1. All Aboard The Sleepytime Special  by Brad Powell
2. Brahms' Lullaby (Cradle Song)  by Johannes Brahms
3. Rock-a-Bye Baby     The melody is a variant of the English satirical ballad Lilliburlero. The words first appeared in print as "Hush-a-by baby" in Mother Goose's Melody (London, c. 1765). Then as "Rock-a-bye" in Benjamin Tabart's "Songs for the Nursery" (1805). In this track, Brad is playing both parts of a guitar duet.
4. Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star (Rustic Dance)     This unique arrangement by Brad Powell is what is known as a Quodlibet \kwäd-la-bet\ "a whimsical combination of familiar melodies or texts." It combines the familiar "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" with the popular 1899 parlor piano piece "Rustic Dance" by C. R. Howell. Brad thought of the combination, because his mother, Dorothy Powell, learned Rustic Dance as a girl, and can still play it now at 90 years old! No, that's not Dorothy playing it here--but she did paint the album cover art!
