I just got back from our local shop where the proprietor got shot last month. His son said he's doing a bit better but isn't walking, probably won't. They never did catch the robber or find his car. I ventured out in this freezing weather because I wanted to enquire about the owner and get my lottery tickets (it can only be a matter of time folks, surely). While I was there I picked up some Cabernet Sauvignon for Craig. It was funny how many people gave me disapproving looks as I waddled my big pregnant bump out of the shop carrying a bottle of plonk!Anyway, not long now before the little fella gets here. He must be as uncomfortable as me at this point. He's started having hiccups too.
Tonight I'm making a start on his music cd. We made one for Jack, as well as a journal, a scrapbook and enough photographs to wallpaper the Empire State Building. As much as I don't have quite the energy to do it all again to that extent we don't want this little boy to be treated differently.
Danny's music cd will include our current favourite songs and some classics. I also want to include songs that our friends like. Here's my list so far...
Really want but can only find on YouTube (see below) ~
Ray LaMontagne & Damien Rice: To love somebody
Recent Favourites ~
Ray LaMontagne: You are the best thing
John Mayer: Free fallin'
The New Pornographers: My rights versus yours
Elbow: One day like this (the song from my best friend's wedding last summer)
Oasis: I'm outta time
Coldplay: Viva La Vida
Coldplay: Viva La Vida
Ben Folds: You don't know me
The Verve: Rather be
Keane: Perfect symmetry
Amy Winehouse: Back to Black
Amy Winehouse: Back to Black
A couple of cheesy songs, but must-haves ~
Johnny Cash: Father & son
Shane McGowan: Danny boy
Okay, anyone know how on earth I can snaffle music from YouTube so I can get this fabulous song on Danny's cd?

I only know any music I want I download from Tesco or Amazon. Good luck with finding what you want for your CD. Great idea.
Sad news about the owner of your local shop, maybe time will help, it is early days maybe.
