"My Way" is still one of my best received songs at Senior and Nursing facilities. It's all in the presentation. If you sing it with confidence, and conviction - it's not sad, at all. Quite the contrary. I do 50s R&R, Broadway, modern country ... pretty much anything for the old folks. If your show is sincere, and your presentation is done with humility, you can't go wrong. Everyone has their niche ... our job as an entertainer is essentially a sales job. Make 'em want your product, and leave 'em wanting more of it.
