Lindsey]

I'm not really sure how this thread started, I missed the initial  
post. But our Elsinore and young Charlie would like to be signed up  
for the fleet.

Every branch of the military has a band and chorus. Since Elsinore  
and Charlie are wonderful singers, they'd like to be part of the Army  
chorus. They've chosen Army out of a sense of family loyalty because  
that's the branch Ken and his father, uncles, grandfather, etc. were in.

Elsinore sings with great feeling and concentration, and she's got  
pretty darned good timing and dynamics for a hound. She really does  
seem to be feeling the music, sometimes singing full out, sometimes  
humming softly, and sometimes sitting out a bar or two before  
starting up again. She prefers classical music, and she's very happy  
being a soloist.

Charlie, on the other hand, is our happy little yodeler who wanders  
all around the melody. He assures me that what he's doing is called a  
descant. I think he's not really paying attention to what the  
accompanist is playing. We've agreed to disagree on this. He sings  
only when Elsinore does, never on his own, so his place really is in  
a chorus. Although, he's been working on his hornpipe jig lately.....
