I Do Not Own An Ipod

When it became obvious that my Aiwa cassette walkman was doomed, I broke down and started shopping for an mp3 player. I soon found one that fit my needs:recording capability,FM tuner and of course the player itself.My Sansa and I immediately bonded and I was soon pushing buttons to start loading tunes. Aiieee,nothing was happening! Then I after careful examination found it had one of those plastic protective strips..damn I've dealt with stereo equipment for a good part of my life but this facsimile was much too good and i found to my horror that all my canoodling
around with the buttons had left me with a screen that displayed Arabic characters!
Besides thinking what you are doubtless thinking,"what and idiot!" I also felt that feeling


I furiously got on the computer,in the hope that I could rectify it and the Sansa community didn't disappoint. Their forum had a thread explaining that it wasn't that uncommon and giving precise instructions to get to the language page

Nope,true,and their motto is "anything but the nano"..cool.
Anyway this is a playlist of sorts
CARNIVAL OF SORTS(BOXCARS) I remember reading PD James' Death of an Expert Witness;the result was synergistic and powerful

Second,John Prine,Taking a Walk,this deserves many plays,despite it simple lyrics. From Illegal Smile to 2016s album of cover songs Prine doesn't disappoint and has been cited by Dylan,Johnny Cash and Roger Waters as big influences
