Comment:

A theme mix and a great theme it was too, this one's a mix for Helen to play in the birthing pool in about a months time.I expected that I'd need several drafts to get it absolutely right cos I wanted 'H' to give the final thumbs up to each and every tune. However, in the end there was only one track binned from 'take 1,' originally 'John Cales'- 'Half Past France' was nestled between the Ron Sexsmith and Ray Lamontagne tracks; 'H' ditched that song cos she didn't find his voice soothing enough, so the Pernice Brothers track found it's way on to the mix instead. No hidden clues are to be found re the gender of the baby cos we didn't want to be informed so no need to look for indicators in song titles or song lyrics.I'm busy working on a birth mix that's more upbeat just in case she don't feel mellow, so look for that one soon. Oh and yeh Helen came up with the title for the mix. Finally I'd just like to say to her, "May the journey's waters be ever calm."
