The evening commute can be pleasurable. Well, that's IF you listen to NPR. Yesterday, NPR's All Things Considered, featured a few interviews with a DJ, a Classical Music Critic and a very talented mom about how significant it was to pick the very first piece of music their newborn infants would experience. Pretty fascinating. I visited their website afterwards and LOVED the comment that someone posted regarding NPR's jazz bias and how he raised his kids on Black Flag, Joy Division+rockabilly. MmmmHmmm That's right.
The interesting thing is, when studying Human Development, you learn about how keen the sense of hearing is, just a few months after conception. It is our first sensory ability. I have read accounts of fathers walking in to the hospital room full of newborns and speaking to a nurse, his own baby will react and turn towards his voice, because she/he recognizes him. How awesome is that? Experts say babies can even recognize the difference between a melodic or a dissonant song. woah.
Like picking a baby name wasn't hard enough? Pressure's on.
What tune will you pick? Did you pick?
