I finally got my act together to start making a Picaboo photo album for father's day. I don't think I will have enough time and energy to place the order in time for it to arrive by Father's day. So I am thinking, maybe I can show DH the digital slide show on Father's day, and give him the actual album when it arrives. It was hard to find a song appropriate for this occasion though. Most of the love songs on my computer are out since the album is meant to be from the kids for DH. I did some search and found "Father's Love" by Bob Carlisle. I only need this one song of his. Which online store would you recommend buy/download the song in MP3 format? I don't own an IPod so iTune store is out, right?

In addition, are there any other songs for Father's Day that you know of and like?

TIA!


Cheers, Lin

I just wanted to point out that you don't need an ipod to download from iTunes. You just need their iTunes software, which is available from apple.com for free. It will download in AAC format but you can change it within the iTunes software to mp3.

I checked iTunes, and there are 3 versions of the song you mention.

Also, if you search "Father" with "love" or "child" it returns lots of songs. You can listen to the beginning of each one to find one that is appropriate.

In addition, itunes has a playlist under their essentials category that is called "Father's Day" and is all relevant songs.
