Cheerful music and a lullaby

This is Theme 105

And the lullaby, Theme 111 (Set the volume lower to go to sleep).

Still more original music

Garage Band does pretty good trombones. All we need is words… Anybody?

Traditional, but pretty, I think.

Another Lullaby

Try “Lullaby for Fizzy” as a bedtime song. But it needs good speakers. Fizzy is a little girl, now about fifteen, in Chicago. She won’t mind if we share her lullaby.

To Dry the Eyes that Weep: A Cricket Lullaby

As we approach Autumn, the crickets begin their plaintive calls each night. If you have little kids, teach them to love the cricket songs. I made a lullaby for them, complete with crickets!

Well, many years ago, before computers and the internet, I wrote a short story about a man who carried an enormous length of garden hose up a mountain with the goal of starting a siphon to run water from a lake to his cabin below. His only friend, a water attorney (?!?!), warned him that stealing water could get him in a lot of trouble. But, undeterred by this cautionary advice, he proceeded to climb to the lake and start the siphon. Meanwhile, his friend cooked breakfast in the cabin below. By the time the hose was hooked up, his friend had set fire to the kitchen and lost control of his wits. Just when it looked like the cabin would be burned to ashes, the hose began blasting water, and he was able to save the house. This was the first of several short-short stories in a series that I called Mountain Breakfast, in which each tale involved cooking or eating breakfast in the wild. It was all about humans, all about nature, and all about human nature. I’m still at it, still hiking and thinking and writing tales, although they’re longer now, and not about eating breakfast.
