Crazy Sam’s Saturday 9: The Trolley Song (1944)
On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun...
... Because Stacey suggested Judy Garland. Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this movie clip, just about everyone (except Judy) is wearing a hat. Do you wear hats for fashion, for warmth or for both?
I am not much of a hat wearer.
2) This song is from Meet Me in St. Louis, which was a huge hit and the second highest grossing movie of 1944. When is the last time you watched a movie in the theater?
This spring at a film festival that is held at Trinity College in Hartford.
3) The movie follows the Smith family as their hometown, St. Louis, to prepares to host the 1904 World's Fair. What's the biggest thing happening in your hometown?
Mrs. B cat had puppies.
There is not much happening in town; we are a typical bedroom town.
4) This week's featured artist, Judy Garland, is best known as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. That movie is shown so often that Sam thinks she may have seen it a dozen times. Is there a movie or holiday special you've seen over and over?
Yes, Outlander. I am waiting for Amazon to start season two.
5) Judy admitted to being perpetually tardy. Are you usually prompt? Or are you always running late?
We have a joke in our family, that we run on family time which is about 20 minutes behind the rest of the world.
6) Judy's first professional performance was a rendition of "Jingle Bells" when she was just two. How old were you when you entered your chosen profession?
22, 23 somewhere around there was when I graduated from college and then my second career when I was 63.
7) Thinking of "Jingle Bells," here's a wintery question for a hot summer day: What's your favorite carol?
8) Judy was a very demonstrative person. She enjoyed hugs and admitted that, when she nervous, she took emotional support from physically reaching out. Are you demonstrative?
No, I am a private person and don’t like hugs that much.
9) She told Barbara Walters that people would be surprised to learn that she was a good cook and specialized in desserts. Do you have a sweet tooth?
Yes, and that was my Achilles’ heel.

"Holly Jolly Christmas" is a favorite in my family.
ReplyDeleteIf a cat had puppies, that WOULD be big news!
I hear ya on the Achilles' heel thing :)
ReplyDeleteOutlander is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteWe tease my husband about running on Timmy Time, like Tim Allen's character on Home Improvement. He always tells us a project "won't take long" and then it takes FOREVER!
ReplyDeleteOutlander is available on Amazon? Hmm. I shall have to check that out.
ReplyDeleteSo many people love Outlander that we will give it a spin, here.
ReplyDeleteThe old Burl Ives recordings are what I remember from childhood. Thanks for posting the video!
