Audio Treat

Yay! I have a husband at home again for a few days! I was happy to show off my super technological skills with the iPod. Interesting fact - there are now 662 songs on the thing, but, when it plays random selections, about every 3rd song is by Johnny Cash, Elvis, or the Million Dollar Quartet. It seems that our our music library is begging for a little diversification!

On that note, I'm going to pause and recommend the Million Dollar Quartet album for a refreshing musical experience. It was an impromptu 1956 recording of a jam session involving Elvis, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins (although it seems that none of the songs featuring Johnny Cash made the CD, but perhaps he's still in the background, and he was there long enough for the photo session). The chit chat and interaction of the musicians between songs is so interesting and brings new life to some old favorites. My favorite track is "Brown Eyed Handsome Man", but there are many gems among the 40 (or so) tracks on the album! I've found that it's a great sound track for washing dishes!
