Favorite Songs From 1959

I'm playing my Yamaha Tyros 5 keyboard and using the vocal harmony feature with my voice. No MIDI nor pre-recorded music was used. Everything is live, using styles in the Tyros 5.
I'm 80 years old and now, and arthritis has paralyzed my two middle fingers, and it's getting tricky to play my keyboard. Only time will tell how much longer I'll be able to play a keyboard. Getting old ain't for sissies !!

My first heartthrob was Ricky Nelson as a little girl in elementary school and remember his songs Travelin’ Man and Poor Little Fool as my favorites from him. Later on I loved his song Garden Party. I still love the song Venus by Frankie Avalon and later on was a Paul Anka fan off and on. Then came the Beatles, Motown artists, etc. My dad was a singer and had his own band as a teen. Everyone loved his singing voice. My mother also loved to sing. So I am an avid music fan from 3 yrs old til now at 71 years old. Love watching American Idol, The Voice and see the talent that’s out there waiting to fulfill their dreams. I’m a sickly person and use music as an escape to lift my spirits and enjoy whatever time I have left in this world.❤

As a Brit I couldn’t wait to go to the States, I was Sixteen in 1959, the American Rock and Roll scene was amazing and I wanted to live the dream, I was very fortunate to be able to go for an extended visit to California, it was a wonderful experience, flower power and all that, it was a dream come true, thank you for bringing my memories of that wonderful ere back to life in my advanced years .

There was a time when country music used to be called country and western. The western part was because songs of That era were ballads that reflected American art and history country music. Country music wasn't always about somebody doing somebody wrong song. Things became rock and roll with amplifiers and acoustic guitars.. listen to 1958 renditions of the Collins kids to catch what I'm talking about. In the past singers song songs about history, particularly their own history it was called an oral tradition.

There is one question I am really curios to ask you older folks. Do you feel that the best music was created when you were young and it's all downhill from there? Can you say in which decade you were born and from what year do you feel the music started regressing?

I am from 80s and I think the music peaked during 80s-90s and it is getting worse and worse each year. Do you also feel the same about 60s music if that was your generation, that all the best songs were created in 60s? Or you also think that music was progressing to 80s-90s and then started regressing? Or perhaps you listen to modern music and don't feel it's regressing?

I am trying to understand if this sensation that the music is progressing to a certain point and then regressing is just an age related phenomena, or the music really started regressing from a certain year.

In 1959, the transistor had actually been around for about 11 years. It was invented in 1948.
