For Mezzo-Soprano and Piano
Duration: 2'15"
In 2021, the La Porte High School fall play (Nov. 19-21, 2021) was Leslie Caveny's Love of a Pig. Director Tito Sanchez-Williams approached me and asked me to write some incidental music to the play, since the book calls for diegetic music but we wanted to avoid licensing fees for music under copyright. I happily agreed!
In the second half of the play, the main character (Jenny) has a crush on fellow musician Joe. While at a bar, a lounge singer sings this song. In the production, the piece was performed by Addysen Morros, voice; Joe Clark, piano.
