Happy Mother’s Day, Liz. Your posts are always filled with good cheer, great music, and thoughtfulness. We will be vacationing on Cape Cod on the 17th, but will enjoy watching the live stream. You must be excited about the Knicks and Mets? I hope they continue to thrill you!

Dear Liz, I just read this addition. I waited until I could really concentrate. The Knicks,Mets and Cubs have captured my attention. As you know the Knicks won #3 tonight!

I love your mother's day tributes. As I have told you, mine was very special to me.

I am looking forward to your next 54 Below streaming and seeing you in person in Chicago!

One of the first times I communicated with you, I suggested some songs. After my suggestions, I apologized for being so presumptuous. But when I met you the first time, you remembered that I had some suggestions and were so gracious.

I look forward to seeing your tribute to Sondheim, I've lost count of how many times I've seen it. But I love it!

OK Liz you manage to make me tear up during every one of these! Pics of you and Nicholas as baby get me every time! Loved The Story Goes On -- had never seen it. Also loved the shout out to That Girl -- hilarious. Will miss Livestream as seeing Ali Stroker here in the Triangle at Theater Raleigh. Why aren't you appearing there? Anyway, have a great show. Tell the 54 Below people they should figure out how to make recordings available after shows -- new revenue stream!

You always am excited and moved reading and especially listening to your music. You’re right, Mothers Day can be less than happy for many if us. My mom died 35 years ago and it’s only been a few years since I’ve been able to walk down the card aisle this time of year without getting tears in my eyes (the first year I was practically catatonic). But I know “The Story Goes On” is incredibly true, at least in my family. My sister is a wonderful mother. Her 2 daughters are well-known and respected in their fields. They have also raised two wonderful children each who are wonderful young adults. Both of my nieces were quite influenced by my mom, their grandmother, as their de facto sitter. As far as what I’d like to hear you sing, i melt at everything you do. I hope there will be a CD of your current concert. Have you considered Jerry Herman?

My first Mother’s Day without my Mom was so hard- the cards, the ads… it’s still hard. Your family sounds wonderful. As for Jerry Herman- do you have a favorite song of his?
