I guess I'm a bit of a traditionalist with this particular song, and it's my all time favorite. I fell in love with Judy Garland when I was 5 years old, and fell in love with that song as well. Every time I hear it performed I get a bit emotional inside. When my daughter sang this song for me on stage last year I found it difficult to play the keyboard because of the emotions it stirred within and all the things she had to overcome since that day 12 years ago when she was flown to University of Maryland Hospital Shock Trauma Unit in an evac helicopter with a broken neck. I guess that regardless of her actual age, she will always be my little girl. That's why this rendition meant so much to me. She's just a tiny little girl with so many hopes and aspirations in a world that seems to be crumbling before our eyes.
