Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me . . .
IF ONLY.
But I'm grateful to Yip Harburg for those lyrics, for that little lift.

After a fascinating conversation with #StephenColbert about the meaning of music, legendary cellist #Yo-YoMa takes the stage for a gorgeous performance that begins with Bach and blends into #HaroldArlen and #YipHarburg 's classic, #OverTheRainbow.
