A JUDY MOMENT
Judy sings about a flesh eating monster. I mean, it was the 50's, they did stuff like this then....

Bing And Rosie #403
From their CBS radio series. This episode was originally broadcast on September 13, 1961.

COULDA SHOULDA WOULDA
Judy certainly coulda sung this one. But since since she didn't we'll have to settle for Stephanie Jordan singing it, and that's just fine. Well, yeah.

CRISWELL PREDICTS
A sneak peek at some upcoming programing?

DRIVING MISS CRAWFORD
You think Judy was scared driving in the car with that homicidal maniac in Drive In? Imagine how Shirley Eder felt when she got into a car with an inebtiated Joan Crawford. Lucky for posterity that she thought to turn her tape recorder on...

DUET OF THE WEEK
Liza Minnelli and Lorna Luft just want some cold hard cash.

DUET OF THE WEEK 2
June Christy meets Nat King Cole and the Metronome All Stars. Because I can.

ENCORE
Frank Sinatra stomps all over Barbra Streisand's forest.

GUARD SESSION
Because of space constraints, the third installment in our series of Judy's 1967 recordings for the National Guard could not be posted. The program will be made available here next week. Sorry for any inconvenience.

JUDY AND GYSPY
Per a request, Judy Garland's appearance on the Gypsy Rose Lee show, 1965.

JUDY IN DUPHONIC STEREO

LADY ESTHER BLODGETT THEATER
Presents JUDY GARLAND in DRIVE IN. It's Halloween, so what better time to take a ride to hell locked in a car with a murderous maniac...

LADY ESTHER BLODGETT THEATER 2
presents ORSON WELLES in DRACULA.

MEMBERS ONLY
Group members audio sharing folder

SUNDAY MORNING SPECIAL
It's October, 1958 and Billie Holiday's voice is hoarse and tired, but the great Lady Day still manages to tell some compelling stories.

WHAT JUDY SANG
Carol Kidd sings selections from the Judy Garland Songbook.

By the way, if you are curious about the image at the top of this post, it is a poster from an Andy Hardy film that was only released Transylvania. It starred Mickey Rooney, Hannah Brown, Joan Beck Coulson, and Eleanor Lyon.

On This Day In Herstory (October 31, 1961)
