[Spoken]:
"That song was written by my very good friends Alan and Marylin Bergman, and Marvin Hamlish
And... Ah... they're real song writers you know. (laughs) Thank you
Me I dabble
My career is 46 years old not counting summer stock., and in all that time I've written approximately 10 songs, which averages out to be about 2-3 songs per decade
But I was 22 when I wrote my first song and music, which I thought I would sing for you tonight which is short and sweet
It's called "Ma première chanson" which in French means "My First Song"
It's in French because I was working on one of my least popular albums called, "Je m'appelle Barbra" that just went gold after 42 years
Better late than never, right?
But, it wasn't very popular, except in France and Montreal, Vienna, Algeria, I think
Where else do they speak French?
Anyway, the essence of it says with my finger on the piano on the first day of my first love with your heart in my hand I found my first song
So, I'm not a really good piano player, so excuse my
Imperfections (cheers). Thank you
My glasses, my glasses. A senior moment
Oh you're very kind."
