As stated earlier, I am a "low tech" expert. ..But my son set up one of those Alexis things, and I can tune in toThe Sons of the Pioneers, Marty
Robbins, Gene Autry, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash or Jim Reeves, any time I want.
I can also bring on bagpipes, martial music or Civil war ballads. Not only that, but just this morning, I had her read me Lincoln's Gettysburg address
and reiterate Admiral Perry's words at his victory in the Battle of Lake Erie.. Quite useful, if used judiciously.
Yes Alexis can eaves drop, but since I live alone..she won't hear a thing worth listening to. Besides, if I want privacy, I can unplug or bag her up...
