Music hath charms to soothe the savage beast..................

Apples work, too.

Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.

I can use a bass clarinet to speak to geese.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Do it at a zoo.

[EEGator]

That’s cool.

“...beautiful nymphs in the woods..”

Yeah, I had a “beautiful nymph in the woods” once upon a time, too... I was 19 at the time... :^)

I hope she slathered herself with tick repellent first...

“Apples work, too.”

I have 2 fawns, and a Doe that hang out in my backyard. I feed them apples that they cant reach from my Apple Tree. I find they also like tomatoes.
When I entertain on the weekends we have the music playing, and hang out on the deck. I have a woodpile about 10 yards away in which the fawn lays, and watches us. Too Funny.

I can soothe her savage breasts without music..................or with...............maybe some Lionel Ritchie in the background...................

I could make a few noises with it. There was a lake on campus with geese. One time I was walking with a girl around that lake, and a goose ran up and bit her right on her butt. Talk about being ‘goosed’! 8~)

Deer acclimate to humans pretty well.

The deer is mesmerized by the music and draws closer as the song progresses. “”

Hunters will playing harp CDs...

Years ago, I went off-trail while hiking and got lost. I had a topo map with me, and followed a stream down to a small lake where I thought I could get my bearings. When I arrived at the lake, there was a small deer drinking from the lake, and he gave me sort of a "What are you doing here?" look, but kept on drinking.

Using the map I was able to locate the direction back to the trail and after scrambling up a scree slope, I finally made it back to the trail. Lesson learned: don't go off the trail.
