This week I’m
kicking off my Summer of Music Series that I started last summer. That being
said, this week’s Classic Nick Rocks is dedicated to the memory of my Mother,
Mary Duck born September 6, 1946, passed away June 8, 2020. These are some of
her favorite songs and except for the first and last songs they are in no
specific order.
Newsboys
– We Believe
This
song was played during Mamma's funeral.
Petra – Creed
She LOVED Petra!
Johnny Rogers – Peggy Sue
This is our friend Johnny, I recorded this
with Mamma standing beside me. Just FYI, this is the song I was named after.
Jocko
Marcelino – Sha Na Na – Sea Cruise
We
would drive down the streets and Mamma would turn this up as loud as our ears
could stand it lol.
Beatriz
Adriana –Las Margaritas
When
I found this song after so many years she cry, she said it reminded her of Aunt
Susie, her sister who had passed five years ago.
Tugger was always her favorite cat from CATS.
Stay
Gold Mamma. We loved watching The Outsiders together.
This guy singing lead was her favorite
guy in the group.
Victoria
Justice & Elizabeth Gillies – Take A Hint
Jade
was her favorite character on the show.
One of her favorite TV shows ever.

show.

got such a kick out of them dressing up Tori so ugly just to have her rip it
all off while she was singing.
Beatriz
Adriana – El Quihubole

Lopez, WOSC 4-2-2017 – Pharaoh’s Dream
This

She loved Chevy Chase, he could always make her laugh and she
LOVED this song.

this to her.
