A dog I saw in the local park (Worthington Park Sale) yesterday was busy licking a brick!
Fascinated I switched off the "audible book" on my iPod in order to film it
(with the owner's permission of course).
This dog, called Benji, has always loved rocks, pebbles, bricks and stones
he even dived once into suspect waters to retrieve them
(which was the cause of the infection that lost him an eye).
The background sound is of the licking dog himself and the local children who were fascinated
by his antics just as much as I was.
I added a little laid-back ragtime - composed today especially for the scene - which I've called "Bricklick Benji"
for piano and melody instrument - in this case jazz guitar.
The bass line is - of course - an ostinato - to reflect Benji's obstinate interest in stones etc.
The score and parts can be obtained from
