[Rhodes22-list] $35 stereo

[Mary Lou Troy]

There sure are a lot of great tunes on that list. And any list that 
includes Richard Thompson is a bonus though I'm going to go have to find 
him doing The Mingulay Boat Song. I've heard lots of traditional singers 
do it but I'm not sure I've ever heard RT's version.

We actually rarely listen to music on the boat, preferring to listen to 
the sounds around us. But I do have fond memories of waking up early 
(early!) one summer morning as a crabber worked his trotline right next 
to where we were anchored in Swan Creek. He was playing Dire Straits 
"Sultans of Swing" over and over again so that we heard the song get 
louder as he approached us and then fade away as he worked out to the 
end of his line - over and over again. Maybe we were right in his 
favorite spot and he was hoping we'd move but I like the song.

And then there was our introduction to a pop song that became a big hit. 
We were anchored in a beautiful quiet spot on Sue Creek, a very wide, 
shallow creek off the Middle River on the Western Shore of the Bay. It 
was quiet until around 6 or 7 pm when a party started at a house on the 
far side of the creek. It was a good distance away but they cranked the 
stereo up loud (loud!) and started playing "Who Let the Dogs Out" over 
and over again. We'd never heard the song before but it certainly made 
an impression. Fortunately they packed it in around 11 pm. I don't know 
how many times we listened to that song but it certainly was memorable.

Mine usually stays in the cabin, so the water resistance has never been tested.  The place you’ve got the velcro for yours is where my compass lives.  I do occasionally put it on the cabin roof in calm conditions.

Then one day I discovered by accident that if a bluetooth device is connected to my iPhone, the iPhone can tell you the battery level of the connected device.  If I knew a 12 year old, I could have probably just asked them.
