#100Concert Day 30: Last day! Seems appropriate that we get some snow in the valley finally as I had planned to use these songs already. Also, it is Catholic New Year's Day. All of this fits Mommie so well!

#100Concert Day 24: This song was written the same year Grandpa was born (1892). He had a dear sister named Daisy. Mommie's best friend was her sister Daisy, named after Great Aunt Daisy. It was Aunt Daisy who told me how I got my first name.

#100Concert Day 6: 100 years ago today & 41 years before my actual one, my heart was born. It is a great oddmatch that there is a Supermoon going because my Super Mommie had a connection with the moon as a child & adult.

Thank you, Mommie!

#100Concert Day 5: Mommie told me she learned how to tap dance in part because of her admiration of Shirley Temple Black. While I did not ever get to see her tap dance, I can imagine it!

Also, Happy 16th birthday, Ms. Kitty 2 Shoes!

#100Concert Day 2: Mommie's love of Ms. Garland spilled over to me so much that I saw Liza Minelli at The Ohio State University during my postdoc years. Some friends thought I was odd doing it. Mommie was happy I got to go!

One of the automatic bawling songs for me.

#100Concert Day 1: This month marks 100 years since Mommie was born. I will do songs from artists she liked & those she inspired me to enjoy.

When I hear these artists, I think of her. Then again, I think of her quite often anyway.
