Parenting Experiences with Alastair

The couple shares two sons, Alastair and Aiden. After Alastair's birth, Rod named his tour the Alastair Wallace Stewart Tour, adjusting flights around the baby's naps.

During this time, Penny kept Alastair’s Moses basket by their bed. The baby's colic was especially distressing for her.

“In the end the only thing that would calm him was the sound of Rod’s Great American Songbook collection gently playing.”

Penny reflected that the music likely reminded Alastair of the womb’s security, recalling she had heard Rod recording the songs while pregnant.
