My dad is 77 and he has 3 i-pods, small, medium and large. He's totally obsessed with them, and is often online finding new songs to download. This is great because he's slightly deaf and very lonely. I'll bet Apple didn't know that i-pods would be the savior of the elderly and their families. <em>Les Says: You're telling me!

I love love love your folks! So what tunes do you have playing on Dad's iPod? <em>Les Says: None but those that The Trespasser loaded as of yet (I forgot my mp3 cable to do a transfer), but he has a bunch of Louis Armstrong, which I would have added. He also has Andrew Lloyd Webber, Payne & O'Byrne, Sarah McLachlan, and Blarney. I'll be adding The Rat Pack, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Nat King Cole, and Al Hirt from my own playlist next Saturday.
