whimsical wednesday

we're seeking song renditions for whimsical wednesday!  if you have a favorite song or one you just like, look on you tube (or elsewhere) for another artist's interpretation of that song.  you might find more than one that you like a great deal!

as a young child i watched the wizard of oz for the first time.  it was magical and scary.  dorothy gale was someone i could relate to but she seemed larger than life; especially when she sang over the rainbow.  one season on the program, dancing with the stars, jewel made a guest appearance.  she sang over the rainbow.  i've never forgotten how amazingly touching her version was.  then i heard a young man from hawaii sing over the rainbow.  it was so beautiful it made me cry.  never having sought out these artists sing over the rainbow, i did so today.  while at the you tube website i listened to other versions of over the rainbow and added those to my favorite list.

links to my song choices for over the rainbow:
