Episode 77 – Mom Rock

May 11, 2015

Mother's Day has been a bummer day for me since my Ma' passed away in 2007. It's nice to remember and honor her memory, but it's tough on Mother's Day, especially on Social Media, where digital walls are plastered with images of friends and their still around Moms. That's all changed now with the birth of my Son Dylan, as I get to celebrate from a new angle, giving thanks to my wonderful Wife Jeannine who's a phenomenal Mom. This episode is first and foremost dedicated to her, as well as to my Ma's memory. Each track contains either "Mother" - "Momma" - or "Mom". Here's to Mom's, Mom's Rock.
