Dear kitty cat lovers,

Mew! Hi. This is Tiziano. I was trying to get Torre to write another Cat Drinking Tales, but you remember that fresh catnip he got in the last newsletter? Well, he's still enjoying it. A LOT!

I can't blame him too much. I like the taste of it too. But I know my limits. I had some and bumped into a table leg. It hurt a lot. After that I decided I didn't want something so strong. I prefer the dried kind. It lets me stay in control.

So while Torre is busy exposing his belly to the world, I will write today's Tails. The catnip is almost gone, so hopefully he will be back to dictating to me in the next edition.

LE VOCI BELLE DEGLI AMICI
Yes. Daddy's teaching me a little Italian. He said he'd teach me Gaelic if he knew it, but hasn't learned anything yet. Ah well. It means, "the beautiful voices of friends." That's what this week was like. We had several singers come in for our CD.

Sarah Dinan and Blake McCaig came the first part of the week. What beautiful voices too! Sarah has her own Celtic band, the Sarah Dinan band. Daddy has a CD of hers. They're a wonderful band. And oh what a voice.

Blake has a beautiful voice too. Daddy said she sings in an Austin band too, Dayz Later, I think. She has an incredible range. Much more than my little mews can do. She was also the one who sang backup on the CD Single.

Last was Ben Hamby. Ben also sang on the Single. He was the drunkard. So much energy too. He's a lot of fun. Daddy said he was in some anime movie and also performs at the Texas Renaissance Festival. I wish I could go see that.

This week will also be exciting. Daddy's bringing in Doc Grauzer on harp and Michelle Hedden to play the bodhran. I can't wait to hear a REAL harp... and live, no less. I'm a fortunate kitty, especially since I don't get out much to hear live music. Instead, it's all coming to us. MEW!

Adopt the CD now.

CAT FIGHT OF THE BANDS
Daddy entered us into a Battle of the Bands contest a couple weeks back. He entered our song "Wild Kitty." It is doing really well, but right now it's only second. I would Love to wing.

Could you please do us a favor and vote for "Wild Kitty" if you like the song? Oh! And Daddy asked me to ask you to vote in the Best of Austin 2005 awards. He's running for Best Poet and has a few friends listed as well. Thank you!

Mew! Love and Purrs.
-Tiziano Gunn, backup meower of The Dubliners' Tabby Cats

TnT are two tabby cat brothers who own a simple-minded human named Marc Gunn, who plays music, writes poetry, and isn't too shabby a photographer. The main reason they bother to keep him around is because he entertains them now and then and isn't too hard to take care of. They all perform together with The Dubliners' Tabby Cats.
