Bye Bye Lullaby

04 May 08 - 09:01 AM (#2332561)
Subject: Bye Bye Lullaby BBC Radio 4
From: Emma B

'Ever since the first baby cried, mothers have used song to coax their child to sleep. But is the lullaby a dying art? From Afghanistan to Zanzibar, Bosnia to Peru, women (and some men) celebrate their bedtime songs and lament a disappearing tradition.'

Repeated as a tribute to producer Nigel Acheson, who died last month.

Just finished listening to this delightful programme - available on listen again
