They say home is where the heart is, and with the holidays right around our hearts are filled with thoughts of good food and good laughs to follow suit. Whether it’s spent cheering together at a football game or passing food around the table, quality family time is so precious. As it does in all realms, music has played a big role in making those family memories come to life. One of our all time family family songs, “We Are Family” by Sister Sledge brings back memories of sticking together no matter what. Some other tunes that come to mind when thinking of family are, “Family Affair” by Sly and The Family Stone, “Lullaby” by Billy Joel and the O’Jays “Family Reunion”.
