9. Family Album: Dream Lullaby

My dad and brother co-wrote this song, dedicated to my sister's two daughters. It's the first such collaboration and the first original composition my dad has recorded in my lifetime. For me, this closing track of FAMILY ALBUM is the heart of the collection. It's the reason I brought my song "How Loved You Are" to the group, and it inspired the approach to the artwork and the record's title.  The Ullman Boys are an Ohio-based band featuring two generations of Ullman brothers, Jack, Jim, Brian, and David (me). The new record, FAMILY ALBUM [https://www.davidullman.net/familyalbum], is our first studio-recorded collection of songs.
