Melodies of My Life

Social Science/History | Available (Membership Required)

Songs that I sang at different stages and at various places in my life: as a child, during high school, when I was in a
choir, at home with my family, at cultural events, when I was in love, and singing at a wedding or a funeral.
I have sung different genres of music; popular music, Soul Music – including my favorite Motown ballads, and later in life I was acclimated to singing opera and jazz. The songs in this presentation will be live, some will be audio and others video from yesteryear and recent times. For all of us, we have those songs in our hearts and our heads that are often easily retrieved and they return to us quickly, and sometimes they take us to times in our lives and memories of melancholy or happiness when we hear them again. I will share with you some of the melodies of my life that are dear to me and some may be a treasure to you!  Here are some of the songs that will be part of this presentation: “If I Had A Hammer”, “Fly Me To The Moon”, “Going To The Chapel”, “What a Wonderful World”, “Se Voul Ballare”, “The Lord’s Prayer,” “Dedicated To You”, “My Way”, two completely different versions of “I Love How You Love Me” and one of my favorites –“The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.
