In situations like this, I think of Inigo Montoya saying to Fezzig, “You did something right,” and Fezzig replying, “Don’t worry, I won’t let it go to my head.”<\/p>\n
Despite all the miscues of this week — the poor communications, the questionable decisions, the visit to urgent care, bailing out of LibertyCon because I’m not in the right “head space” — I did manage to do something nice: I wrote a lullaby.<\/strong><\/p>\n As lullabies go, it’s nothing special — just soft, repeated phrases with a tie-in at the end. It’s called “Dream a Little While,” and the first verse goes like this:<\/p>\n Go to sleep, my little child It cycles through five verses, but anyone could make up more if they want to. Feel free to pass it to any new parents who are tired of the old lullabies. (I can verify that it worked at least once with young Finn.)<\/p>\n I don’t know if anyone else will ever use it, but if they do I hope they’ll let me know.<\/p>\n Here’s the link to the PDF of the score: “Dream a Little While”<\/a>.<\/p>\n And here’s yours truly doing a quick-and-dirty recording on his phone:<\/p>\n
\nGo to sleep, my little child
\nGo to sleep, my little child
