194. A Cottage For Sale

Fri Nov 17, 2023, 04:15 PM

Nov 2023

I put this up because for those of us old enough to remember the early days of TV in the '50's and '60's remember The Judy Garland Show. By this point in her life her demons had broken several relationships for her, she had financial issues and all of it was pretty much out in the public eye. Nobody knew better than Judy that her demons were hers and what they had done. But Judy would also let you see that she knew. So comes this beautiful song and performance as another marriage was over. The actor Glenn Ford was in her life but would in a few months bow out apparently not wanting more than dating. It took incredible bravery to come on stage and do this song. Judy holds it together as well as holds our hearts. The line about flowers is

where we planted roses the weeds seem to say
