The diary has been a good idea. Music sounds completely different when you know who has a dog, who drinks coffee, or who is kicking the tires of a broken motorcycle.. :)


Aito, I`m having a panic attack. My future wife told me last weekend that we should get a dog. Will this change the sound of my music? I`ve run an internet search for dog-owner EQ settings but came up nada. Do I really need to choose between having a relationship and staying true to my sound (and that is MySounds asking :D)?



Don't worry, my friend. I had a dog and i have a wife, so I can answer this!


When you come home from a bar and fall to the floor of the hallway, you always have good company to talk to, as the dog has the energy to listen to your drunken stories. Your wife is more interested where you get the traces of lipstick on the collar of your shirt

When you're walking your dog in the rain, you'll have time to worry about all your worries. They disappear with the rain.
Your wife won't disappear anywhere, even if you sometimes want to be alone for a while.

When your wife yells at you so loudly that her face turns red, the dog will always come to you to ask for petting.

If you lock your wife and dog in the trunk of your car, which one of them will greet you happily when you let them out? Dogs are man's best friend


So, does a dog change your music? Yes!
You will become a much calmer person because the dog will calm your mind. On the other hand, marriage can sometimes raise your blood pressure, so situation evens. So your music won't change much.

I am grateful for the advice. I just hope that Shamika doesn`t get any ideas about a dedicated forum for musicians wives where they can let off steam.

I used to have dogs. Mrs. Gee was not that keen on dogs it has to be said. Anyway, after a few years of marriage we had a couple of kids, and I was quite happy with life as it is. But Mrs. Gee had other ideas, she wanted another baby. So I sensed an opening for a bit or bargaining and negotiations. I told her she can have another baby if I can have a dog :D . Clever, no? Because I would have had the baby anyway, even two more. My Job is easy ;)

Anyways, so my lovely daughter was born 23 years ago. And the dog? What dog???? I was conned!! Tricked!! Denied!!! Dogless ever since!!! No dog :(
