I kept saying that I was tuning the piano, not playing it. Eventually she said, "Okay, I'll sing it for you." Sat two feet away in her wheelchair and sang(?) one song after another ....<BR><BR>Alan Barnard<BR>Salem, MO<BR>Joshua 24:15<BR><BR><BR><BR> <DIV style="PADDING-RIGHT: 5px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 3px solid; PADDING-TOP: 5px"> <HR> Original message<BR>From: "Mike Kurta" <MKURTA@ADELPHIA.NET><BR>To: Pianotech <PIANOTECH@PTG.ORG><BR>Received: 09/27/2006 6:51:58 PM<BR>Subject: Homer the singing dog<BR><BR> <DIV align=left><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>    Every few years I run across a dog that likes to sing while I tune.  I'm not sure if they are in pain or they really enjoy it.  Today was unique.  Homer, a black lab would howl a note at the pitch I was tuning.  He would usually start out on a different note and slide up or down until he hit it.  It wasn't dead on, but close enough.  He would even adjust an octave up or down to stay in his vocal range. Homer's owner wasn't aware of her pet's talent, but  it became distracting so we put him outside where he continued to accompany.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>    Any other singalong stories ??</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>    Mike Kurta  </FONT></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
