Songs in and out of the Womb

Big Brother: Little Brother is watching you

While David was in the womb, we sang to him the Benedictus to the tune of  FOREST GREEN (Click here to get the plug-in, first, then click here to hear the tune of FOREST GREEN. On that page you would press ) If you live in Great Britain, this is the tune of O Little Town of Bethlehem.  It's what Zechariah sang to his son, John the Baptist, when he came out of the womb, although we used a setting by James Quinn (See Luke 1: 68-79). I sang it to David throughout the C-section and it was the first thing he heard as they placed him in my arms. The nurses noticed how quickly he calmed and settled, even through his Apgars. The same experience happened with Baby Kevin at his birth! (Kevin's song was an Argentinian Santo.)
