Dad Hates Dancing-Now What?

From June Hoffman of Megasound

Many brides want to share a dance at her wedding with her father. What happens when dad hates dancing? Compromise is the answer. Louis Armstrong offers a short (two and a half minute) musical option that fits the bill.

“What a Wonderful World” is a timeless classic that creates touching moments during the Father/Bride dance. This is a win-win option that makes for few dry eyes in the audience.
