Unfortunately Denmark didn't happen for us, due to both the Board and

wonderful guitar song "My dog has flees". It may have been a hit
somewhere, although not here as it so happens.


You're a liar. "My dog has fleas" as used by Hoagy Carmichael in a
movie was not a song, but a method of tuning his ukelele. There may
be a song, but you did not recognize the term and the name Hoagy when
I first posted it. Cover your ass, Connor, your slip is showing.
Maybe you can tune your skin flute with it.

I did not write the above you ****ing moron. Paul Arden did.

The "song" " My dog has fleas", is a mnemonic to help people remember
what a tuning sounds like. It is also used to learn a fingerpicking
sequence. Carmichael may have used it, but he didnīt invent it.
