I recorded this in about 15 minutes. And went back and added a lead guitar to the guitar/lead vocal track and the harmony track. Just wanted some practice performing this song live.

Fans of Beatles, Badfinger, Fogelberg, Moody Blues, Raspberries and other Retro Classic rock.
I am a fan of the Beatles, Fogelberg, Raspberries, Badfinger, Moody Blues, solo Beatles, Eagles. Any music that has solid vocals, good harmonies and a hook! I also am developing a fascination with old jazz standards. I am self taught on everything I play which explains my limitations. LOL! Up until a few years ago I was all accoustic all the time and did very little recording on an old 4 trak. I had written a lot of songs over the years on my accoustic most of those are not here as I started using the computer to record and wanting a more electric sound so out came an electric guitar, then I wanted a beat so the cheap drum machine came next, then I needed a bottom so the cheap bass was bought, then my drums sucked so I needed loops. Then I wanted some strings/sax so my keyboard was bought. Well you know the drill the more you get the more you want and songs that took 3 hours now take 3 days. And so my one man 6th grade band was born. I have put samples of the music I have written here on this website. I use drum loops and all other instruments are live Course you probably can tell that, LOL). Anyway as Harry Chapin's Mr. Tanner would say music is my life not my livelihood. I have met some great artists on SC and continue to hear great artists on SC. Click on the stations link to find Soundclick Radio stations where my music is playing. My music playing on these stations has been a pleasant surprise as these stations are filled with great musicians. I have also had the opportunity to collaborate with some very good musicians here on SC. My brother Jim, Svenni Bjorgvins, Juri Rosenfeld, Johnny Proctor, His Masters Choice, DeAnn Sanders, Dawn Sinclair and most recently Dawn Diamond. I am very grateful to all these artists for helping me to have more fun than should be allowed for free. Writing/recording/producing music I find to be very rewarding. I am learning so much everyday about every facet. The exposure to so many great musicians has really helped me evolve as well. Well if you are still awake thanks for coming by.

Story behind the song
Kim from memory Matinee asked that I do a song about OZ for the annual Indiana Wizard of OZ festival. Bad mistake on her part as the festival had to shut down this year and will not be coming back. I have had the same effect on 3 companies that either shut down/sold out within 3 years of my coming to work. Where I work now was a 100 year old company until I brought my luck on site.
Lyrics
Lyrics Words and Music Tony DeLecce 6/2008 There?s a place where we can go Where more than bluebirds fly Where skys are blue and dreams come true and children never cry Somewhere over the rainbow lies a land called OZ Where witches fly on broomsticks high and dreams never die CHORUS It?s a place of beauty and hope where you can wish upon a star Where all roads lead near and far save the the yellow brick road BRIDGE Take a breath and open your eyes Your not in Kansas anymore The witch of the west knows the address of the house that fell from the sky Lead Guitar to the Chorus chords 2nd verse Theres a wizard in the emerald city The Great and Powerful Oz If you look behind the curtain you?ll find A very ordinary man Somewhere over the rainbow In a land called OZ Where witches fly on broomsticks high And houses fall from the sky Soon you?ll find it?s all in your mind And only birds can fly When fantasy meets Reality Your in the land of OZ Look in your heart and you will know There?s no place like home Click your heels and close your eyes and say there?s no place like home 3 times Chords: Verse D#maj7 (6th fret), G#7(1st fret A7 chord), F Dim (Missing bottom of F), Gm, Cm, F, A#Maj7 (Same chord a D#MAJ but on first fret), A#Dim, Cminor, F, Gm, Cm D#Maj7 CHORUS CHORDS: Dmin7, (minor 7th on 5th fret), G, Cmaj7 (TTY), Am7, F, G7, C, CMaj7, F, G7, C, A7, F, G, C Bridge: Bmaj7, Em, Am7, D7, G

Hey there Tony, this charmer has superb lyrics.....and flows like honey!!!!! This has a distinctive style with the endearing vocals being more like thought and afterthought, much like the lead & rhythm guitars confirm each other and enhance.....Magical!!!!!!!!! This song should find it's way to a movie or theatrical work somewhere .....this is really fine work, no matter the amount of time!!!!!!! Highest regards, Wade

This version is clear and bright. Guitars are well played (especially the rhythm guitar). Sung sweetly and with tenderness. Nice echo effects on the vox. Of course, these lyrics are just like ice cream melting in your mouth. Much to enjoy in every way. My only ding is that you are singing unison or ocatves with the second vocal - when you DO sing harmony, it sounds wonderful.
