My transatlantic international performance!
Well I played, and sang, for 67 minutes without a break, and I must admit, although I was a bit daunted to begin with, with so many people there, I gave it my all and it went really well. Fortunately my 50-odd songs were all familiar to the USA folk, and they joined in everything.
I varied the songs, all at least about 60 years old, and a lot were Al Jolson (Red Red Robin, Toot, Toot Tootsie, Nothing could be finer, Rockabye your baby etc), and to begin with I sang a little ditty that I'd made up about half an hour before:
Hallo. my name is Scarlett, and I'm glad you all could come
For those who may not know it, I am Daniel's Mum
I'll play my ukulele, and sing some songs for you
And it would be quite wonderful, if you could sing them too
I hope that you enjoy yourselves and sings these songs out loud
Cos I've been told you really are a great melodic crowd,
Though I may be in London Town, 6 thousand miles away
Thanks, to new technology, I'm also in the USA
and singing ............... California, here I come etc. They gave me a huge round of applause for that!!
