Music from the Masses
I couldn't help it... I was trying to come up with a title for this post.. and Depeche Mode just overtook any other possible title! Despite my early teen craze for all things alternative rock, Jason and I have been considering what kind of music to introduce the baby too. Of course, research shows that a baby responds most dramatically to classsical music--specifically Vivaldi's Four Seasons; however, we'd like to come up with a "compilation" mix of people's favorites to introduce to the baby.
So, here's the deal. We're taking suggestions for what songs we should include on "Little Rhody's First Mixx." We're interested in everything from Classical to the Clash and Journey to Jazz. Could you please include with your suggestions the song title, artist, and name of the CD/album where we can find the song. Some of these we may know... but both Jason and I are terrible with names, so it would be helpful to have the refresher. Let us know what you think, and we'll do our best to include it on the mixx.
Thank you for your help! We're looking forward to your suggestions.

Oh! And any standard version of Shenandoah.

"Butterfly Kisses"
I'll have to ask Debbie for the artist, etc. but it's a very beautiful, special song for "wee ones" and their parents.

Thanks for all the good suggestions so far (there are some more on the 24 weeks post)... Keep them coming! We're putting together a few songs at a time to try to get this CD done soon :-)

Recent research also indicates that people spend more money while eating out if Vivaldi is playing! Hmmm. Maybe that will be encouraging expensive taste! ;)
