Wednesday Songs: The First in a Series

3/4/2015

A couple of years ago, I went through some old binders from college and was amazed by how much music I learned every semester.  In an effort to keep that musical growth alive, I promised Brandon that I would sing him a new song every Wednesday - something he'd never heard me sing or play before.  It's been a fun practice to keep up, and upon moving to LA last month, I thought: why not videotape and share these?  So here's the first in a series of Wednesday songs - a new song every week, performed in its raw state (a little bit of rehearsal, but no costumes, makeup, or perfection).  Enjoy, and then start your own Wednesday tradition!  Maybe it's a new sketch, song, photograph, or jig in your kitchen - make it your own, and then let us know about it.  This Wednesday song is "Born to Be Blue," a song that my college jazz teacher Tierney Sutton introduced me to.  It has a strange, difficult melody - but I think it's hauntingly beautiful.

Your voice just gets better and better and the song is great! Although, obviously you were not born to be blue!
