A couple of years before my Grandma Raymond died, she was complaining how her joints ached. One afternoon I was browsing in an antique store and found a little metal oil can. I bought it for her, and told her that when her joints ached because she had forgotten to oil them! I still have the oil can displayed in my china hutch!

My teacher asked me to sing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" I was thrilled and scared at the same time. The original song starts out different. I still have the cassette tape it was recorded on! LOL A few years ago a friend from high school made the "album" digital. I'll have to see if I can post it.
As for Wicked the best way to get through the book is AUDIO! I tried reading it and just couldn't do it. I borrowed the CD audio version from the library and listened in the car. No where to go but to listen. It does take a while to get into it. And YES completely different from the musical.
Also I named my fur-baby Elphaba which is the name of the Wicked Witch in Wicked.
