Music is a great way to celebrate your Mom. Songs trigger an emotional response and if you catch them at the right time de ja vu. Thanks for sharing this as it proves the apple does not fall far from the tree! My Mom is a bit older but she did love Momma Cass–so at least she would be happy with California Dreaming. My daughter can’t get to day care without hearing Lazy Line Painter Jane by Belle & Sebastian–she is only 4! Although she also likes Tool. Once again another great post–thank you.

What a lovely tribute to your mother. Your blog is visually stunning; one of the most beautiful I have visited. I am definitely linking and coming back. Classical music plays a large role in my own life although I appreciate other kinds.

Gosh… ! I’m not feeling very sensible today. Well, in a better way I’d say I WASNT feeling sensible (like tears about to fall) until I got here again (which I do love). Anyway, your words have this huge power over me.
