Re: Know when the holidays have officially arrived?

Herb, Ron, I think it's somewhere in my profile, but I think it true, that if your ipod has more dead people on it than living, you're either pretty old, or very eclectic. I have a little opera and 1 or 2 country songs and a very little amount of rap on there, as well as chamber music, lounge music, rock, lots of reggae, and plenty of 70's disco, and 80's punk. Cecelia Bartoli' next to Dead Kennedys next to Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain next to Bach and Gershwin next to Blue Man Group next to Don Ho next to Carmen Miranda next to... well, you get the idea. And it can be quite entertaining and inspiring to smash them together in playing order, randomly.

I find I have a low tolerance for honkey-tonk and bluegrass, can only take it in small doses, and most rap I just can't care for, especially anything mis-using auto-tune to wax eloquent about prostitution and drugs and murder, but I have a lot more R&B and soul and jazz music. My ipod only holds 4 gigs and it is always heartbreaking to rotate a new song in because I have to take a beloved favorite out. Hoping to score a used 32 gig classic for the holidyas or a birthday, though really there is no such thing as enough storage space for music; you WILL fill it to capacity, whatever that capacity is....
