I'm tanking up on Dionne Warwick tunes today. I ran to Amazon on Tuesday and ordered both her new duet album, My Friends & Me, and The Definitive Collection.
I began listening to the radio when I was about nine, and always loved the popular tunes. In my first marriage, my husband would allow only classical or Christian music in our home, so whenever I was in the car I would listen to the tunes I loved. I have such vivid memories of Scott and Tyler, at ages 5 and 4 or 6 and 5, singing "I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again" at the top of their lungs—perfectly in tune, I might add. (Tyler tells me he has no memory of this, only of hearing me tell the story. I'd be curious to know if Scott/TJ remembers it.)
So when my BFF Jill called the other day to ask if I'd like to play for a reception for Snell & Wilmer after tonight's UAPresents season opener featuring—Ta Da—Dionne Warwick, in exchange for concert tickets, I jumped up and down and quickly said "Yes!" She said Miss Warwick should be at the reception and there's the chance I'll meet her.
Be still my beating heart. So I'm polishing my memory of the accompaniment for all her songs, just in case she thinks I'm wonderful and wants to sing along with something I'm playing, her tune or not.
I love it when my friends know what excites me. Thanks Jill!

I know I'll never love this way again
So I keep holding on
Until the hurt is gone
....Something like that?
So did you really remember it, or simply Google the lyrics to keep me happy?
No, actually, "until the good is gone." I knew it didn't sound right, so I Googled it!
Proof that I didn't cheat! :-)
