AWARD winning country music singer Melinda Schneider is heading to Bendigo next week to pay tribute to Doris Day.<\/p>\n
A Farewell to Doris is on Tuesday 7 May at the Capital and will celebrate Day’s hits including Que Sera, Sera, Sentimental Journey, Everybody Loves a Lover and Secret Love as well as music from her movies.<\/p>\n
“I think people will reminisce on all the songs, people love the songs from all of her different films,” said Schneider.<\/p>\n
“I’m singing a whole cross section of songs from her whole career and I’m telling stories about her life.”<\/p>\n
Throughout her career, Schneider has recorded two albums of Day’s songs and co-written and stared in a show based on the American’s life.<\/p>\n
Schneider’s love of Day started when she saw Calamity Jane when she was eight years old.<\/p>\n
“I just fell in love with her with that character,” said Shneider.<\/p>\n
“I thought she was everything a women could be, she was a tomboy in that film, she could shoot as well as any man and she was also gorgeous.<\/p>\n
“We all wanted to be Doris’ best friend I think.”<\/p>\n
Schneider said she hopes attendees can get lost in enjoying the music.<\/p>\n
“I hope it takes people back to simpler times,” she said.<\/p>\n
“I think people are having a hard time in the world at the moment and anything where they can go and escape and experience some joy, I think is important.”<\/p>\n
