Looking at the songs available this week -- and with a plane to catch early Wednesday morning -- I decided to do a song not sung on Idol but on the list of possible songs.

"Moon River" has a gorgeous melody, chord progression and lyrics. It is truly a beautiful and haunting song.

We looked at a number of ways to approach it and went with a slow croon approach. Perhaps if I had a full band I might have done something more uptempo/modern with it but with only guitar and vocals, I think this works well.
