Oh Dear....." a whole lot of whistling after the bridge". LOLOL. I'll just have to lip synch whistle at concerts. Great plan! I'm having a whole lot of trouble imagining Adam doing a whole lot of whistling. Maybe I'm having a brain lapse, but I've never heard Adam whistle, ever.

I 'm with Dancy. Can't whistle but can (or could!) dance! Speaking of dancing, I just got back late last night (plane was delayed several hours) from visiting my Dad for a few days. My Dad is 85. One by one I've seen him have to give up various activities - hiking, backpacking, bicycling, and other outdoor activities. He is very slow walking and has to be very careful, especially going down stairs, and uses a walking stick when walking further then from his house to car. BUT, HE CAN STILL DANCE!!!! And the ladies LOVE him! And he has several dance partners!We went dancing 2 nights while I was visiting. Friday night we ate & danced at Mama's Blues Room where we danced between the tables. Saturday night we danced at JJ's Dancehall Lounge, a local honky tonk bar, which actually had a nice little dance floor. Both places had local bands (Dad prefers dancing to live music) playing popular oldies and country. The first band even played Fat Bottomed Girls! The bass player said that he saw Queen live in '75, in New Orleans. And he knew Queen was touring with Adam!
My Dad loves Freddie! The only video that he has purchased for his Amazon Kindle Fire HD is the Queen Rock Montreal video!!! I was hoping that he would love Adam, but that has been a long slow process. When Dad, by brother, and I went on vacation to Colorado JuLY 2010, neither of them wanted to listen to my FYE or Idol CD's of Adam. They complained of his "screaming". Then during a visit to Dad's a year or two ago, I was playing WWFM from Acoustic Live over Dad's stereo system as I was working on his computer. Dad came into the room and wanted to know who was singing. I told him it was Adam and he said that maybe he would have to change his mind about Adam. PROGRESS! Then during this visit, I was setting up Amazon Prime Music streaming service on Dad's Kindle. After loading a lot of Dad's favorites to his Amazon Prime Music library, he asked me if there was any Adam music on Amazon Prime Music! Acoustic Live was not one of the free albums, but FYE and Trespassing are, so I selected both of those. And then I played Shady for him which is my favorite from Trespassing. Shady is a great song for dancing the West Coast Swing dance which I knew Dad would hear. He liked it! Can't wait to buy Dad TOH and Acoustic Live for his Kindle!!!
So, this brings up a problem that I am hoping that some of you might have some suggestions for. Dad has ok distant vision, but his near vision is really bad and getting worse. He loves to read, but even the large print books from the library are not large enough now. On his 8.9" Kindle, he has to use the very largest text size for reading books and that is just about right. But selecting the large text size for books does not change the text size for any of the other applications on his Kindle. So he cannot read the artist/album/song names in the music app on the Kindle, etc. He has to guess by the album picture. The problem is even worse on his cell phone. I have looked all over for a good cell phone where EVERYTHING is in large text and cannot find one. It has to work in a small town where cell phone carriers are limited, AT&T is the only one with a local store.
ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR CELL PHONES, TABLETS, ETC, WITH LARGE TEXT THAT CAN BE READ BY SOMEONE WITH REALLY BAD CLOSEUP VISION WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
I don't know anything specific. My daughter belongs to Amazon's Audible book club. She spends all summer gardening and listening to books. Actually, whenever she does chores, she's listening. She uploads many of her books onto an old iPod for her father. They both often read on their Kindles and listen at the same time. Anyway, that made me think of text-to-speech phones. AARP might have some suggestions.

We will have to team up! I can't dance worth a hoot, but I can whistle. I can also tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tongue, evidence of too many nights in the bar. I am quite good at whistling, I can dance, I can roll my tongue and I can snap my fingers. BUT - I always have been in awe of people who can make a knot into a cherry stem with their tongue... How the heck does that work? And I have no excuse, because I spent a lot some time in bars and still can't do it 4 out of 5 ain't bad! I'm batting a thousand.

I write lyrics, and anyone who does would say to not take them literally. "Died last night in my dreams..." "The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had"
