...then decide I don't want the single piece in my repertoire to sound sad. Well, that, and the chords are too hard. I settle on one of my favorite Sinatra songs, Rodgers and Hart's The Lady Is a Tramp. It's lighthearted, recognizable and such a crowd pleaser that I may have to master another tune because that one calls for encores!
