Moon River is one of the great American Songs of all time.
As you probably already know, Savannah's Johnny Mercer wrote the lyrics to this Henry Mancini melody. Your senior class had fabulous taste in music. |
Of all the songs we could chose from, our 1963 CHS graduating class chose Moon River by Andy Williams.
My vote was for a classmate who I had a semi-crush on but I guess it did not gather enough votes. youtu.be |
I am currently working on a guitar version with my vocals of "Moon River". I have the chording down, even though the song is laced with chords that I have never played before - F7, Bm7, etc., and am now working on the memory of chording and words.
I can read the lyrics and chords and play (which is good for my muscle memory of chords since I can't look down so much at my instrument), but it will take a bit longer to get it just right. It will be a daunting task to learn how to sing this song in my voice, with the memory of Louis Armstrong's perfect rendition etched in my brain. |
