You must be an embryo.
Burl Ives was a great ator and musician/singer. You should see the film "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" with Elizabeth Taylor, Paul Newman and Burl Ives; it's a hollywood classic with brilliant acting.

What did You give Them, out of your vast financial resources?
Your GP's can not possibly understand or keep up with the life you live. So, to connect with you, and express their love, they shared something They enjoy with You. Accept it like a free trip to a far country. And who knows. Maybe that's the next "sharing" thing on their mind. (Bali? Cancun?)
Try this: Listen to the CD every day for 2 weeks, just as an experiment (or out of courtesy to the old folks). If you hate it after two weeks ( I don't think you will ), you can still thank them and tell them you listened. And you will understand and connect with them better. And stay in the will.
My grandkids didn't get anything for Christmas but a cold green picture of a President that disappeared almost immediately.

Your grandparents gave you a CD of Burl Ives? Oh you poor kid! I am sorry but that is funny. What were they thinking. Ha Ha. That's as funny as the kid in that movie ,"A Christmas Story", were a relative gives him those pink bunny PJs. Man, your Granny and Grandpa must be really out of touch. Just kidding, This is funny.

A heafty Bearded Beatnick Folk Singer from the 1950s and early 60s
He's America's Georges Brassens! He's a poor man's Paul Stookey (but not sexually)!
Now, go ask who Georges Brassens is!
I'll give you a hint, he is to French Folk Music was Edith Piaf was to French Soul Singing!
(Paul Stookey was part of Peter, Paul and Mary -- Lemon Tree very pretty -- I love Rock and Roll music and I like to get a chance to sing and play it!) -- he got arrested for doing too many 14 year old girls in North Hollywood, which the others didn't.
