LP for fathers day ideas please............

So why should other countries sync with the US? Did this idea come from the egocentric Bush Administration? If this truly presents a problem, why not select a new date for everyone?

Back on topic, Chad it will be fun to hear what you chose and your father's reaction.

Chad, the "A Meeting by the River" could be an excellent choice for
several reasons. I've not heard the vinyl version but have owned the CD for
many years and expect the LP is even better. Even on CD, the sonics are
wonderful (thanks to Kavi Alexander). The music is what must be classified as
World Music due to the Indian influence; it is rhythmic, detailed, percussive, and
intricate with exciting interplay between Cooder and Bhatt. Finally, because it is
out of the realm of what your dad typically listens to, it is almost certain he does
not have it on CD.

And I should ad that everyone I've played it for has enjoyed it.

Hi Albert:

You are correct, I missed the"smiley face". To make a face, I expect a nose to be included, such as: :-) or :^) I blew right past the :)

But I also missed the point of your other comments. I certainly applaud your interest and acceptance of other cultures outside the USA. It seems we are saying similar things but in a different way. I was just expressing my frustration with the loss of regard held for America as a result of our Administration's "my way or the highway" attitude toward the rest of the world.

But I probably should not have made any comment since I do not believe it is appropriate to start political discussions within audio sites. 8^)
