Breakthrough Evidence of the Beatle's Genius?


I have written other threads about my journey to discover and more fully appreciate the Beatles.

In a peculiar breakthrough for me, my first born, 7 month old son instantly stopped crying yesterday when I parked his stroller close to one of the monitors in my bedroom system and played Rocky Raccoon and others.

With every noise and voice in the mix, every different instrument, playfully sung wry lyrics, he seemed to turn his head and stare at the speaker, completely fascinated.

This was after a long day where nothing seemed to amuse him. Needless to say, I was very pleased and hope this bodes well for his future as an audiophile.

Has anyone else had success with the Beatles -- or any other particular artists or composers -- with fussy children? How do I keep this going?!?

Best wishes.

My son loves singing along to them also, he is now eight, I think it is just simple melody that he can sing along to that keeps him going.

Happy Listening
Our latest addition (1.5 year old Annette-Lucile who is a little orange kitten) has had her own CD since we found her 15 months ago. Not a clue as to why she likes it so much (Dusty Trails), but she runs about the living room making chirping noises while it's playing.

I picked it out for her when she was 3 months old, telling her it was hers, as it was the only chick music (other than George Michaels "Faith") we had on hand.

She also likes a few songs off Rebecca Pidgeon's "The Raven".

The only Beatles recording we own is "Revolver", plus the solo work "All Things Must Pass" and a few Lennon LP's.
Just DON'T play "Helter Skelter". It's reported to have had a rather negative affect on some guy named "Manson".

Be very carful. An audiophile infant will expect his own system in the crib. He may eventually demand the baby bottle nipple be cryogenic processed. And tweeks for all his musical toys.
