Dear Shalini,
If you like pets then pls check my below video. I have just sent the link for competition
1)”Scarborough Fair”
A)http://wikicafe.metacafe.com/en/4578750
B) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0skpl1WX6-4
Name of the PET : Blackie
Breed : Labrador
First time when I played the flute, I was just warming up. Blackie came from nowhere yelping & jumping near me as I played on. It was totally a strange reaction. You must be knowing that the Scientist who invented Gramophone, had his pet react strangely to his voice coming from the Gramophone. That made them use their pet as their logo. It was called “His masters voice”.
This is what made be involve “Blackie” in the video. If you see him in the first picture, it is similar to the logo of “His masters voice”. He is alomost kissing my flute.
Song I have choosen is ” Scarbourough Fair” traditional english theme, which was made popular by “Simon & Garfunkal” in the 70′s
Hope you all enjoy this video
Good day
Best Regards
