It is a lame reference, the title, It goes back to the Hip – the best known home town band. But as I sit here with my my grandmother Violet in my hometown, in the hospital and watch her tapping her feet to the music that my friend Gary put on the MP3/radio that he suggested that I buy her… I can’t help but think about music. What is interesting is that she loves the new toy but she is also frustrated by it. All day she asks how do I turn it on? How do I turn it off? How do I get to the radio? How do I get to the songs? ” I don’t know how I will ever learn this”, ” it makes me worry”, “turn it off”!
Then she picks it up again a few minutes later interested, this electronic wonder has captured her imagination. “227 songs on there”, she is in amazement – nearly as much as I am. Gary taught me something I never knew about my very own grandmother! She enjoys tapping her toes! It is good to know!

A delightful slice of clashing life experiences. But it all works out delightfully. (“227 songs in here”!)
