falling asleep to Johnny Cash
June 15, 2006My kids were only 18 months apart, and there was a long stretch when both were in diapers. Naptime became a high priority if I was to make it through the day. If they were still restless after being read to, I would put on some records and let music ease them to sleep.
One choice was a collection of train songs by Johnny Cash. Some of the tracks were slow. So, if they get curiously sleepy nowadays upon hearing ‘I hear the train a-comin’, it’s comin’ round the bend’, there’s a good reason why. Hah.
