Original tune composed & performed by Kitty Allen on harp, flute, midi-keyboard, laptop & toothbrush. Additional audio provided by Cornish Rex meow & various electronic effects.
This medium tempo eclectic instrumental tune is dedicated to our Cornish Rex cat, Maynard. Maynard was recently diagnosed with a terminal illness. While he's trying his best to remain an active family member and wonderful companion, he's also struggling. His usual high energy level & comical behavior are a memory & we are content to have him with us for an additional brief period of time, provided he is not suffering. The tune was composed to reflect memories of his mischievous personality, his humor, high energy level & his unpredictable behavior. What I'd give to experience some of this naughtiness now! Finding him nestled in a forgotten hidden box, curled up in a drawer, leaping off basement ceiling heating ducts with a thud, darting out the garage door, & gobbling down treats as quickly as we could present them to him - then immediately crying for more - provided us with a brief nine years of love & entertainment.
RIP, Cornish Rex "Little Cat"
Maynard
