I'm going to be completely honest: while I was thrilled to find "To Keep My Love Alive," deep down I wanted to perform "'Murder,' He Says" from the film "Happy Go Lucky." This song was written by Jimmy McHugh and Frank Loesser, one of whom is one of my favorite song writers of all-time (Frank Loesser).
Being a jazz tune, I feel much more at home singing the crap out of it and not being shy. That's my main issue when it comes to performance: being shy. Jazz helps me leave everything behind me and just feel the music. This is why I gravitate more toward performers like Ella Fitzgerald and Nina Simone. I'm looking forward to bringing the sass next Wednesday.
