Dog Tricks
Li’l Chuck The One Man Skiffle Machine
Single release 7/9/23

Dog tricks is the second single release from Li’l Chuck’s upcoming 4th album SO/LO (release date 29/09/23)
Li’l Chuck The One Man Skiffle Machine AKA Christchurch musician David Thorpe is a genuine one man band performing and recording multiple instruments simultaneously.

At aged 51, David got his first ever family dog and this coincided at a time he had been having an extended period of “feeling blue”, blue enough to seek professional help. The daily dog walks and general antics of dog ownership gave him a whole new perspective of the world around him. This resulted in the conclusion that a dog can teach us humans a few tricks when it comes to living life in the 21st century.  

“I’m an analogue guy living in a digital world” says Thorpe “There is nothing better than the wholesome feeling of throwing a stick and the joy of watching a dog running for it with pure unadulterated appreciation”

The song Dog Tricks evolved as a conversation between himself and his faithful companion on those beach walks.

The video was shot and edited by Thorpe across a number of beaches and parks between North Canterbury and Dunedin.

The video is available here on Youtube. youtu.be/6e8qpXtxTSw
