Global Songs of Ships (#1396)

Music for Mothers’ Day. Perhaps you know that Mothers’ Day in the US dates back to the Civil War period, and a movement by women to exert more control over their lives and over the politics of the nation. We’re still working on that, but there’s no shortage of great songs about motherhood.
