Mother's Day Dedication

With Mother's Day coming up, I'm feeling a little nostalgic. This song brings back memories. It was very popular back in the 70's but the lyrics are timeless. I like the fact that the video contains a turntable with an LP.

If your mother is from that generation of listeners, I'm sure she would enjoy hearing this so share it with her for Mother's Day on May 9th. A gift to her that won't cost you anything and will be priceless to her. Always "thinking outside the basket" for you.
