Rock A Bye Blues

Blues songs especially written for parents to listen to at night-time when their child is wide awake, but the parents need to sleep! Some of the songs are love songs written by parents for their child. The song "David and Olivia" could be used as a template by parents to make up their own songs for their children. The diversity of the songs affirm and celebrate cultural similarities.
