Our friend Bruce Koon wonders whether music can help calm an animal anxiety attack. Funny he
should ask! Here's Daisy's list of favorites. Pop one into a CD player and soon she'll be splayed out on the floor, rolled onto her back, legs akimbo in pure bliss. You might try them if you're stressed or if you have an animal companion that is. 1) Slack Key Guiter, Vol. 2 (Palm Records), a Grammy Award winner. Entertainment Weekly calls it "pleasant, if somewhat sleepy." Perfect!
2) Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar Masters, Instrumental Collection (Dancing Cat Records)
3) Miaow! Sampler (Big Cat, London), especially Paralyzed Mind of the Archangel Void. (Note: Daisy's not cat-phobic at all.) This one was apparently described as "nocturnal trance music" by a reviewer.
Calming, indeed! But here's a surprise hit, perhaps, in the context of the others.
4) Mad Professor's Black Liberation Dub and Anti-Racist Dub Broadcast
And she's also very fond of
5) Lee Scratch Perry's Experryments at the Grassroots of Dub.
Sure, call her "old school." She doesn't mind.

Bernadette Peters says she sings to her rescue dogs, and they go to sleep. I think she's written a lullaby for dogs. MBB
Now that sounds very relaxing. Right now Daisy is listening to Ray Charles, eyes closed and ever-so-relaxed.
