After exhausting all possible causes for his crying, my sister and I
found that her 7-month-old son (a very colicky baby) would stop crying
and go to sleep only when we put him in his automatic swing, crank it as
high as it would go, and place the swing in front of my Stroud Duo-Art
playing any of Liszt's music.  Go figure!

You're not crazy, Sam, just resourceful!
