Welcome to Musical Circle Bonus Episode 10 as a part of the Musical Circle, and Happy Mother's Day, produced by Ben Charles. If all of you are wondering, where has the Musical Circle been over the past couple of weeks? It has been on vacation, and we have enjoyed it so far. However, we will return to our normal schedule on Thursday, the 15th. I would like to dedicate this entire episode to my mother and to all of the mothers out there, because without them, we would all be different people without their guidance. My mother specifically has always challenged me to be the best person I can be, and the fact that she even put up with me for the last 24 years is, in itself, a miracle. I feel like she has raised me right for the most part. I do not know where I would be without her. I want this episode to be about the music because I want the music to be the story and pay homage to all of our mothers. However, every song in this episode is below. Our next bonus episode will be on June 27th, as it will be the first-ever Road Trip episode, Volume 1. Bonus Episode 11 is on August 15th, 2026. Enjoy this episode, everyone.
