Saturday 9: (Dear Mr. Gable) You Made Me Love You

Sam’s Saturday 9: (Dear Mr. Gable) You Made Me Love You (1938)

On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…



Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.

1) This version of "You Made Me Love You" is the teenaged Judy Garland's fan letter to Clark Gable. Tell us about one of your teen crushes.
Whoa… That was a longtime ago! I met her again at our high school class Fiftieth reunion. She’s changed and I’ve changed.

2) Garland sang to this to Gable at a birthday party thrown for him at MGM. Who is the last person you sang "Happy Birthday" to?
One of the counselors at health collective where I volunteer.

3) Thinking of birthdays ... Judy received an engagement ring from the man who would be her first husband, David Rose, for her 18th birthday. Are you wearing a ring, or any jewelry, as you answer these 9 questions?
Earrings.

4) It's said Judy's favorite dish was steak and kidney pie. If you could have anything at all for dinner tonight, what would you choose?
Anyone who knows me knows the answer… lobster! Runner up… lobster Newburg! Honorable mention… lobster roll.

5) Judy was ambidextrous, writing with her left hand but playing tennis with her right. Are you equally comfortable using your right and left hands?
I’m sinister.

6) To relax between takes of her most famous movie, The Wizard of Oz, Judy read comics in the newspaper. Do you still read a printed newspaper?
I read the town weekly but the daily I get electronically.

7) She could also knit. Judy was known to make blankets and caps for the children of crew members on her films. Do you knit?
Nope.

8) In 1938, when this record was popular, the March of Dimes founded. Do you have any dimes in your wallet (or pocket) right now?
Most likely

9) Random question: Catsup puddle next to your fries, or a drizzle of catsup on your fries?
Next to them so they don’t make the fries soggy.

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!
