It’s Mother’s Day, and Katie Marie and Joe (mostly) honor mothers’ special day by playing an hour of Celtic music all about mothers. Most of the tunes and songs are saluting and venerating mother’s and their steadfast love of their children, but we’ve tossed in a couple of songs about mothers behaving rather badly.
The artists this week: Justin Thériault, Kyle Burghout, & Susan Toman; Rowan Leslie; Poitín; Joshua Dukes; Eliot Grasso; Martha Guiney; The Magic Square; Martin Carthy; Lothlorien; Randal Bays; Karan Casey; Mick Mcauley, Winifred Horan & Colm O Caoimh; and Caitlín & Ciarán.
