A Song-Poem For Your Mother


Ah, Mother's Day. A day for flowers, gifts, an outpouring of thanks, a nice dinner, perhaps at the fanciest place in town, a phone call if you can't be together and, of course, Frank Perry and the "Big Sound" of the Film City Chamberlin. For those who struggle to express a single original thought, and for whom even Hallmark's cards seem a bit too edgy, I offer here, free of charge, a song to give to your mother, containing the blandest of mother's day wishes imaginable:

That sound sure is big, huh? Of the flip side, the seemingly endless "I Thought You Knew", the less said, the better:

Awww, I'll bet it made some sweet silver-haired lady get misty-eyed back in the 60s or early 70s, when it was recorded!!! The mother of Jerry Lama!

My mother would probably like the Mother's day song. But that other song has a severe lack of communication.
