A MUSICAL MOTHER'S DAY

Today is Mother's Day

and I am thinking about my mother,

a Scottish lass

who made the enormous 

decision to marry my father,

a WWII GI and Bostonian,

and leave her life behind.

a story for another time….

I think of her beautiful voice

and the

summer lightening storms in Scituate

when she would sing

“Ten Pins in the Sky."

And, of course,

I am thinking of my three children,

and my mother's short

presence in their lives,

but the continuation of

her songs and stories

through my voice

and the voices of my sisters.

And I am grateful

for the lovely

Snug Harbor Community Chorus

Concert this weekend

and all who attended. 

Favorites of mine included:

“Fire and Rain”

“Lovely Day”

“Love Will Keep Us Together”

“Wicked”,

and “Armed Forces Salute” 

in honor of Memorial Day.

Happy music.

Thank you to our wonderful

leadership of 

Director Steve Bergman and

Pianist Sarah Troxler

Wow.
