Off The Leash

Yep — another rant about dogs in New York City — with a focus on their owners — and their shit.

Lotsa pictures. :-)

Piles of Privilege in New York City









DOGGONE

Over the years, in an attempt to share the joys of all the music that my exploratory obsessiveness has lead me to, I put together compilations of music for my friends – first on cassette, later on CD – covering a wide range of themes and styles. These two-or-three-a-year projects also provided me with a fun, inspiring opportunity to use my graphic art skills to design the packaging, visual expressions to reflect the wonder of the music enclosed.

Not a fan of the domesticated species myself. But after becoming aware of the vast amount of songs dedicated to the critters, I put this CD collection of songs together for a fan of the critters — my daughter, Martha.

Musical P.S.

“Ya Gotta Quit Kickin’My Dog Around” - The Skillet Lickers (1926)

The accompanying animation is from Walt Disney's "Alice and the Dog Catcher" from 1924 — pre-Mickey.
