Yuki Saori and Yasuda Sachiko - 赤とんぼ

Today I didn't select my favorite songs but my mother's favorite song.

Yesterday I had a party to celebrate my 70-year-old-mother.
She's always fine, and she doesn't look like 70 years.

She loves music very much,too.

She always listened to her favorite songs on TV and Radio.
She likes old Japanese folk songs.She joined chorus group in her childhood.

When I was still a young child,songs that she loves looked too old-fashioned for me. And also she always treated my favorite Rock and Pop music are too noisy and too loud.

I was always disappointed to imagine that when I would grow up, I would gotten to feel Rock as noisy music, and would prefer to love songs she like.I thought Rocks and Pops as music for youth.

However my expectation is proved to be incorrect.

In reality, I don't get to hate Rock music, after becoming an adult, just only my interests spread to many kinds of music, jazz, classical music, world music,and so on.

Rolling Stones still perform live concerts as a Rock band. (I didn't know their songs very much.)

Finally I thought that what songs people like are determined
by what songs people had listened to during their teens.

With The Wisdom of Hindsight, I can imagine her favorite songs are what she listened to in her teens. I still don't listen to these kind of songs, but I'm able to understand how she loves their favorites.
