Some people think "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is schmaltzy but I have loved that song since I was a little girl. Anyone who knows me would play that song at my funeral. That was Judy's signature song. I just received a CD of "Judy at the Palace - closing night 2/24/1952". The last song is a tearful "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". I know she is choked up over the closing performance but somehow this performance sounds eerie and sad to me ... as if she were singing it for herself. I will always love Judy Garland's music!

I've found that planning for that final big event is almost enjoyable in an odd way. My last big gathering. But, how could I forget - "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" Oh, and I LOVE your selection of music, Vince. Varied, humorous and touching. Great picks. Just hope it's another 100 years before then... lots of love Anne
