Songs on my iPod
What follows is a small sampling of the music on my iPod. These are the tunes that I like to listen to while working out. I have several playlists, depending upon the day’s mood. When I’m energized and raring to go, I prefer 70’s disco music. When I have to (literally) drag my sorry butt to the gym, I find that I tend toward 80’s music. When spinning, of course I crank up those tunes that get my legs moving. Amazing invention, the iPod. Kudos to the boys and girls who created the device. Now if they could only come up with wireless ear phones. Oh well; you can’t have everything, I suppose. What are you listening to?

We have Springfield, Talking Heads, Bobby Fuller Four (and the Clash redux) and Queen in common. If you like Rock blues i’m listening to Albert Cummings new live album and various Gary Moore, Johnny Winter and SRV tunes. And I have to admit there is one Right Said Fred song on the ‘pod …
