This song is so pretty and relaxing that I had to play it a couple of times to force myself to be analytical, which is a very good sign.  It could use bass and drums, but I really love the lullaby vocal tone. This isn’t someone trying to sound like a star singer – it sounds like a mom singing to her child, with all her love. That’s real, and as songwriter Jason Blume says, it’s tough to beat what’s real.  Hats off to you for a very nice song.  [Review of “Old Rocking Chair” from the 2013 Sacred Sheet Music Competition]

Good work!   “Rock-a-Bye Baby” is lovely and it is so suited to the nature of the song.  A nice way to end this collection.  I may just have a student or two starting this tomorrow!!  I’m listening to you playing it right now.  Brings sweet memories of my own little ones – including you.  I still play your music a lot and you are still my favorite composer.  Some might say I am prejudiced – but so what?  Love you, Anne.
