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

It seems like these other countries should sync with the USA on these types of holidays. What if your dad lives in Belgium but you live in the USA, it would be a complete mess. :)

Chad, let us know what you got and how your dad liked it.

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.

I put my money where my mouth is and ordered the 45 rpm "A Meeting By the River" from Acoustic Sounds (for my own Father's Day present) not long after I posted the suggestion. From the reviews and excerpts I've read, it sounds like this may be one of the best-sounding LP/EPs out there, ever! On top of that, I've heard the CD and like the music. I've been a Ry fan for over 30 years.

Well as many know I am on fixed income so I may send him some Direct to disc albums I just purchased used in premium condition, it probably sounds cheap but its what I can do with all the economy issues........5 albums is better than 1 right? I will clean them on VPI and send them off...........if I can afford a new album I will let everyone know what I went with and as always, thanks!

Pryso,
If you look, Maineiac ended his comment with :) This is what's known as a "smiley face." indicating to readers he was making a joke. I seriously doubt anyone in the USA thinks the rest of the world should celebrate Fathers day based on our calendar.

I'm the one who knew the different dates for Fathers day and called attention to it in this thread.

For many years my wife and I travelled all over Europe and even to Hong Kong and China for vacation. It was easy then, no security issues, we were young and she's an airline employee making it affordable.

Now that we have our son in college and travel is a hassle, we no longer travel like we once did. Speaking for just myself, I love the people, customs, art and food of all the places we visited.

Please remember too, the USA is relatively new.

All of us arrived here just a few generations ago, many from Europe, perhaps even from your home town :^). (My version of smiley face, and no joke).
