A new video from the fantastic band of our dear friend Linda S. Viens. Watta voice! Watta sound!

Give yourself a nice lift, and possibly lose yourself in four minutes of positivity.

Looking out at the world through a lens of oneness, the Americana-leaning “Share It All” comes fresh off the release of last month’s call-to-action folk song...

October 17, 1938: Judy filmed the reprise version of "Over the Rainbow" for "The Wizard of Oz." The scene was cut from the film. It was a part of the sequence in which Dorothy is trapped in the Witch's castle and is crying for her Auntie Em just before Auntie Em appears in the crystal ball.

It was decided to have Judy sing the reprise live on the set with piano accompaniment only (Roger Edens was at the piano) rather than lip-sync to a pre-recording due to its emotional nature.

Months later, Judy had to refilm the scene, again live on the set, due to the changes in the costumes after these early weeks of filming with the blonde Dorothy. The orchestral background music was recorded on May 6, 1939. All that exists of Judy's vocals from both versions is the audio to this first one.

Listen to the underscoring recorded on May 6, 1939, titled "Toto Brings New" here:
