Thread Name: Songs for 60th Wedding Anni????
Subject: RE: Songs for 60th Wedding Anni????
I got put on the spot in Scotland when I attended a couple's 50th Wedding anniversary. They knew I was a singer and asked for a song. I said "I just can't think of a love song suitable for commemorating such a romantic occasion". The old man said "There's nae love in it, dearie! It's all about endurance!". That got me off the hook. I asked if they'd ever had recourse to a bit of the wee drop to help them along through the difficult times. The answer was a resounding "Aye". I sang "The Humours of Whiskey" and it went over perfectly. They made a video of it that they play over and over for their friends.
