What, you don't have a clock? ;-) Just kidding! Yes, it's after the barking
dog interlude. Some of those dog barks just sound like handfuls of Rhodes
with a lot of reverb, while others are more dog-like.

Thanks for the opinions, guys. I guess there's more filter modulation than
vibrato, now that I'm listening to it again. It can't be an EMS, since it
stays in tune. (That's a joke, right?) If I had a Minimoog or a Synthi, I'd
try to match the sound. But noooooooooo!

Okay, back to the Olympics. I love TiVo!
