NEW FILES POSTED TO THE YAHOO GROUP for the week of May 5, 2013
Homepage by Allen Morris
Here is the rundown of the new audio files posted to the yahoo version of
The Judy Garland E#xperience.

Eh, even Ryan Lochte would be able to figure out that we are saluting the music of Anita O'Day this week. The rarities are coming fast and furious. And you know what, we haven't even cracked the top layer of O'Day gems that can be found in TJGE vault. Expect more pop up specials throughout the summer.
A JUDY MOMENT
This is a transfer from an acetate that had a very early test version of Mack The Black. Judy gives it her all in this spectacular performance.
A MOMENT IN TIME
Anita O'Day sits in quite comfortably with a bevy of musical giants, 1959.
DINNER AND A SHOW (AKA a cheap date)
DRIVE IN starring Judy Garland, as Mildred, a Hollywood carhop who claims she "isn't used to this sort of thing" when she hops into a strange man's car and is taken to Laurel Canyon! Refreshments provided by Anita O'Day, Peggy Lee, and others on behalf of our corporate sponsors.
DUET OF THE WEEK
Anita and Herb decide to simplify things.
ENCORE
One for the ages.
IN HER OWN WRITE
A trio of songs written and sung by Anita O'Day.
JUDY AND ANITA 1945-1969
First up, it's 1945 and before Anita O'Day sings she is presented with a War Bond by none other than Judy Garland. Jump ahead almost 25 years and you will find the two women jammin' and recording just a little over a week before Judy's passing in June 1969.
JUDY GARLAND IN CONCERT
Here's a new version of Judy's July 9, 1955 Long Beach concert. This copy sounds like it might be a bit scratchier than the one we normally post, but it also sounds like it might have more clarity as well! Also heard are Dean martin, Sammy Davis, and more stars than there are in the heavens.
JUDY SAVES THE DAY
When Bing Crosby had a family emergency on October 30, 1952 he called on his very pregnant pal, Judy Garland, to step ink and fill his radio spot for the evening. Judy agreed to and here is the sparkling result.
LIVE FROM NEW YORK
It's Anita O'Day at Carnegie Hall. Here's a recording that didn't make the cut for Anita's 1985 Carnegie Hall album.
SUNDAY MORNING SPECIAL
Let's just be honest, Martha Raye is three sheets to the wind on this recording. She hadn't expected to perform on this night in 1978 when she went out on the town and partied hearty with celebrity friends, but because she was a trouper, she obliged when Anita O'Day called her up to the stage at Studio One Backlot in Hollywood. Martha forgets some lyrics (and melodies) but what she does remember is how to be funny. Plus, you get to hear Martha and Anita O'Day sing together!
WHERE JUDY PLAYED
Anita O'Day at the 1969 Newport Jazz Festival.

JUDY GARLAND AND FRIENDS
An All Star Salute To Barbra Streisand. With more stars than there are in the heavens....
JUDY GARLAND IN CONCERT
Debut posting of Judy's June 18, 1967 performance at Westbury Music Fair.
JUDY IN SEATTLE 1955
Radio broadcast where Judy plugs her upcoming shows in British Columbia. She gives the interviewer the brush off with a phony story only to get totally called out on her fib. Fun fluff from people who are in good spirits.
SUNDAY MORNING SPECIAL
Barbra Streisand. Oh so early, oh so rare.
THE GLUM GUMM PT 1.
Ultra rare 1956 demo recording of Virginia Thompson, formerly Jimmie of The Gumm Sisters. This original, penned by Mrs. Thompson, evokes dusty and depressing images of torn taffeta and wringing hands. More next week! The song is also available on our blog in a listen only format. http://thejudygarlandexperience.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-gumm-sister-crying-in-night.html
WHERE JUDY PLAYED
Barbra Streisand taking requests during a 1973 performance at the Jennings Lang estate (to raise money for the Elsberg fund). Maybe Judy didn't exactly perform at Jennings Lang's home (I checked with his widow yesterday just to make sure), but when it came to singing at Hollywood parties and in producers homes, Judy had been there and done that and had the tee shirt in six sizes. Also heard on this recording are Marvin Hamlisch and Joni Mitchell.

JUDY GARLAND FOUND!
Well, the files that purportedly contained Judy's "lost" album have been uploaded to the Yahoo experience.
The tracks are actually recordings that were made for Judy to rehearse with for her TV show.
What they are forty years later are some of her classic mid sixties performances herad for the first time without an audience or announcer getting in the way of a single note of music.
Most of the tracks are solo performances, but Judy can also be heard performing with the Brothers Castro (not the Castro bros pictured), Ethel Merman, and Vic Damone.
These recordings are being heard exclusively on The Judy Garland Experience.
