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.

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).

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^)
