Welcome to Monday’s Music Moves Me on Sundays! This week’s theme is whatever music moves you!
Last year, I was reminded of the Los Lonely Boys song “Heaven”. I really like the song and the groups style. They have that classic 70s rock vibe and I was a bit surprised to find out this band formed in the late 90s. “Heaven” peaked #16 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in 2004. I felt they deserved more of my attention. On their YT channel, I found a playlist of their best, so I’m sharing it with you, The Very Best of Los Lonely Boys!
Now, it’s your turn!

Mother’s Maintenance Manual
Many of us take better care of our cars than we do our mothers and yet, we only expect our cars to last 5 or 6 years, but we expect our mothers to last a life time. Maybe we need a maintenance manual for mothers so we would know how to take care of them at least as well as we do our automobiles.
Here are some items that might be included n such a manual:
ENGINE: A mother’s engine is one of the most dependable kinds you can find. She can reach top speed from a prone position at a single cry from a sleeping child. But regular breaks are needed to keep up that peak performance.
Mothers need a hot bath and a nap every 100 miles, a baby-sitter and a night out every 1,000 miles, and a live-in baby-sitter with a one week vacation every 10,000 miles.
BATTERY: Mother’s batteries should be recharged regularly. Handmade items, notes, unexpected hugs and kisses, and frequent “I love YOUs” will do very well for a recharge.
CARBURETOR: When a mother’s carburetor floods, it should be treated immediately with Kleenex and a soft shoulder.
BRAKES: See that she uses her brakes to slow down often and come to a full stop occasionally. (A squeaking sound indicates a need for a rest.)
FUEL: Most mothers can run indefinitely on coffee, left-overs and salads, but an occasional dinner for two at a nice restaurant will really add to her efficiency.
CHASSIS: Mothers run best when their bodies are properly maintained. Regular exercise should be encouraged and provided for as necessary. A change in hairdo or makeup in spring or fall are also helpful. If you notice the chassis begins to sag, immediately start a program of walking, jogging, swimming, or bike riding. These are most effective when done with fathers.
TUNE-UPS: Mothers need regular tune-ups. Compliments are both the cheapest and most effective way to keep mothers purring contentedly.
If these instructions are followed consistently, this fantastic creation and gift from God, that we call MOTHER should last a lifetime and give good service and constant love to those who need her most.

I like them very much. Sorry I am so late, this has been a totally stressful week at work. Happy Mother’s Day to you. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.

Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day


Nice recommendation
Hi Cathy, I hope you had the best Mother’s Day. I forgot about the Los Lonely Boys. Have a truly lovely day.
I wish you a blessed and beautiful Happy Mother’s Day!
Haven’t heard them in ages. Happy Mother’s Day! XO
Heaven by Los Lonely Boys is on my playlist. That’s a terrific Mama Manual. Happy Mother’s Day from all of us!
I remember the band name but can’t think of any of the songs (and don’t know the one you shared…will have to check out the best of to see what I recognise). Also delete my first link please – I just relinked you! Pre coffee here so poor function! HA! Hope you had a nice Mother’s Day.
I could only listen to the first 2 and then it said video not available. I know the first song and I do like them. I like the way to handle mothers, with care. I hope cars can last longer because that’s too soon to replace a car. Ours is from 2013 and going well but, it’s a Honda Civic which gets great reviews and they are good cars. I hope you are having a wonderful Mothers’ Day. I’m remembering my mom and wish she was here.
Happy Mother’s Day to you, Cathy. I enjoyed listening to Los Lonely Boys. I’ve heard of them but I don’t think I’ve ever knowingly heard their music. Alana ramblinwitham
