Wishful Thinking: Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Most people don't know that I love Jazz music, especially singers like Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, and Ella Fitzgerald. I got this love from my mother, Sarah Vaughan is her favorite and by default she is mine too. Okay, not default, Vaughn was a singing virtuoso. I need this song and Vaughan's voice, today,  more than I could ever express in words.  



When she sings, "Someday I'll wish upon a star, and wake up where the clouds are far, behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops; that's where you'll find me." Don't you want to believe her? I do.
