Hi all. Hope all is well. I have a good idea for a 5th/last hour theme for this Friday, May 8th. It’s a Mother’s Day theme being that Mother’s Day is this upcoming Sunday. So with that in mind, I have a number of songs suggestions for this theme that all consist of songs about moms, mothers, & that have either word in the title and/or lyrics for any of the following songs.
Here is my list:
