"Over the Rainbow" exploded into worldwide fame upon its performance by Judy Garland in the MGM film musical The Wizard of Oz (1939). Voted the greatest song of the twentieth century in a 2000 survey, it is a masterful, delicate balance of sophistication and child-like simplicity in which composer Harold Arlen and lyricist E. Y. "Yip" Harburg poignantly captured the hope and anxiety harbored by Dorothy's character. In Arlen and Harburg's Over the Rainbow, author Walter Frisch traces the history of this song from its inception during the development of The Wizard of Oz's screenplay, to its various reinterpretations over the course of the twentieth century. Through analysis of the song's music and lyrics, this Oxford Keynotes volume provides a close reading of the piece while examining the evolution of its meaning as it traversed widely varying cultural contexts. From its adoption as a jazz standard by generations of pianists, to its contribution to Judy Garland's role as a gay icon, to its reemergence as a chart-topping recording by Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, "Over the Rainbow" continues to engage audiences and performers alike in surprising ways. Featuring a companion website with audio and video supplements, this book leaves no path unexplored as it succeeds in capturing the extent of this song's impact on the world.
Butch was an interesting cat when he was alive. Now that he's dead he's even more so. In his feline-humanoid form-he plays the guitar and often talks to his former mistress, the writer he calls Sweet Lady. He also takes her and Ginger, the channel, on the most amazing adventures in dimensions beyond normal sight-but no less real for all of that. Once incarnated on earth to study humans, Butch is now back on "the other side" at his own "pad" as he calls it (Butch is definitely something of a Beatnik). Over there, he is recognized as a Bhagawan or spiritual Master. Sweet Lady has chronicled her dream time travels with Butch-with edits from Ginger who perches atop her monitor when she writes. She introduces us to fascinating people, shares the deeper meaning of life she discovers, and whisks us along through the wonderful realms of her imagination. But why does it seem so real? Could it be that it is the true reality she describes? "We-e-l-l-l," Bhagawan Butch would say, "that's what you gotta decide." -Laren Bright Laren Bright is an Emmy nominated and award winning writer who has spent years in helping business, authors and self-published authors provide sparkling promotional text.

The deaths of my parents on consecutive days and with the interference of the enemy caused extreme grief in my life. It did, however, open the door of the spirit world for me in real, very profound, and personal manner. In On the Other Side of the Rainbow, I recount how my grief was transcended by remembering past readings and teachings to strengthen me, and I came to develop abilities to perceive and experience my loved ones who were sharing time with me in the present. The seeking to heal my soul also led me to connect with Jesus in a very real and personal way. His friendship and mentorship has helped me to heal and develop spiritually. He has also provided me with the protection I needed, and he lifted me up when I needed it and continues to daily. Eventually, we grew quite close, as did my relationship with Mother Mary and Michael, the archangel. Without their divine help, I am sure I could not have lasted in the face of the enemy. Encounters with them as well as my loved ones on the other side of life have become normal occurrences. I have also had encounters with other spiritual beings whom I consider allies, such as Buddha, Ganesh, King David, a fairy princess, a British guard from Fort George during the 1812 War, St. Theresa, St. John Paul II, and others. It is especially interesting to see how my parents continued evolving once they reached the other side and how my spiritual growth and relationship with the Lord changed their course as well as my own. Prior to my experiences with the Christian faith, I had followed and had many other firsthand experiences that are based on truths that simply are. Included in this are experiences with past lives and spiritualism, as well as Buddhist teachings and Native American as well. My personal experiences are based on truths and were a guided path that led to my development as a spiritual clairvoyant and light worker. The book starts in more of the self-help variety but soon evolves into a more complex novel that is experiential as well as unique as it embraces many teachings but is not confined by anything that is not based on truth. It eventually broadens onto a serious journey with Christ, but it does not leave out any past experiences and knowledge gained as a result of these truths. It is not typical or confined by any religious teaching, but it does not attempt to say they are not significance or important, quite the opposite. It is, I believe, a guided path from above that is meant to bring together many to break down walls, not build them, as what Jesus desires, as are other teachers and great beings who work together to try to win this world away from the dark side and lead it into a world that desires light and welcomes it when it soon arrives. I hope that my first book helps to achieve some of these.
