I have always had an
affinity with music and decided a few years ago to commit my music for
recording. Eventually recording began in September 2006 with the album becoming
complete in May 2007.
The album is a blend of my
own songs and public domain songs (traditional songs) on 2 CD's. These range in
genre, there being rock, popular and country (Scots &
Irish).
I called my album
"Heartstrings". I chose this name as animals have always tugged at my
heartstrings. Animals have featured greatly in my life and I have always enjoyed
my time with all the animals that have touched my life. I felt it only fitting
that I repay them in anyway I can, and that's the reason for this website, not
only to bring you music but also let it be available for download.
If you should download this album for your
pleasure and in return make a voluntary donation to any of the Charities, Animal
Sanctuaries or Shelters in the Highlands & Islands/Moray districts or any
such facility in your area this would be very much
appreciated.
I have listed all Animal Shelter/Charities in the
Highlands & Islands/Moray, these charities are run by dedicated and caring
individuals and any donation no matter how small will help pay vet bills,
heating costs and provide food. I am sure any animal in need would welcome your
generosity no matter how big or small the donation.
This appeal is strictly
non-profit making and no money comes to me, all costs of hosting this website
are made by myself.
Animal charities receive no
government or lottery funding.
As the “credit crunch” has bitten hard many people no longer can afford
to keep their pets, also people who have had to move to smaller accommodation
are often not allowed to keep pets. The challenges facing animal charities is
always growing with animals with large litters also needing
attention.
Many of these animals will
be picked up and cared for by the Animal Welfare Charities/Shelters yet 2009 is
providing them with less donations to work with. We appeal to any individual or
group, planning fundraising initiatives or any charity committees to consider
the needs of Animal Welfare in your
community.
XMAS

We would like to sincerely
thank all site visitors for there support this year and to those who managed to
assist their own animal charities & shelters. As we approach Xmas animal
centres become increasingly busy and more in need of funds, why not start your
Xmas shopping at one of the many animal charity stalls that are selling
Christmas cards, calendars, gift tags and gifts as we approach
Christmas.
Finally we would like to
wish you and all your 4 legged
companions a really great Christmas and a peaceful and prosperous New Year!
