It was a very exciting day. The community center festival was held today. The harmonica circle I belong to joined the festival.
Before a big audience we played four songs on the harmonica. The four songs were humoresque by Dvorak, medley of Russian folk songs, medley of Japanese enka and a good old Japanese song 'hurusato.'
Our harmonica-playing charmed the audience, I thought. All the audience sang the last song 'hurusato' in a loud voice to our harmonica-playing. Each of them must have been thinking of his good old days in his own hometown.
Playing the harmonica, I was thinking of my last day of my high school days. After the graduation ceremony three of my classmates and I sang this song 'hurusato,' watching Mt. Sumon, a high mountain covered with snow.
We promised to meet again some day in the future. 44 years have passed but the promise has not been carried out yet. I'm very sorry to say that one of them has already been dead.
