My grandchildren went to sleep listening to Guy Clark's Desperados waiting for a train, frequently acapella. Not exactly a lullaby, but they went right to sleep. I didn't usually put them to bed, just when their parents couldn't get them to sleep.

Play anything and everything. What counts is spending the time together. Play lots of music and have lots of music playing in the house. That does wonders for a child's development and their future enjoyment of music. I would also suggest learning some lullabys and simple children's songs and work them into the mix. When he is old enough to start singing along you will want a good selection. A child that has never sung before is going to have much more success with "Mary Had A Little Lamb" with only 4 notes needed than something more complex. Children's songs are simple for this reason. Also learn to play them in both a key that works for your singing and a key that works well for a woman or child so your wife and son can join in and it's not too low for them. You want music to be a family bonding thing in addition to something you do. That way you have a choice of making music with or for them. |

I was fooling around before a job the other day and playing stuff like Georgia on my Mind, Mood Indigo and Don't Blame Me and was told that no matter what the song it was "soothing", so I guess it's as much HOW you play as WHAT you play. +1 on the Brahms...
