Lily I

Convergence was fun, but I didn't feel a part of it. Ah well. The Young Whippersnappers are doing a good job. Right now, Closing Ceremonies is going on, and I'm at home playing with my music. Whee! All weekend I was talking about my various music projects, notably the lullaby collection for my 14 week old niece. Since I know you're interested (or at least polite enough to let me ramble at the con), here is my final selection. I tried to alternate instrumentals with songs, and introduce Lily to music from around the world (hmm... only five continents...).

I dont recognize them all, but the ones I do recognize are all lovely songs for a soothing lullabye collection.

Of course, you never know for sure what will be soothing to an infant. Baby thorintatge was so entranced by Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds that we made a tape with the song repeated a dozen times. He didn't want to listen to the whole album, just that song. I dimly remember baby-sitting for some baby that would only stop crying when I set his/her infant seat in the middle of the dining room table and blasted a particular rock song with a very steady beat and distinctive lead singer at top volume from the speakers on either side of the room. I don't remember what the song was, but I'd guess something by the Rolling Stones.

I minorly struggled with this, as babies tend to be idiosyncratic. Maybe the kid likes bass and drums. We'll find out.
