I am also a retired nurse (another one of my careers) and retired after 10 yrs. as an EMT/Firefighter. I know first hand the benefit of a relaxing sleeptime and how much music can contribute.

Your loved one will appreciate having his/her very own song and will also want to hear it at times other than bedtime. a unique gift indeed for a little friend or your own child.

This is a new venture for me and I'm not sure about the payment process. You can send me a letter at PO Box 44, Albion CA 95410 or an email (address on front page) and we will discuss it.

My price is $30 for the finished product and 1/2 when it is commissioned. Folks say I should charge more. I will eventually.

By the way, for an additional $30 I'll add a bass, another guitar and a harmony voice.

(Normally they run about 1 3/4 minutes. I can repeat your song on the CD.)

I can send you an mp3 download via email for $25 as I won't have to ship a CD, but with a CD I can put a nice label on it with a picture of the child if I have it..

Thanks to my blind friend, Dianne Baumgartner, in New York for giving me this idea.
