It is easier to find songs for adults than for kids. The market in children’s music is growing, however. Babies learn about music from the simple songs that their parents sing to them. When the children are older, their parents might teach them songs as part of a game. BB King’s recording of Rainy Day Blues follows this tradition. Most of BB King’s fans, however, may not know about his recordings for children. They only know that he writes very popular blues(布鲁斯乐曲) songs for adults.
