It's the same one I went to a year ago. Only this time, I was invited to perform.
The dilemma, the title of this post, is in choosing a song.
I needed to pick something age appropriate ( average age is going to be older than my parents), something known but maybe not mainstream, topic of love, peace and kind of hoo ha.
I picked 3 standards with the help of my friend Professor Higgins. Pun intended - it was his favorite role.
- Can this be love - performed most notably by Rosemary Clooney
- At long Last love - performed most notably by Sinatra, Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin - pick the one you like and that's the tune. Also used in the movie Return to me
- Almost like being in love - Again performed by the same list above but written for Brigadoon the musical written by the same clowns who wrote Wicked.
I waffle between them as the tunes come to me.
Today is D day. I have to have a decision by noon. So I am taking them to my coach. Then to the accompanist and my trusted collegues and finally to my mom.
Wish me luck
