My mom requested that I learn this song, by Dinah Washington. After listening to it, I realized there was no way I could do her version--i don't have her crazy vibrato. Luckily, I found this bossa nova version on youtube by a user named guitaress1 and learned the chords last night by watching her. It fits me better, but sorry if it's not what you wanted mom! I played it acoustic so I wouldn't wake up Lucas, but it didn't work- he woke up lol.

i like the way you sing. i'm glad you did it this way. some singers really ruin songs when they try too hard to show off their vibrado and all that. the way you sing the songs seems more how the songwriter would want them to be sung. keep it up, sweetie!

thanks for commenting susan. i sometimes feel like I 'dumb down' songs too much, but I don't want to ever sound like I am taking on too much, that my voice can't handle. i will keep learning more songs!
