ongs I Love! Thanks Son / Family : I Treasure Listening To These Songs ...
That's how the headline should finish. Wow, what a great i-pod / journey this all has been. I am sorry to have heard late last night of Steve Job's passing away from his brave and courageous fight with pancreatic cancer for years.
Steve, yo have meant a whole lot for many years to my son and I will include some of these personal stories that tie me to my son and to you indirectly.
We would visit the Apple store in Tyson's Corner for many years. I would drive him. That was before he got his licence. It was my way to be able to spend some valuable and special time with my son and it always included a stop at the Apple store.
My son and family one year gave me an i-pod that when they gave me was already replaced by a newer and more flashy version. I did not care. It was a 6GB version in silver and white and I still have and love it and turn to it for an escape and a certain amount of solace and pleasure - guilty - frivolous - rollicking - loud and intense, emotional and spiritual : music that lifts and cradles and massages and pleases and teases my heart, soul, guts and brain and reaches to all the fibers-sinews-muscles and membranes and stretches of my already very elastic senses : ALL of them. Thanks family, son and Steve. My son downloaded 7-8 hundred of these songs for me : some his choices and many mine. I love it. I will love and cherish and listen to it till I die or until it dies on me : whichever comes first.
No, I cannot see color pictures of the great old album covers : but hey! I want to listen to the music, eyes closed and spirit and body and all that is me soaring to the music into the stratospheres of multiple realities. Wow, thanks Steve for all of this ...
I remember discussing the packaging of stylish, simple, sleek boxes that your products come in Steve. My son called this brilliant merchandising. He went into rhapsodies over this with big smiles, intense facial expressions and his whole body in movement championing you, your packaging and your forward thinking. Bravo to you and your team. You worked as a team and together you all have accomplished a legacy that will always live on. Thanks for all of that. More to come later, stay-tuned.
Thanks my family and my son for this treasure of the 6GB i-pod that I have here right now before me. TONY
