Performance NotesThe great songwriter Irving Berlin was a master at simplicity. There is no better example of his genius than What '/I J Do? Thesong was intoduced in the Music Box Review of 1923 by Grace Moore and John Steel. It was sung by Danny Thomas in the1948 film Big City.

Ed Waesche, one of the Society's most popular and prolific arrangers, borrowed the tag from Renee Craig's arrangement of thissong. There is probably no greater influence on the world of barbershop music and performance than the inimitable ReneeCraig. It is safe to say almost every barbershop chorus and quartet has sling a chart by each of these tine arrangers.

Measures 25c26 as sling by Platinum are a bit challenging for the bass, so their version is placed at the end of the arrangementas an option.

As a final note: Questions about the contest suitability of this or any other arrangement should be addressed to the judgingcommunity and measured against current contest rules. Ask before you sing.
