Though I’m not a big country fan and I find “Let them be Little” by Billy Dean a little sugary sweet, it’s hard not to get a little teary listening to the lyrics that talk about how short childhood is. … LongMayYou Run by Neil Young – If you like the raspy voice of a young Neil Young, and also edit out a few lyrics, (“back in ’62 when I last saw you alive”) this has a good beat and mood.
…Crawling Babies La Donna e Mobile – You’ll instantly recognize La donna è mobile (“Woman is fickle”) as the misogynistic song from Giuseppe Verdi’s opera Rigoletto (1851), Though you don’t need to consider that last part.
“Jazz for Dads” (Concord Records) I don’t know anything about this, but saw it and had to take a look…. AS “Mr. Jim” says in his Amazon review: Jazz lovers will enjoy this album anytime of the year, but with “Dad” this CD touches the heartstrings.

We’ve said before and we’ll keep saying it because if you haven’t heard this song by Loudon Wainwright (he’s Rufus’ dad, if you’re under 40), you’re missing out.
…When baby #2 came along, we worried about bonding less in the early days, making fewer feeble attempts at breaking through, knowing that our day would come closer to two years old.

we prefer the sister Qwik Time Metronome to this one (because of its it’s woodblock sound), but the price can’t be beat on this metronome for beginners. Ony $14.95 at Amazon.
