Had to pick 3 songs off their list of 100. List came out 2 weeks before the contest & bands had to turn in their selections 5 days prior.
We made it a production number, starting out with the Peter Gunne theme, then the song, then a jazz piano solo over m7 chords, back to the song.
The big twist is we rotated the lead vocal, line by line, among the 4 of us.
Went over like gangbusters. Won us the contest, and all 4 of us won best on their instruments. Made $2,600 for 3 songs!
So naturally, I have fond memories of this song.
