Program Notes
A timeless collection of endearing songs familiar to all, this Mike Story arrangement is a lesson in how to arrange for young bands. Featuring If I Only had a Brain; We're Off to See the Wizard; Ding-Dong! the Witch Is Dead and, of course, Over the Rainbow, these highlights are just as enjoyable as when you first heard them.
