Why I Love My Mom

One day when I was a teenager, I had the radio on in my room and my Mom walked in and said she always liked the song that was playing.  Now my Mom's taste in music was  Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdinck,Neil Diamond and Elvis Presley.

But the song playing on the radio that day was Procol Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale".  When I was even younger I can remember sitting in the car waiting on my Dad and that song coming on the car radio and she telling me she liked it.

I've never talked to her about this.  Doubt she would remember it.  But it's a musical memory of my Mom that I will always cherish.
