Sunday May 11th, 2025 with Manmohan Panesar
Happy Mother's Day with music on that theme!

"The version of Mother’s Day celebrated today is more directly rooted in the work of Ann Jarvis and her daughter, Anna Jarvis, who established the holiday to honor her mother. Frustratingly for the younger Jarvis, most people don’t celebrate it today the way she intended. " Anna Jarvis was an abolitionist, a women’s rights advocate, and a peace activist. https://womenshistory.si.edu/blog/history-mothers-day-global-peace-greeting-cards

Neil & Drake, The Dancing Labrador
Been listening in the yard on my old low tech radio blaster. Thank you, Manmohan for a beautiful celebration of motherhood around the world; except for that one "mother-in-law". Drake and I are dancing between all the garden / yard work duties today under this blue sky. Wonderful vibes all afternoon !!!

Hi Neil & Drake, The Dancing Labrador! LOL. LOL. There were TWO songs entitled "Mother In Law" just so you could enjoy that message twice. Thanks for making me laugh!...and for dropping a line with your always kind and generous comments.

Robert p in gat. I love the music of Trilok Gurtu too. He's so underappreciated I think. Everything he does is amazing!
