Need help with something

Hey everyone. I need help with something. I have listened to all of the Uke songs! It is an amazing album, and I have purchased the DVD, but am looking for a way to show my mom a few songs from the album so that if she likes it she can buy it or I will for her. There's no question that I will have it myself purchased but I don't believe in burning her a copy; Even my own mother. I just don't feel good about that, but a week ago on NPR I could hear all the songs, but I cannot any longer. Which I understand, but just to be said, I am not hear trying to cheat the band or Eddie or anything like that. I just want my mom to hear some Eddie songs from the new album so she can appreciate it and buy the album or I can buy her a copy for her bday coming up. I personally want to get the tenclub version with the UKE book, but all my money has been tied up in tickets for all these events plus some personal stuff. I know the whole new age is all about downloading and burning cds for people. I guess I am just old school. I like having the actual album, cd or LP preferred.

Anyway, long story short. I just want my mom to hear a few songs and get her opinion. If she likes it I want to buy an additional copy for her. But I can't find any longer any songs for her to hear online.

Can anyone help give me a couple of samples? I am not asking for the whole album. Just a few songs, as I have already sent her videos from You Tube on a couple of tracks.

PS I have sent her the video for Can't Keep and Longing to Belong. But I want her to hear "tonight you belong to me" and "without you" my favorite song on the new album.

    Try having her listen to the previews on Amazon or iTunes. Or try YouTube. You know Can't Keep and Longing to Belong videos are on there and to be honest people have probably uploaded more tracks from the album on there as well.

    Ok, I will try that.
    I am trying to convert my mother. She turns 63 this month. She was a die hard Beatles and The Doors fan in college, but I haven't gotten her into Pearl Jam. She respects them. She appreciates the talent. Unfortunately most of their songs are too hardcore for her. But I played her Into the Wild. She digs Eds voice, but her only complaint is that the music is so depressing. I told her, well, that's just the way it is. A form of expression and Ed just being Ed on his songs. She definitely respects him and the band and especially how much I love them, but I really feel the Uke songs album would be more appealing even though there are a lot of sad songs on that album as well.
