Random Friday ~ Songs For Duke Jr.


Today is Duke Jr.’s 2nd birthday. I have a few songs that kind of sum up two years with him, plus a mini-mix of sleepy tunes.

Blind Boys of Alabama ~ Born In Bethlehem
Bethlehem, PA and in a hospital, not a stable.

Detroit ~ Crash Landing
While on the go, he has been known to fall down a from time to time.

Soundgarden ~ Spoonman
There was a time when wooden spoons were his favorite toys.

Bob Marley ~ Stir It Up
He liked to stir his plastic veggies in our pots and pans.

Easy Star All-Stars ~ Climb Up The Walls
The little guy climbs up everything.

Joe Henry ~ Some Things Never Leave You
From a Thomas the Train soundtrack. The kid loves trains.

Robyn Hitchcock ~ I Often Dream of Trains
The kid loves trains.

Back in the day, I used to play these songs to get him to fall asleep.

Ray Lamontagne ~ Truly, Madly, Deeply

Ladysmith Black Mambazo ~ Be Still My Child

Imogen Heap ~ Hide and Seek (String Mix)

Michele Featherstone ~ God Bless The Child

Josh Ritter ~ Blame It On The Tetons

Cassandra Wilson ~ Harvest Moon

Sarah Harmer ~ Go To Sleep
