Playing to an audience - our cat

I was practising the Mexican Strat today as it has a new trem bar - the old one was too long for me - and now after changing the strings I'm enjoying playing it as much as the American Strat.
Anyway one of our two cats decided to sit in and I didn't know she was in the video until I checked later so thought I'd post it as it's the first time I've played to an audience.

Her name is Echo by the way.

Well played Rosemary, I don't think the yawn at the end was anything to do with your playing!!

Hi Rosemary,
A nice rendition and you are getting a very good tone now. Echo clearly appreciates it! I also have a cat, Henry, a ginger tabby, but he gets up, flicks his tail and stomps off every time I pick up my guitar! Must be something to do with the playing!
Regards,
Paul.

Well done Rosemary, you are getting the hang of it now.
By the way where did you plug in to Echo, I couldn't see a wire
Take care

Hi Peter and Paul
Thanks for listening and your encouraging words.

Many years ago we had a cat who wouldn't let us whistle or sing and only tolerated some of our CDs (actually they were cassettes then I think). She'd walk over to us and rip up the carpet while miaowing loudly if she disapproved

Best wishes
Rosemary

Lovely Rosemary, It's always good to see videos. One of my favorite tunes and from a better time in my life.
Thankyou for posting it
Cheers CC
