Standards

New short-term goal: learn to sing ten standards. I want to be able to break into song more often; I keep forgetting how much I love to sing–the physical interaction with the world, the emotional outlet, and all the great feelings that come from the forced breath of song.
But which tunes to learn?
I’m looking in the realm of jazz classics, show tunes, “easy listening” and blues. I’ll skip the pop hits, country western, and opera. I already have a repertoire of folk songs, so I’ll give them a pass for now.
I’m enjoying the novelty songs from the 20s, but I don’t know if I can do justice to Dangerous Nan McGrew. Maybe I’d better stick to Ain’t Misbehavin’.
Tod suggested Please Don’t Talk About Me When I’m Gone.
What would you choose?
