that mothers who have the opportunity to express themselves artistically lead
happier and richer lives, and serve as a healthy model for their children. That\'s
what we want to promote." A wide array of talented mothers and others are singing
songs that reflect every musical genre, from pop to rock to folk. The event, held at
