Newsletter #11: Comfort Food - Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Since today is voting day here in the United States, most of us are going to be breathing a sigh of relief that all the political ads are going to be over. We’re gonna be huddled around our TVs hoping for our desired outcomes.

So, today, a little comfort food. This past year, I recorded "Somewhere Over The Rainbow." I hadn't intended to, but I was rehearsing for a show I was putting together for the folks in my dad's assisted living facility, recording myself singing this.

The original was released in 1939 on the brink of World War 3. No one knew what was up ahead. Or maybe it had already started and the world needed some hope. But this simple song has such a lovely message.

Perhaps because I wasn't trying too hard, or because it was a labor of love, I released it after polishing up the accompaniment. I hope it gives you a little breath of fresh air.
