My daughter seems to really enjoy Jeff Beck. We're off to a great start.
Good Afternoon, evening or morning Steemit family
Day two of MiniElf being home. She's such a serious blessing. I am such an emotional disaster. My eyes leak with joy all day, at the drop of a hat.
Life has been ultra hectic the past few months, and that's whats kept me from accomplishing some things I had intended to, and also kept me from as much interaction as i would like here on Steemit. I make greater, and lesser effort in these posts in celebration of #minnowuprising
One of the things on my todo list was to assemble a playlist for Edi to listen to. I wanted the playlist to be purposeful, for each song to have a reason, and/or value.
I have a whole four songs in her folder.
Today we played those four songs several times to her because i had her in the bisonette (sp?) while tidying the house.
The final of the four songs was Jeff Becks somewhere over the rainbow
It got about twenty seconds in, and Edi smiled for the very first time. It may have been gas, but in my mind it was the guitar that did it!
Song 1: When You Dream, the Barenaked Ladies
Song 2: Bye and Bye I'm Going to See the King, Blind Willie Johnson
Song 3: Dark was the Night, Blind Willie Johnson
Song 4: Somewhere Over the Rainbow, played by Jeff Beck
The fact that she enjoys these songs, the chance for me to sing them to her and instill the greatness in them in her makes my heart break into a zillion disgusting little pieces. I have not shed so many tears of joy as in the past 76 hours.
Some of you read about some struggles we had with the health system here
My next post i intend to discuss some of the funniest things that happened while going through this experience. One of the things made me laugh aloud - you know- lol.. All night last night.
Thanks for reading. Feel free to ask questions, share suggestions for other songs for the playlist.
Also, I always enjoy a good convo regarding Blind Willie Johnson, so feel free.
I hope you are well. We just returned from the hospital hopefully for the last time. Gotta go to work in five hours, so i'll sleep now.
Keep it real Steemit commumity.
