The Stay at Home Sessions!

I filmed a bunch of songs and a four part guitar session and a four part ukulele session during March and April 2020. Starting with Little Dog Blues, an original blues (available on the mp3 album HotSauce from Hobemian Records) then some advanced guitar lessons on moving bass lines, Boogie Woogie Guitar 1-4 and on Ukulele Turnarounds 1-4.

Little Dog Blues
lyrics and music Del Rey
Hobemiansongs ASCAP

I had a little dog, he was just right, stayed home with me, quiet at night he was a short haired dog didn’t have no fleas
Little Dog-where can you be?

Next I got a poodle-was a beauty queen, she was the lyingest dog I ever seen, I brought her dinner on a silver plate, turned her back, and she make me wait
Little Dog-where can you be?

Next I got a dog up off the street, I give that dog my finest meat, lord she ate everything in my home, left me hungry and all alone
Little Dog-where can you be?

Next I got a big dog, tall and mean, meanest dog I every seen, I could hear him in the alley, starting a fight, I lay there worrying all through the night
Little Dog-where can you be?

Now if you get a good dog, keep it by your side, give it all your loving’ and don’t try to hide, don’t listen to what people may say how a different kind of dog might be better some way
Little Dog-come back to me!
