[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 294825, member: 1991"] Well it's not on my CD, but te stuff on it is even more seriously country. REALLY seriously... and of course now with the benefit of 20:20 hindsight, difficult child 3's enjoyment of this as a baby was the vibrations from the bass, deep in his chest. A Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) thing. My aunt used to tell me of her music prodigy son that as a baby in the 1930's, he used to crawl to the radio speakers while music was playing and pull himself up on them. He would then hug te speakers like a clam, his ear pressed hard to the speakers, and tey couldn't get him off at all while the music was playing. But when the music finished and the announcer came on, he would get down and crawl away. difficult child 3 did the same thing. My mother was unimpressed - cousin was seriously socially deficit, a real handful as a kid and as a teenager, music was his entire existence and nothing else mattered. Of course, back then "Asperger's" wasn't known about or I'm sure he would have been diagnosed. Or maybe not - he was very productive as a composer from his teens. Well known in classical music cirlces for a while in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Music can be useful in so many ways, even the stuff you think you hate. What really has got to me though - when the kids fall in love with a song which I hate, but they play it constantly (or sing it). Again difficult child 3 - although he was non-verbal, he was able to memorise and sing songs from the radio that he liked. Among them - "Barbie Girl" by Aqua. Imagine a cute little boy walking into pre-school singing loudly, "You can touch my hair, undresss me anywhere..." And you couldn't SHUT HIM UP! Marg [/QUOTE]
