My Way
Cotton fibers, Ecofelt
Donna Sereda-DeNovo
I completed this embroidery back in the early 1970s, but it never had a title and was never properly finished. Preparing for this show spurred me to remedy that situation. “My Way” seemed like the perfect title. Everyone is familiar with the song popularized by Frank Sinatra in 1969. But did you know that the lyrics were written by Paul Anka? He set those lyrics to music written by Frenchmen Claude François and Jacques Revaux in 1967 (“Comme d’habitude”). Anka never sang the song; he gave it to Sinatra, whom he felt was the right person to record it.
