NEW YORK - I MADE A MIX FOR A BABY

Man, you know what's hard? Making a mix CD for a five-month-old baby.

And then I had to make sure there were no jarring bridges or ominous minor keys. And then I wanted to think of songs that would be fun to sing to a baby while bouncing it up and down on your lap. Other elements include childhood nostalgia for the parents, quiet pretty moments, and goofy stuff like "Ob La Di Ob La Da" sung by barking dogs. I’m pretty pleased with myself and thought I’d share with you this, the perfect baby mix. Now while I pat myself on the back, go ahead and tell me how much I’m gonna traumatize this poor kid.
