I'm Late

So, I missed this one this time around (Mother's Day 2009) but I want to rate it and alert PD's that this is a good Sunday Morning Mother's Day piece. I can picture hanging around drinking coffee, hanging out with Mom or Wife and enjoying this eclectic piece.

Broadcast History

Originally broadcast in 1973 on WBAI in New York City, revised the following Mother's Day (1974). Also aired on WPKN-FM in Bridgeport, CT.
