From the broadcast the weekend of May 8th & 9th, 2010: Our special theme on this program was a "Salute to Moms," coming as the program did about the time of the Mother's Day celebration in the USA and Canada. (It actually comes earlier in the U.K., and elsewhere, of course, it may not be celebrated at all.) We had comments on the program from a lot of very happy moms who also happen to be singers. Charlotte Ritchie and Taranda Greene talked about recording songs with their young children. Kelly Bowling took pride in her young daughter's new solo recording. Shelly Brown and Kim Collingsworth talked about the rigors of being a mom on the road with their respective family singing groups. I thought Jim Brady's song was a very fitting reminder (as the program ended) to let Mom know you love her, while it's possible to do so. Walt Mills' song, "I Love You Today," says it all. Our Featured Artists on this program were the Hoppers — Claude, Connie, Dean, Kim and Mike. Songs were from their current "Unforgettable" CD. It is, as you heard, a selection of their personal favorite songs — some they've wanted to record for a long time. Perhaps you heard some of your favorites, too — or at least songs that brought back memories for you. Connie Hopper's song, "In A Special Way," was not from this CD (in fact, it's from the 1980s), but it was included here as part of our "Salute to Moms" theme. I've been playing that song most years since it came out, and it is, indeed, a special song. The Hoppers' CD featured on this program, "Unforgettable," is available from our mailorder service, Springside. Just call 1-800-38-MUSIC to order.
