TheRev Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 New baby day! Tiny Rev (or Evelyn, as Mrs Rev insists we call her) was born this afternoon. Mum and baby fine, Dad very tired from lack of sleep and with serious cramp in his left arm from holding baby all evening. Thanks for all the good wishes over the last few weeks! Cheers all, Dave.

Rabbie Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) Rev, I seem to remember from previous post that Danny Thompson is you favourite bass player. Check out his album "Connected". Of course there is some great playing on it, but more to the point, my wife and I played it at bedtime for our baby daughter over her first few weeks and she slept brilliantly with it: we edited out a couple of more uptempo numbers, the rest is really relaxing and much better than all the plinky plonky lullabies CDs. I am so excited for you both! Babies are brilliant!! Edited December 24, 2013 by Rabbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatback Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Wonderful news! Congrats to you both. On the other hand, all those years of worrying that she might turn into a guitarist.... I read about a Baby Bass on here somewhere. Should be suitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm aslo very into my post-rock and I've already got decent playlist of the mellower Sigur Ros, Explosions in the sky and Mogwai tracks. In addition to getting her to sleep it will also be a good education in music, unlike Mrs Rev's Madonna and Micheal Buble albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Kids..? Bass playing..? I have the same cheery encouragement for both... It's the first 40 years that are the hardest, after which things get (slightly...) better. Congratulations and best wishes to you all. What a great Christmas present.

TheRev Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 So far, so good Geoff! Every day is different but we're getting into the swing of things and working around her feeding times - at the moment it's change-feed-sleep on a 2 - 4 hour cycle. I've actually found that the 2 hour ish gaps between feeds is just the right amount of time to get some bass practice in.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
