Sometimes I write a song in trade, or on a dare, or in support of a cause, or to salute something or other. This song “Smokey” was written in trade.

I went over and spent a few hours chatting about Smokey, hearing about her photo being used in a giant ad in Times Square, her growing understanding of Japanese, her ability to swear at the neighbors, her various quirks, likes (peanut butter) and dislikes (other dogs), and her life together with cat-friend Banjo and her favorite human, Leslie. Here is the song that emerged:

That is so sweet. And it also reminds me of how much I love your voice
I hope to catch you guys again soon.
I agree with the post above. You have a great voice. I check everyday to see if you have a new song posted. Keep it up.
Would like to catch a show but Cincinnati is over 500 miles away.
