Today is Mother’s Day in the U.S. and Canada. (Mexico celebrated on May 10th and France will celebrate on May 27th.) This week the blog will focus on songs that remind people of their mothers. Whether they have influenced our music taste or songs that bring us back to specific moments in time that we spent with our moms.
I had a couple people participate who responded to calls on my Facebook and Contributors Wanted pages. I will be participating again this week talking to my mom about epic car dancing songs. The blog won’t have its every weekday format this week. I will be publishing on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you mothers out there in the universe!
