Sweet Dreams for LZog

KZog has nearly as many projects in the works for LZog as I do. Nursery renovations, bookcase-building, and, perhaps most importantly, crafting ways to share his love and talent for music.

He has set a mission to record several songs with the aim of lulling LZog to dreamland. But no "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" for our future rocker. We have compiled quite an eclectic list of tunes, including Guns 'N Roses' "Sweet Child of Mine" (on ukelele),  Burt Bacharach's "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on my Head," and Tom Petty's "Free Fallin'". We'll ease LZog into the likes of ZZTop and Zep, though I think we did try a version of "Black Dog" on the ukelele (which, incidentally, our black dog hates. She prefers Stevie Ray's guitar to Bonham's drums.) 

Ukelele, you say? Earlier this year KZog acquired a baritone ukelele from his Granny and quickly adopted it as his go-to instrument for accompaniment. He tinkers more with this four-stringer than his guitar these days, but it does lend itself nicely to softening the edges of hard rock songs for new ears.

As he often does (and seldom do I protest), KZog has recruited me to act as vocalist, engineer, and video producer. So, we've put together a mini-video melding some of the photographs collected for our nursery decorations and part of our recording of "Hang on Little Tomato" by Pink Martini. 

(Since posting, I have learned that the video does not appear on some mobile devices. Click here to link directly to the video.)

We would love to add some songs to LZog's playlist. Post your suggestions in the comments!
