He is working pumping gas
And he makes two fifty for an hour"

Just curious, what is inspirational about that?

Henry - sorry to hear about your grandmother. I will say a prayer for her.

It's not inspirational, I admit -
just upbeat and fun!
(Which can be good and positive and healing, also.)

I keep trying to offer my own suggestions but, all I can think of is "what if she hates it?". This just seems to be an inappropriate time to recruit a fan, despite how much you think it might help. Putting something in front of this woman that you KNOW would uplift her spirits is way nicer and more thoughtful than introducing her to magic of Stevie.

I'm 41 and I'd rather slip into a coma than be forced to listen to the crap my younger family members enjoy.

I see what your saying, but I have a pretty good idea of what my grams likes ( she kinda raised me and is like a mother to me... were very close ) She is the sweetest person ( everything a grandma should be ) and probably would'nt complain even if she hated the music. The doctor says that the stroke might affect her personality and she could be mean or snap at people ( which I have never seen her do ) So far she has'nt done anything like that, although I can tell she is very frustated.
I had put Landslide on the cd, but I also have things like Louis Armstrong " What a Wonderful World and Allison Krauss's "Down to the River to Pray" which she has heard and she likes. So it does'nt have to be Stevie just something encouraging but not in an annoying way
Thanks for all the ideas
