Perhaps it is my sleep deprived brain at work -- at least something resembling processing of information. My thoughts have moved to the absurd regarding the middle of the night doorbell ringing. It does appear that this is preceded by some loud scratching in the attic, Yes, something has taken up residence there -- a squatter for sure.
I've decided that the creature -- rat, squirrel, or raccoon -- must have dreams of becoming a music star. While I do love music, I'm not sure that I can support practice sessions that occur between 4 and 6 AM. The dedication of the critter is clear; scratching its way into the attic seems to take 15-20 minutes every night -- so it doesn't seem an easy entry to the practice hall. Practice sessions run from 10 to 30 minutes -- followed by a blessed silence. It is interesting that the loud bell tones seem not to be an environmental deterrent stimulus for the critter. Perhaps it has been deafened by the din, which might explain the lack of tonality to the songs being played.
This train of thought brought to mind a couple of musical directions. I've chosen to share both here tonight. Each represents a potential musical dream of this irritating interloper. The first may be in preparation for the 150th anniversary of Canada, while the other may represent the longer term dream. Enjoy!
