💌 Host's Dedication

“This next song is for my mom (Mother's son by Curtis Mayfield) —Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.” – Noah

And we closed the show with this beautiful quote by Maya Angelou:

“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.”
