Hi SATCHMO, thank you for sharing those lovely songs and the precious memory of the hours you spent with your daughter. I remember similar hours with my child and treasure them, too. The song "Sudan" made my hair stand on end because of its resonant beauty. You gave your child an eclectic mix of music...a wonderful welcome to the world, an auditory embrace to mirror a parent's physical embrace of a child.

Pippi Longstocking! I didn't realize Astrid Lindgren was not just an author but also a songwriter! Thanks for the information, Liljagare. I used to love the Pippi Longstocking stories when I was a child.
