Big thanks to my sister Katie Lynch for being my cohost this week while Heather is in California. Also big thanks to Mama Rose for coming in, chatting, singing some of her own songs and one commissioned piece as a special favor to me. Also delighted to meet her amazing daughter Maya Rose.
Mama Rose is releasing a song every Monday for the next 11 weeks. We got a sneak preview of next Monday’s song on air (see below) we also listened to Head Up the first song in the series. I love the crickets in the background even more after hearing the backstory. She also sang When We Grow Up off the Free to Be Me and You album, a treat for my sister. (You can also hear the song and backstory below.)
