The video Mother’s Waltz is the result of a collaboration with the great American Author and Photographer, Marilyn Armstrong and swo8 Blues Jazz. I feel like Marilyn and her husband Garry are old friends now. The video is our shared effort with photos from both of our families and a tribute to our mothers. To be a mother is one of the most difficult and important endeavours one can undertake. We are given this vulnerable, needy, bundle of humanity and hopefully, within a limited period of time, we impart the values and skills they need to make them successful in life. They can be the source of some grief but also the source of our greatest joys. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there. 3:29 min. 2MB

Mothers Jazz?

It has more of a classical lean to it. So we can call it Classical Jazz. But it is a waltz and it is a waltz dedicated to mothers.

It’s the same with Fathers day. Valentines day is the same though, I think.

So true, mothers have a very difficult job. I enjoyed the music and images. The images are so old. I liked how you hummed to the music. That is so what mothers do.

Thanks Donna, I tried to come up with some lyrics for it but they didn’t go with the photos, so I hummed.

A fantastic set of old photos, and how well you’ve put them all together. The music suited the mood perfectly, too. I really enjoyed watching – and listening – to that. Thank you. Millie
