The Master of Ceremonies, leather coat unbelted and unbuttoned, strolls with a loose but purposeful stride toward the piano and stands next to it, facing the main room of the bar. Autor, with a serious professionalism, follows close behind and perches on the bench, placing his fingertips on the keys. He waits for Emcee to signal for him to start playing. And when Emcee nods, he begins the intro, quietly, softly, but loudly enough for the room to hear.
And
Emcee begins to sing, quietly, softly as well.
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I couldn't give to you...He doesn't merely sing the words. He seems to feel them, projects the emotions behind them.
( the lyrics )Emcee's voice trails away, and Autor plays the last resounding notes that fade with the last words.
Then with a smile, as if breaking out of the character of the song, he bows for whoever has been listening, and turns to Autor with his own applause for him.
