My Mother
"Once children grow up, they don't listen to their mothers."
CHINESE PROVERB
My brother, DAVE, my MOTHER, and ME with a nasty-looking beard.
She had a sense of humor.
This photo (left) was taken when my mother was in her 20s. She was a singer with a "big band" in Indianapolis and once sang with TOMMY AND JIMMY DORSEY'S ORCHESTRA at the INDIANA BALLROOM.
"Good mothers know that their relationship with each of their children is like a movable feast, constantly changing and evolving."
SUE WOODMAN
"All women become like their mothers.
That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his."
OSCAR WILDE
"You can cage the singer but not the song."
HARRY BELAFONTE
"As the mother of a son, I do not accept that alienation from me is necessary for his discovery of himself. As a woman, I will not cooperate in demeaning womanly things so that he can be proud to be a man."
LETTY COTTIN POGREBIN
