Music for dads (and everyone) from Rodney Atkins

"Watching You," a song by Rodney Atkins about a father's influence on his young son, has been No. 1 on the country charts for a couple of weeks running now. You can view the video at his website, www.rodneyatkins.com - just click "Launch the media player" tab. If you haven't seen it already, I would check it out. Kind of like Harry Chapin's "Cat's in the Cradle," it's a good reminder of how much influence we parents have on our childrens' lives, but this song is a lot more upbeat and has a good sense of humor. (Where "Cat's in the Cradle" was a total downer, even as a kid it bummed me out.) Trust me, you don't have to be a country music fan to enjoy this one.
