# My Muse

This fellow currently cowering in fear of the scary noises outside is my guide dog. He is the inspiration for Commonthroat and to a lesser extent the yinrih as a whole.  
  
I posted a spliced-together sample of his sleep vocalizations, the ones that inspired the sounds of Commonthroat, over in that thread some time ago.  
  
Anyway, I thought I'd finally share a photo of my fuzzy red muse.
