For my dear mom who died in 2017. 💕 Her name is Iris.

Wow Carol! You have a cool Mom!

Roxsol, I’m sorry. I hope you have lots of good memories to bring you comfort.

I’m going to search now. I take care of my 92 year old mom. I remember on Sundays they would have company and play music. Hopefully I will find something. They met at a dance.

I can see where this could be a tad annoying. I'm partial to it and so much else. I love music. Happy Mother's Day everybody!

My mother loved this song.

This is all that comes to my mind at the moment:

John Lennon

Of course there is this Nina Hagen "Mama" song

but it is really more about Papa than Mama, despite the title, "Mama."

This is really my favorite "mother" song

"bleiche Mutter," but "toter Vater"😥

Saturday mornings in San Pedro CA...mom singing along with the radio. She's been gone for some 17 years now.

This singer was a co-worker of my mom's at the radio station where she worked in the early 1970s. Today would have been her 99th birthday

And I learned this song from Mom singing it around the house:

She used to claim that Doris Day was a cousin, but I've found no evidence that this was so!

ETA: she told me that Doris and she would sit on the porch and visit when Doris had a broken leg. Doris did have a broken leg when she was about 15, it turns out (and about the same age as my mom); from an auto accident that happened in mom's hometown. Perhaps Doris was visiting some of her family - a cousin perhaps - that lived in the town (about 30 miles from Cincinnati, also had a large German community)

I misread the instructions - I thought it was supposed to be about mothers rather than what our mothers liked. Anyway, here's another "mother" song"

Steve Miller Band

Here's a song my mother used to play for me on our piano

My mother used to sing this song to me as well

and she took me to Dallas in 1958 (or maybe 1957) to see Maria Callas. My father refused to go, and so she took me instead. I was overwhelmed by this, and it affected my dreams for several years.

Lars. I had a sixth grade English teacher who was an opera fanatic. Everything was about opera. Memorable class.

We often heard recordings of Maria Callas in that class. No praise was undeserved.

Here's another piece that my mother used to play for me

Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. She especially liked Liszt. She majored in music in college (NTSU) and that's where she learned to sing opera.

These 2 remind me of my Mom. She's 92 and still hanging in there!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the Moms!

Mom told me she played this song so much, she wore the record out.

These are all just great - keep 'em coming!

My mom's also a big Judy Garland fan

Are grandmothers included? Here's one my mother's mother would play often:

Every Saturday evening at my grandmother's (early 1960's) we would settle in to watch Midwestern Hayride (a live broadcast since the late 1940s). Her favorite performers were Bonnie Lou, Kenny Price (who later was a regular on HeeHaw) and the dancers:

Without our grandmothers, our parents wouldn't be here and neither would we, so of course include them!
