White Dog and the White Dog Army
Wonderful World Wednesday
White Dog and each of the White Dog Army each have special songs I sing to them (and have since they joined us) every day. Each knows “his” or “her” tune and as needed it provides a personal intimate moment, comfort, calmness, recentering, or just a connection to good memories.  Music is a Universal language that speaks to every heart and helps make the World better in the midst of thunderstorms or difficult challenges or even death camps. Nothing else has the power to imbue hope and transport one to a place of beauty and safety like music.

Here is a story of music being made in the poorest country in the World, war torn and stricken with immense poverty. 200 musicians play in a symphony that makes one weep with the joy they produce in the midst of child soldiers, horrible atrocities; musicians so dedicated that they travel for hours on foot just to participate. Please honor these heroes by listening to this 60 Minutes segment about their Orchestra…and then sing, howl, mew,bark, gunt, any noise, but sing to add your unique voice to the World's grand chorus.
