Music Monday: Lovin’ Cup
Being that it’s a grey, gloomy day spitting rain and the kitchen sink is full of cake-encrusted dishes, I needed something to cheer me up right away. Jane is just the ticket with this jaunty, jazzy little number from her album Maria. This is such a lush CD and doesn’t require the listener’s attention in quite the same way that When I was a Boy does. Not that it isn’t worth careful listening — it’s a great CD for a quiet afternoon when the baby is sleeping — but I listen to it all of the time while I’m doing other things like cleaning house.
By the way, if you have recently acquired a baby, are about to acquire a baby, are feverishly working to acquire a baby or have anyone living with you who was once a baby and you would like a lullaby mix CD, please email me with your snail address because I’m thinking I’d like to make one.
Oh my I’d be forever in your debt. Laying down with my kids every night to the same lullaby rotation has me feeling a little bit nutty. Could I burn something for you in exchange? Some Dan Zanes or Laurie Berkner? those are our favorite kid artists these days.

I’m really enjoying these Jane Siberry cuts! I thought of you this weekend when I was listening to the new-ish Emmylou Harris, Stumble Into Grace. Have you heard it yet? Jane sings backup on about half the disc.
While I don’t need a cd, I’m 5 months pregnant with my first and would love for you to post the song list. I recently found your blog and enjoy it immensely.
Thanks

Ooooo…I am about to acquire a baby and would love one. Whenever you get the time is great!
