DannyM & GeorgeC: your boats’ namesakes are saving classical music??

[gwhiz]

Just saw my first Bluey cartoon (late to the party, I know). Charming.

Seen this?

I was at my kids house in Delaware for Easter and Bluey was on TV, apparently I was the only one watching especially after the Bear was playing drums like Bonham. This lead me down the proverbial rabbit hole and I started some light research on the subject and I tried explaining this to my kids and was immediately mocked (some good natured ribbing) at least my 35 & 42 year old daughter year old son who are into classic rock understood. Glad someone in this forum brought it up as I felt a little stranded. Thanks so much for posting this.

Danny, our daughter visited from Southern California recently. When we left her dog and ours behind for the evening, she had us put on Bluey as background noise— that's what she does habitually whenever she leaves the dog alone.

Now we do that too, but... My concern is, when my dog sees your boat? She's going to start crying and whining because it's now associated with being left behind.

(To prevent this, we put Bluey on the TV but also set out a bowl of chicken wings,
 and peanut butter before we leave. Rest assured, she will see you show up with Bingo and no doubt start drooling...)
