Dear Bert,

Thanks for your charming "Bathing Angel." Neat! Have a "Bathtub Shanty" my kids love. Thanks for the reminder.

Dear JonW,

Lost track of this thread for awhile, but had to find it to tell you that "Sleepy Peedie Laddie" is the most touching father-to-son lullabye I have ever heard. It certainly gives the lie to the idea that back in the days when "men were men" manliness required the suppression of deep feeling. But then I was reared on a steady diet o' Bobby Burns, so knew better, m'sel.' In fact, I believe I have heard a variant of this song when little; -- what I wouldn't give to know for sure!

Dear All,

Having rescued this thread from near oblivion, I pray ye keep on't! The world needs more peaceful young'uns! Was going to post a classic Yiddish lullabye in the H/Y/L thread, but think it'll fit here. Back later with lyrics.

"Flights of angels..."
