Saturday 9- Judy at Carnegie Hall (1961)

Judy at Carnegie Hall (1961)

We're spotlighting this legendary concert because  Bev from Sunday Stealing loves Judy Garland. This week's Saturday 9 is a "thank you," one meme-mistress to another, in gratitude for Bev's willingness to pick up Bud's meme and keep it going.



Song #1: "When You're Smiling." What made you smile this week?  We got some snow and I LOVE snow.  We also had a snow day, which made me very happy.

Song #2: "Almost Like Being in Love." We've all had many crushes, but love is rare. How many times have you fallen in love? I think only once.

Song #3: "This Can't Be Love." This Rodgers and Hart song was introduced in the play, The Boys from Syracuse. Syracuse is the county seat of Onondaga County, NY. What county do you hail from?  Stone County, Missouri

Song #4: "Do It Again." What's something you'd do again, if only you had the time or money? (A book you'd like to reread, a recipe or pattern you'd like to make again, a vacation destination you'd like to revisit, etc.)  I would love to go back to Orange Beach, Al, but this time with my husband instead of his sisters.

Song #5: "You Go to My Head." Judy forgets the lyrics, but gamely keeps going. Tell us about a recent moment when you chose to keep going, no matter what.  When we had to put Mandy down I felt like crawling in bed and hiding, but I took the weekend to cry and went right back to work.  It was good for me to be with the kids and wouldn't you know it one of the students lost her cat the same weekend.  We were able to talk about it together.

Song #6: "Alone Together." Is anyone there with you as you answer these questions, or are you alone?  Karl and Josh are both here as well as Meisha and Molly (our dogs).  I had a former student drop by earlier too (Haylie)!


Song #7: "Who Cares?" This song was written by brothers George and Ira Gershwin. They had a lesser known brother, stockbroker Arthur. Are you more creative and artistic, like George and Ira? Or more analytical and methodical, like Arthur?  I would say I am creative and artistic

Song #8: "Puttin' on the Ritz." Judy sings that The Ritz is the place in New York "where fashion sits." If we wanted to see everyone "all gussied up" in your town, where would we go?  Well, I am going to say to the theatre (Juanita K. Hammons theater for the performing arts.  We just got tickets for Les Miserables and we are taking my mom.  It will be her first musical which is crazy to me, but my dad did not like getting out to do stuff like that.  He worked all of the time.  We used to have season tickets to the theatre.  I do not get dressed up for much, but I do for that.

Song #9: "How Long Has This Been Going On?" Judy sings about discovering how glorious romance can be. Have you made any new discoveries lately? It doesn't have to be as groundbreaking as Judy's. A new podcast or a faster route to work counts, too.  I can't think of anything right now.
