My iPod let me down at the birth. It was aging to begin with I guess. Perhaps not much longer for this place, it fell during a particularly arduous night and couldn't get up. As a consequence all of the music we planned to ease our new daughter into the world with was lost to us. Happily, a close friend hastily arranged for us to borrow their newer more reliable model. It was set to ramble, I mean random, and here, from the thousands of songs available, I kid you not, are the astonishingly odd, unnaturally apt array of tunes selected immediately before, during and after the arrival of Oona Lark Walker...

So despite that cacophony, the good news is, Oona Lark at 7 weeks still likes to rock. An early favorite seemingly, me mumbling Quo's classic Rockin All Over the World. Repeatedly. It works!
