A JUDY MOMENT
Bench Wench Eleanor requested this song as a Could, Woulda, Shoulda entry. We can do better than that. How about been there, done that, and here's the tee shirt? Judy invades Jo Stafford's territory and sings one of the most popular tunes from the 50's.

ENCORE
Royalty salutes royalty.


JUDY GARLAND IN CONCERT
Yet another night of Judy onstage at The Talk Of The Town. This performance was recorded on January 28, 1969 and belies once again Tracie Bennett's assertions and disingenuous performance that suggest that Judy gave less than her best during most of the run. The many recordings made during the engagement prove that on most nights Judy was in good spirits, working hard, entertaining the audience, and singing well (something that Ms. Bennett is apparently unable to do). I'm starting to wonder if maybe Trace Bennett is trying to downplay the quality of Judy's performances at The Talk of The Town as a way to justify her own harsh, wobbly, and pitch challenged vocals. Maybe because she can't sing like Judy Garland Ms. Bennett is trying to rewrite history to make Judy Garland sing like Tracie Bennett.


JUDY PIPES IN
After Judy Garland sang her songs and had her interview with Johnny Carson on the December 17, 1968 episode of the Tonight Show she decided to remain on the panel and stick around for the rest of the show. Here is a rare recording of Judy joining in while Carson interviews Shari Lewis and you can even hear her flirting a bit with Superbowl winning Green Bay Packer Jerry Kramer.
