NeedSong-Mother/SonDance at Wedding

Most of you know Connie.......

Connie's youngest son David is getting married Saturday and Connie is looking for an appropriate song for them to dance together at the reception. Lots of Father/Daughter things come to mind but I thought I'd throw this one out to all of you.

help?

Is the Wild Rover appropriate?

Connie Kaldor has a great song that I think is called "That's What Mother's Do." Not sure if it would be suitable for dancing, but it might work.

Unfortunately, I don't know it well enough to give you more lyrics, and I couldn't find anything useful using Google. But maybe someone else knows it.

These are not "folk nerds"

Keep it simple - and recognisable to the audience

Are you going to play a CD?

Or do expect the "orchestra" to know the piece?

If you provide sheet music - How Much More will it COST?

Does the ensamble - have the ability to read music?

Last Waltz - Works

Anniversery Waltz - Does Not Black Hawk Waltz - for YOUR state works - and will satisfiy the folkie.

Sincerely,

Isn't it nice to not foot the bill on this one?
