I am burning CDs for my father, who is "trapped in" after a stroke [View all]

They say it will help

I am giving him:

3 CDs of Bach's complete harpsichord concertos

1 CD of Beethoven's 9th

1 CD of Miles Davis 'Kind of Blue'

2 CDs of the MadMen Soundtrack

1 CD of Paul McCartney's 'New"

Have I got all bases covered?

He loves classical, but he's Silent Generation, so music from his "glory days" can't hurt

He liked the Beatles, and I'm sure he'd be happy that after all these years, Macca finally put out a decent album again!
