Tom Waits meets Screaming Jay Hawkins via Ween?

I'd read about how dogs could sense/smell cancer and I thought of all the times a dog had been sniffing around me (as they are wont to do) I thought "wow, imagine if everytime they were sniffing at me it was because they were like 'buddy, what are you going to do about that tumour?'"
so from there (and with the music in place) the mental image came to me of some grizzled old man and his poor pooch who is doomed to be able to sniff out cancer wherever he goes.

TVH "Cancer Sniffing Dog"

As the title suggests, this is an instrumental funk track.  Unlike the few instrumental tracks that I've previously done, this one was always meant to be instrumental, with the idea that each instrument would get it's moment in the sun.

Finishing this song is both kind of a relief and a bit sad, I started it something like 5 or 6 years ago... I haven't been working on it the whole time!  I laid down a scratch track of all the riffs back then and probably recorded drums and bass then.  All of the other parts and the solos have been happening at a very gradual rate (maybe one or two a year, heh) including re-recording the bass when I got a new bass and was really stoked with the sound of it, my old one, the pickups had been failing and the sound was so thick and muddy!

So now it's done... time to start the next one
