Once upon a time a new parent was surrounded by a village of family and friends. These little songs would be refreshed in the minds of new mothers and fathers by the old ones as part of the parent nurturing process. Nowadays, parents are often alone with new babies with little guidance and no memory of their own babyhood. ?What?ll I do with the baby-o?? Oh, so many sweet things and all with a song or two as orchestration for life?s dearest tasks: a warm bath, a cozy lapsit, a kiss on the belly, counting each little finger and toe. Yes, this is the way we celebrate the remarkable bond between parent, grandparent, sibling, uncle, auntie, friend and new baby. These are musical acts of trust and love and joy. And they pack a wallop! The big double whammy! Rhythm and tune! Melody and harmony! Rhyme and reason! Mathematics and language! Left brain and right brain! Listening and understanding! Simple and complicated, these little songs are the beginning of a successful life. With these basic building blocks, great logical and creative minds take shape. That?s a lot to get out of a few cute, bouncy little tunes. And now they are yours to pass on to the next generation?
