I want to apologize to those Clark’s Picks readers who have had their browsers freeze in the last week or so. It seem that I accidentally added an infinite recursion when I tried to put my blogroll in a scrolling text box. It didn’t phase Firefox on either my Mac or Windows box, so it was hard to find the problem until I tried looking with IE at work.The blogroll is gone for the moment, but I will add it back this evening, in a less fancy way.

Written by Harold Arlen and E. Y. “Yip” Harburg for the film “Wizard of Oz,” “Over the Rainbow” is one of the most covered songs in popular music. I’ve even heard Ian Tyson sing it. It is the number one song on the “Songs of the Century” list compiled by the Recording Industry Association of America

Here is seventeen year old Judy Garland, in the film, singing the song that was nearly cut for slowing down the action. “Over the Rainbow” won an Oscar for best original song in 1939.

Here is a video in which Eric talks about Robert Johnson’s guitar playing a bit and then plays “Stones In My Passway” in Johnson’s style - as best he can.
