Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Some of you may have heard this unique version. It is truly beautiful--performed by an unlikely artist who has since passed away.
Please enjoy this touching, haunting, ethereal song. It just goes to show that extraordinary music doesn't need to be complicated.

Toddler's have class!

Alright (Mr.) Rogers, you've got the floor

Mr. Rogers speaks to the Senate. Get ready for goosebumps and tears.

"In 1969, Mister Rogers appeared before the United States Senate Subcommittee on Communications. His goal was to support funding for PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, in response to significant proposed cuts. In about five minutes of testimony, Rogers spoke of the need for social and emotional education that public television provided. He passionately argued that alternative television programming like his Neighborhood helped encourage children to become happy and productive citizens, sometimes opposing less positive messages in media and in popular culture. He even recited the lyrics to one."

We love Mr. Rogers!

Music for One Apartment and Six Drummers

Other than the breaking and entering, throwing books and using other peoples' toothbrushes, this is actually pretty cool!
