A great song, but I prefer this version of Dorothy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJnT6bLr5_k

The Wizard of Oz was Hollywood’s first “chick flick.” It’s the story of two women who fight to the death over a pair of designer shoes.

I read it was a melody taken from the opera Guglielmo Ratcliff by Pietro Mascagni, and you can hear it when you listen to it where Harold Alen got it from. Then supposedly he was stuck in the middle part what to write next and when he was in England he heard the police sirens and that gave him the idea for the two note riff “Someday I’ll wish upon a star - Wake up where the clouds are far behind me”

Well this is weird timing. I just literally passed by the Oz Museum here in Kansas on vacation. Was tempting to stop and buy a stuffed flying monkey.

Judy, Judy, Judy!
She was only 4ft, 11, but from what I have read, she had a big voice from the time she was 12.
Judy was even shorter than her best Pal, Mickey Rooney, who
‘towered’ over her at 5 ft, 2.

The song White Rabbit had a lot to do with the Wizard of Oz movie I didn’t know it until I googled it.

Chasing the rabbit and youth and your decisions neat.

It’s a long story, but I found myself by accident on that golf-cart track on the cliffs around the north end of Maui in an open Jeep. I had no idea about that road and thought I was going to die at every turn. I was gripped by a dread that this wasn’t going to turn out well. Then, a version of “Over the Rainbow” by Eva Cassidy came on the radio, and, although the road got even worse, the song helped.
