I wasn't really complaining about having to sing the song. After all, it's my choice, ultimately. They can't force me. I choose to accomodate the audience whenever it is reasonably possible, even singing songs I wouldn't wish to touch with a ten foot bargepole AS LONG AS THEY ARE NOT WHAT I DEEM VULGAR, OFFENSIVE, OR GROSS. For example, I did refuse to sing Seven Nights Drunk to a drunken audience that wanted to chime in with "You bitch, you whore" on the refrain. I have refused to sing the "Alice" song as in "who the F_ _ _ is Alice?"   If people request them I will sing most songs that are innofensive but simply corny, treacly, or overdone.   I suppose the payoff is that it sometimes makes people very happy. I don't regret singing "The Voyage". The couple sent me a special card thanking me for singing it and that made me feel good. What I can figure out is HOW CAN ANYBODY LIKE THAT SONG?????
