At first I thought, no way, but the voice on the other end said, they’re yours forever. They’re about $5 each, give or take, and they have sales all the time so I thought, why not? I can also print/save tabs.  Now I own the DLs and don’t wonder if the songs will be there when I log on. 

I like the idea that I can download the songs and pdf files, but they take up a huge amount of storeage. Maggie May is almost a gig. But for sure, if it's a song I really want to keep, downloading it is the way to go.


This year the diet is definitely gonna stick!
