I'm In Love With A Wonderful Thing



My son loves his mommy.  He knows I'm slightly off kilter and loves me anyway.  He knows when it comes to music of all kinds (literally everything from Blue Grass to Grand Opera) and I register somewhere around squealing insanity and total irrationality ... throw in Sammy Davis, Jr., Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin, and Tony Bennett and you might as well call for the gentlemen in white carrying a comfy jacket.

...... bewitched, bothered, and bewildered ....

So what does he get me for Christmas (Do you want it now or do you want to wait?)  Gimmee, gimmeee, hand it over NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!  In case you haven't noticed, I'm not well known for my patience when it comes to goodies that I really, really want.  Even the kids came two weeks early.  Whadoyamean nine months?.....

..... Somewhere beyond the sea ...............

At the moment after loading in the first shelf of CDs, I'm sitting with these little white buds in my ears.  The typing is taking a little time as the drummer and I are keeping very close company and one hand is taking time out for snapping fingers.  Did you know you can dance sitting down?

.......... I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you .....

Right now we are on the shuffle setting of the "Easy Listening Mix".  If it gets boring, I simply go click, click, click and it is Jazz, Pop, Country, Folk, Rock, Rhythm & Blues, Classical, or Soundtracks.

..........No, It's just on the street where you live ........

While all of the above is going on, I'm starting to load in shelf number two into a sweet shiny, colbalt blue, anodized thing that is less than three inches high and only about 1-1/2 inches wide and less than a 1/4 inch deep.  ...........Oooh swoon, Leonard Cohen being seductive ........yum. "I'm your man".  Sorry, wandered off there for a moment and forgot what I was doing ... sigh.

Now Tony is picking up the pieces after Lenny broke my heart ...  It's okay Peter Allen is leaving while he's still in love....

In go the Eagles, Ella, Fleetwood Mac, and the Four Seasons Soundtrack for Jersey Boys and I still have nine gigabytes left.  At 16 gigs of room, it's going to be close getting all the 200 + CDs into my pocket, but once I edit out the songs that I never liked, this will leave plenty of room for photos, podcasts, videos and other neat stuff that I haven't learned to play with yet.   Of course, they do have the slightly larger one with the big screen, and I'm up to 1046 songs and 2.6 days of music.  Why I could almost drive across country with the little white ""no I'm not deaf, I'm just punch drunk officer" buds in the ears.  G through Z aren't even in yet.

Now go find someone who loves you.  Grab them by the shirt front and say very loudly and forcefully ... I WANT A NANO!

.............When I fall in love, it will be forever .................

I've still only got an iPod Shuffle which has all the sound but nowhere the capacity of one of these babies ... maybe somday I'll grow up to the big leagues like yourself. Enjoy!!

Ipods are outstanding things! After we get finished with all the construction at my place, I'm getting back into my music conversion project. I still need to finish up converting my cassette music into digital, then I get to start on the LPs. By the time I finish I'll probably be up around 10,000 songs!
