For my <1 year old niece, I made a music CD. Sort of on the fly, but with thought behind it. My previous CD for infants was a bunch of slow classical and lullaby music. But I noticed my sister-in-law singing to the High Hopes: Songs of Joy and Optimism CD traded with
dreamshark and pegkerr and others. Without repeating a song, and with only a little cheating on my favorites, here is a playlist of singable tunes primarily for the grownups since Antonia won't understand the lyrics for many years.Antonia Sing-A-Long
