Guess what, I got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell.

In a nod to the classic Saturday Night Live sketch, a beautiful Golden Retriever/Border Collie mix puppy named Maple adds “more cowbell” as her multi-instrumentalist human AcousticTrench plays an acoustic version of the 1976 Blue Öyster Cult song “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper”. Here’s the original SNL sketch.
