A special tribute to all our furry friends who make our lives so wonderful! 
Here is a bio of each dog, based on the cover art, starting in the upper left corner, in clockwise order:

Ellie is our five year old shihpoo, who is an eight pound bundle of fluff and love.  She likes playing with her ball and her red hedgehog, as well as taking long walks/hikes, especially when it's not too hot and she knows she can "swim" in a stream. Ellie is quite the vocalist, especially when she's excited about something, or feels the need to inform us of impending danger. 

Callahan or Cal, our granddog, is a nine month old, very spirited Bernese Mountain Dog.  He loves sticks, and his toys, and it's very interesting watching him try to figure out the world such as when he decided to bark incessantly at the grill, or when he came to our house the first time and didn't want to come in the door.

Lucky, the one-eyed dachshund, belonging to our friends, was the life of the party and happily partook of anything appetizing within his reach, including a friend's rum and coke!  Lucky hated it when his pawrents (or us when they were out of town) would leave, and would howl mournfully and incessantly when left home alone in his kennel.

Angel, our dear, sweet, shihpoo passed the Rainbow Bridge 3 years ago.  In spite of having numerous health ailments, including diabetes that resulted in cataracts that had to be removed to restore her sight, as well as twice daily insulin shots, she maintained her wonderful disposition and love of taking long walks for her entire 16-plus years with us.

Jax, our pug who crossed the Rainbow Bridge last November, was one of the nicest dogs, but had a few odd habits.  Jax enjoyed spending time in the great outdoors, where he would sit staring at the sky for hours looking for airplanes, then madly "chasing" and barking at them when they appeared. The only thing Jax didn't like was the mailboxes; he would bark like crazy every time we drove over to get the mail.

Lyrics:

Empty rooms with no pockets
memories are broken
your stories written on wallpaper
the floor beneath your feet is ageing

You won't sit still open water
you're ready to steal open water
just like the swaying arms of the ocean
the calm before the storm approaches

You pick up sticks in your lounge room
the hollow walls leave you frozen
you won't hear a word they've spoken
can you hear it? can you hear it?

You won't sit still open water
you're ready to steal open water
just like the swaying arms of the ocean
the calm before the storm approaches

Four walls were not enough to hold you, windows are behind you
it calls, let the water fall around you and wrap it's arms around you

You won't sit still open water
you're ready to steal open water
just like the swaying arms of the ocean
the calm before the storm approaches

A House That Nobody Owns

Hello my friends this is my new track, I hope you like it___ Cminor Dorian

Life

Norse Mythology:

As the Greatest Warriors are slain, they step from this life to the next,
Where beyond the farthest horizon to the North lies Asgard.
In the midst of this Heroic abode stands the Great Hall of Valhalla.
As the Warriors enter through the multitude of Grand Gateways into Valhalla
they are heralded to join the Mightiest of their ancestors.

All we need

From my collection of very short songs. If you have ever felt like sometimes the earth might fall out from underneath you...this song is a musical embrace.

++++. PROFILE NOTES ++++

Once a wannabe, not yet a has been.

It had been over a decade since I put together a song,
and for that matter basically walked away from music altogether.
Losing hope that I would ever have the time to put into music again,
I finally gave away my 3rd music studio.
I ran across SoundCloud around 2013,
and thought I might take what few songs I had recorded, 
and lay them to rest there.
And there they languished.

HOWEVER, around 2017 I went back to SoundCloud
and began listening a little more and a little more,
and actively taking a part in visiting the sites
of so many wonderful musicians and beautiful songs.
Also, more and more often I would discover that these artists
were blossoming everywhere around the world,
and most definitely worthy of high praise and compliments.

Then suddenly, these old dead soundtracks right here
began to have a bit of life breathed back into them.
From the kind words that began to come trickling in,
I thought, maybe, someday I might give this music thing a try again.

The thing that finally pushed me into action
was a particular SoundCloud artist…Sander Heerings,
AKA https://soundcloud.com/wane-of-summer
 

Not only was he encouraging,
but he began faithfully responding to a few questions,
then a barrage of them.

The final result seemed to be that after a couple of months,
the Old Grinder now has a 4th studio and, finally, a new song.
I hope there may be many more to come.

Thank you Sander, and to the multitude that have dropped in
to listen to these old songs, 
and most of all, for perking up my spirits.
