At our last gig at a local restaurant, we had a whole table of older ladies
wearing red hats. They were members of the Red Hat Society. I asked them if
there was any song that would appeal to them. Later we played "I'm Stepping
Out With A Memory, Tonight" but announced it as "I'm Stepping Out in My Red
Hat, Tonight". That went over well, but as we were picking up at the end of
the gig, one lady came up and said, "How about 'The Lady In Red'?" So far I
found out that it was a Xavier Cugat number in the late 1930's. How ever as
I tinkle it in my mind, it seems that a trad jazz version of this would work
really well. They're planning to come back in March at our montly gig here I
would like to work it out with the band.
Does anyone have the lead sheet, or sheet music that I could a copy of?
