Saturday 9.... Judy Garland!

Judy at Carnegie Hall

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!



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?  There were lots of smiles and laughter at our Nickels game last night, at the clubhouse.  Always fun!

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?  Puppy love... a few, but what I now know as "real" love, just 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?  I was born in Fayette County, Ohio, in the county seat which is Washington Court House.

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 go to Italy again, in a heart beat!

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.  Every day at physical therapy with my knee replacement.

Song #6: "Alone Together." Is anyone there with you as you answer these questions, or are you alone?  Joe is here, as are our three cats!

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?  Probably more like Arthur but with a little George and Ira thrown in.

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?  This is a pretty laid-back town. To get gussied up, we have to wait for the several philanthropical events in town, like the Polk Museum of Art's Gala.

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. Gosh, I'm thinking about this and can't come up with one thing.  

If you're wondering why there are no Garland hits here ... these are her first numbers in the order that she performed them. She saved her better-known songs for the end of the concert. Who am I to second guess Judy?
