Happy Mother's Day

Yes, a very Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers out there. (Hi Mom!) Here are a few Mother-type songs to help celebrate the day.

There's a great rare early mix from a 1970 acetate of JOHN LENNON's "Mother", which includes John's guitar track that wasn't used when officially released.

Then there's DAVID PEEL AND THE LOWER EAST SIDE with "Happy Mother's Day" from their 1968 "Have A Marijuana" LP. Peel would hook up with Lennon in New York in 1971 and Lennon would produce Peel's 1972 Apple LP "The Pope Smokes Dope". Peel also gets a mention in Lennon's song "New York City".

And last, there's THE ROLLING STONES with "Mother's Little Helper", performed live in Honolulu in 1966.
