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....

hmmm, I am now leaning towards the ENTIRE evening being YOUR MOTHER SHOULD KNOW:Songs From The Year Your Mother Was Born
I would get to do a spiffy Gershwin number I think...I'm gonna do the math and get back to you

Posted: 12/1/04 at 12:07pmwell, I always think of GYPSY as 1960 for some reason, but THAT settles it...I close the show with "ROSE'S TURN"!!

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.

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
