I've had this dilema several times, being asked to sing at anniversaries, etc. In Scotland neighbors of my friend were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary - garden party, big cake, etc. They asked me to sing a song and I was stumped. I said "I can't think of a song that would be appropriate for honoring 40 years of love". "Oh there's nae love, dear, it's just been endurance", said the old fellow. So I sang "THE HUMOURS OF WHISKEY" and they loved it.
Song title converted to link. --JoeClone, 19-Mar-02.They play some of my songs on a local radio station and I was listening one time when the announcer dedicated a song to somebody's 50th wedding anniversary. He said my name and I was wondering what song it would be - it was "Farewell to Whiskey" - where a wife confronts her husband who's been drinking in the tavern all day leaving her and the kids with nothing to eat! Strange!
