St. Patrick's Day!!!


HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY! The Sassy Songbirds celebrated by performing two St. Patrick's Day concerts this week! We had such a blast learning all the Irish songs and were pleased to know we picked songs that everyone knew because our audience sang along to many of the songs including:
"My Wild Irish Rose"
"I'm Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover"
"When Irish Eyes Are Smiling"
"Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral"
"Harrigan"

and of course "Danny Boy"

"Harrigan" reminded the audience of the 1942 movie Yankee Doodle Dandy while "Too-Ra-Loo..." and "Danny Boy" had them wiping tears from their eyes. One audience member told us that "Four Leaf Clover" was a popular song on the radio in his first year of high school in 1927! He and his wife are 96 years old and have been married for over 70 years! We're so blessed to be able to chat with our audience members after the performances!

These weren't the only popular songs in our program though, we also featured songs about Luck, Rainbows, and of course, the color Green! These songs included:
"Luck Be A Lady Tonight"
"With A Little Bit of Luck"
"Somewhere Over The Rainbow"
"Look to the Rainbow"
"You Are My Lucky Star"
"Green, Green, Grass of Home"
and "Emeralds are a Girl's Best Friend"

If you notice in our pictures, we may have been having too much fun! We were playing English Cockney street guys in "With A Little Bit of Luck" from My Fair Lady, and then the next minute 1940s gamblers in "Luck Be A Lady" from Guys and Dolls.

"Emeralds Are A Girl's Best Friend" received rousing applause as did the crowd favorite "Somewhere Over The Rainbow".

We're sad that we have to wait another year to perform these songs again because we had so much fun. On a side note, we think the best thing we ever did was buy our Performance Dresses! We get so much feedback about the dresses, the color, the style... etc! We were really thinking of our audiences when we bought those!

Below you will find videos of "Four Leaf Clover", "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" and "Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral". Happy St. Patrick's Day! We hope these songs get you in the mood to celebrate the Irish!

Westminster Gardens, Duarte

Our Broadway Performance at Westminster Gardens in Duarte was a huge success! We were so pleased to be able to perform on an actual stage in a great big hall! From the moment we stepped out of the car, our dresses attracted a lot of attention, but after the performance it was all about the music. We had an entourage of audience members waiting to talk to us about the songs and music! They had nothing but good things to say and were already telling their event coordinator to bring us back very soon! Our audience members were so sweet and genuine that we just had to share some of the quotes and feedback:

"I wasn't going to attend the performance, but now that I've seen your beautiful dresses, I have to go."

"You two are so beautiful, you don't even need to sing."

"I was so taken with you in the parking lot, that I left my car engine running during the performance!"

"That is music from 'our time'."

"How does it feel to be so young and beautiful?"

"You sang our music. You made us feel young again."

"How do you hold those notes so long at the end of the song?"

"I knew every word to every song!"

"My question is... Is there a CD?"

During the show, we could see the audience mouthing the words to the songs, and we were so delighted to hear laughter and cheers throughout the entire performance. We had so much fun and can't wait to go back!
