Dancing in Three Quarter Time

My dad is an old timer. His first car was a 57' Chevy, and I remember growing-up and listening to the Beach Boys on vinyl. Being the spunky old fart that he is, he loves to retell his glory days playing college football over and over again. Transitioning into the modern age of technology is not my dad’s thing. He has a computer that he barely knows how to use and doesn’t own a cell phone.

Now reaching his mid-sixties, my dad loves to dance! He knows the jitterbug like no on else and dances like an old pro. Needless to say, picking a song for our Father/Daughter Dance has been a challenge. It would seem more apropos to my dad’s personality to have an upbeat song to dance to, but being the only girl in the family our wedding is very sentimental to him. We’ve narrowed it down to two songs, “Fathers and Daughters” by Paul Simon and “One More For My Baby (And One For the Road)” by Frank Sinatra. Which song do you think we should choose?

“Fathers and Daughters” by Paul Simon


“One More For My Baby (And One For the Road)” by Frank Sinatra
