Funny Lullaby


The music that your parents listened to when you were little turns into your lullaby later in life no matter what it was. Everyone's parents listen to different music. It all brings back different memories. I for one grew up with a cowboy and a parrot head. My parents founded me on Jimmy Buffet, and George Strait. Nothing puts me at ease quicker than the song, “Little Miss Magic,” by Jimmy Buffet. It makes me think of summers in Wimberlee, where my family used to go stay on a ranch for a week, and hang out by the pool all week. That song makes me think of laying on my dad's chest and listening to his heartbeat as he sang that song to me.  

My brothers are the same way, our 'sleep' mixes on ipod are comprised of the same mix of classic country, and Jimmy ballads. What I have come to find, is that this is true for most people. There is something about being reminded of being a little kid, that is comforting.
