George Winston

Like most children, ours like to go to sleep listening to music. They have the usual children's music, of course, but they have always enjoyed listening to George Winston as well. Since music has the ability to capture a place and time so perfectly, so that hearing a tune can immediately transport us back to where we were at a given point, George Winston's "Linus & Lucy: The Music of Vince Guaraldi," is going to always remind me of toddlerhood/young childhood and the restorative power of naps.

Specifically, at the 10 second mark of "Cast Your Fate to the Wind," I am back downstairs, hearing the music via monitor. On certain magical days, the girls drift to sleep during this first song on the album.
