Saturday 9: Judy, Judy Judy!

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?   
Mostly it was my little gang of Monster killers in our on line game.

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?
T'was Once Upon a Time.. T'was in Days of Yore... (the 1960's) We danced and talked the whole evening.  Then a Troll knocked on the host's door and broke the spell.  But, the Princess was able to escape the Troll not more than two months later, and she and her Knight in Shining Armor lived happily ever after.  The End.  I'm sure the Fairy Godmother was well pleased. 
 
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?
Well, Los Angeles if you don't count in the nasty Nazi named Hitler who called my paternal unit far, far away, never to be seen again... I wish!  😒  Mother's parents asked her to come home to have the bebé at their house.  Not liking her father's snobby sisters all that much, Mother complied.  We all came back to California two years later, when a German bomb blew Psycho dad's unit up and he came home for re-hab. 
 
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 like to go back to Colorado.  Take a raft trip down the rapids of the Arkansas River.  I'd also like to sew up clothes for me, and especially some marvelous Moroccan style caftans like I made for my sister and myself back in the day. 

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.
When I was waiting for the emergency doctors to re-set my shoulder.  I told myself I'd been through LOTS worse than this in life and could just keep putting one foot in front of the other and walk right on out of this thing.
 
Song #6: "Alone Together." Is anyone there with you as you answer these questions, or are you alone?
My hubby and our little sidekick Wolfie, just back from the late night walkies.

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?
I'm a methodical, analytical Artist.  I could have been a draftsman like my brother but wanted to take a four year degree in field Geology to work in the field.  This was back in the 60's when a Bachelor's Degree actually meant something.
 
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?
Every once in awhile, I think about going to an Opera.  We do have a fine Opera season in San Diego, or at least we did have.  Who knows what's been going on lately. lol
 
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.
I have been reading a lot of EYE opening Shlock about the under the radar stuff that has gotten us where we are today as a country.  Not Nice!  Both sides of the Aisle are complicit.
 
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 concert. Who am I to second guess Judy?

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!

❤️❤️❤️Gal, that was so sweet a shout out to our hard working Bev, who was ill treated by a Space Cadet, Playing  "Queen of the Night".

And Just a little late for Halloween, wouldn't you say?
