Comment:

A collection of songs for the nearly four week old Alexander Thompson Geary, who finally arrived after a long, long road travelled. He is extraordinarily beautiful! The mix is to accompany feedings, so it's a bit sedate. I'll make another louder mix a little further into his development...The title is the great quote Leslie Nielsen drops as he's leaving Robert Hayes in the cockpit in "Airplane"

Mazel tov! It sounsd like Alexander is off to a good start, very eclectic. Classical, reggae, pop, even a little guily pleasure in the form of Rickie Lee. I love that Tom Waits song.

I strongly second Nest of Vipers on the Rickie Lee statement. She's wonderful.

Congrats. I'd like to think that if every child heard "God's Children" early in life, the world would be a better place.

I couldn't agree with you more, Marc! I feel I found more spirituality in that song than in all 12 of my years in Catholic school.

Lot of new generation AOTMers this month. Congratulations on the new addition! Your kid will turn okay if he's raised on tunes like this.
