We Show Mom Our Appreciation With A Song

If you’re not sure what to get your mom for Mother’s Day, skip the carnations and card and try something new: how about a song and a memory? It’s become an annual Morning Shift tradition: our Mother’s Day song-a-thon. Listeners call in with a song that reminds them of their mom, and the story that goes along with it. Maybe it’s her favorite tune, or one she played on repeat on long car rides, or one that you can’t help but think of her when you hear it.

We play the song. It’ll make you laugh. It’ll make you cry. It’s better than Cats.
