insanely young means (just for the purpose of this "imaginary" concert) if you SING A SONG FROM THE YEAR YOU WERE BORN and it misses the point of learning about the (pre- CATS era) classics by being a song from STARLIGHT EXPRESS!!

so that's why we've created the YOUR MOTHER SHOULD KNOW Act 2

I was born in the final months of 1959...what should be my number?!?! hmmmm....

Definitely something from THE FIGHTING COCK, Marc. Damn, I hope that was a musical and not a play...

Well did I luck out! My mother was born in 1939, the year Gilbert and Sullivan's PATIENCE opened on Broadway - I can sing "I Cannot Tell What This Love May Be" - complete with high C added by our musical director just for me - which I have already performed on a New York stage.

*sits back smugly while everyone else frantically rehearses new numbers*

Aren't you even remotely curious about the songs RightSaidRick would pick for the year he was born--and his mom's birth year...

ok, I will do the Judy Garland version of "I CAN'T GIVE YOU ANYTHING BUT LOVE"

a note from the Old Professor:

you young 'uns need to go out RIGHT NOW and buy the Judy Garland Special with Frank Sinatra & Dean Martin and see what entertaining so profound it makes your body shake is all about...ballad or up tempo, these three are show business heaven
