Week 13

These are the songs I picked between 19 September and 25 September 2014. I’ll talk about them next time.

No One Is Alone – Kim Crosby, Danielle Ferland, Ben Wright, Chip Zien

What Kind of Fool Am I – Jason Danieley … It was only recently that I played close attention to the lyrics and noticed the Catch-22 nature of the song.

Loving You – Kym Hoy

I Won’t Send Roses – Rita Moreno

Medley (Almost Like Being In Love-This Can’t Be Love) * – Judy Garland … For younger readers, before iPods and CD burnings, people used to have “tape recording” parties, someone would bring a record and whoever was interested could make a copy of it on a cassette.

There’s No Business Like Show Business – Judy Garland, Ethel Merman, Barbra Streisand

Here’s To Us (outtake) – Judy Garland … It is such an extraordinary moment of self-determination and resilience, that you just want to snap your fingers twice and say: You go girl!

* Top 10 Contender
