NEW FILES POSTED TO THE YAHOO GROUP (for the week of January 15, 2012)
Here is a recap of the audio files that were posted to the Yahoo version of The Judy Garland Experience™ earlier this morning. To access the files you must be a member of the Yahoo group. You can join by clicking on the header of this page or on any of the many homepage images at the bottom of this page.
Here is the rundown of this week's programming:
A JUDY MOMENT
This week's AJM is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King
ALTERNATE JUDY
Judy sings on an alternate take of The Joint Is Really Jumping Down At Carnegie Hall (1943). I don't know about y'all, but I think Judy sounds looser, more playful, and more adventurous here than in the take used in the movie (Thousands Cheer).
BiNG AND ROSIE #412
Another episode of Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney's daily radio show for CBS. Singer Frankie Laine pops up on the network feed to plug 4-way.This episode was originally broadcast on September 27, 1961.
COULDA SHOULDA WOULDA
One can only imagine the emotional intensity Judy Garland would have brought to this song. If given the chance it could have been her late 60's My Way or Is That All There Is. The folder contains a pretty dreadful version by Moms Mabley.
DUET OF THE WEEK
Marilyn Monroe and Frankie Vaughn (unreleased single/take). Oh those show folk!
ENCORE
This time Judy feels like swinging!

Celebrate V.E. Day, May 8, 1945. Featuring Judy Garland, Loretta Young, Fulton Sheen, Dinah Shore, Johnny Mercer, Bing Crosby, and others. Original Armed Forces Radio broadcast.
