85 years ago today “The Wizard of Oz” made its nationwide premiere.

Despite gross fabrications over time, the film was NOT a critical flop. But for less than a handful of negative reviews, critics and audiences alike cheered and applauded MGM’s filmed masterpiece of the beloved L.Frank Baum novel.

This trailer promoting the IMAX reissue,
Some years back, is proof positive that the film still holds up as though it had been made yesterday…and always will.

Happy heavenly Birthday to Judy’s “darling Cowardly Lion”, the incomparable, Bert Lahr.

Bert was the spokesman for “Lays Potato Chips” in the late 1960’s.

This photo gave me the giggles. Obviously a little double entendres on the photographer’s part.

Picture 2 is Bert with our good friend, actress, Marie Wallace. On Broadway in the “The Beauty Part”.

“Hm!” said the Scarecrow thoughtfully,”If it is such hard work as you say. How did the women manage it so easily?”

“I really do not know” replied the man with a deep sigh.”Perhaps the women are made of cast-iron”.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to the incomparable fashion designer, Ray Aghayan.

Ray took over the duties of Judy’s wardrobe on the short lived “The Judy Garland Show”. Replacing Edith Head.

“What Edith was doing for Judy was alot of browns and blacks. They just didn’t look too terrific. Everyone credits me for making her look so great but I remind them, “She had lost a lot of weight and she was in great shape”.

Ray designed so many of the gorgeous iconic costume/gowns that have become synonymous with Judy’s television series/concert years and the later part of her life.

*We have had many of them replicated for our tribute shows.

Godspeed, Mr. Newhart. 94 years and an incredible legacy is a life truly well lived.

Judy and Bob Newhart performed a funny sketch about a couple watching "The Judy Garland Show" on November 30, 1963. The show ("Episode Fourteen") aired on D...

I had really debated about posting this. Considering that I do not see any reason for celebration of this particular day in light of insidious recent decisions and events.

One would hope that this song will still have the meaning that it once had and should have…if it winds up having any meaning at all.

55 years ago today (in the early morning hours of June 22nd 1969) the woman who was known as Judy Garland physically left us.

I say that because Judy has never actually really left. In greater part because of the vast wealth of her work that as been left behind for every generation to see, enjoy and learn from.

From her films to her recordings, television specials, shows and various guest appearances.

But even beyond that, it is Judy’s spirit that is just as powerful, if not much more so than her brilliant work. Her life force is, in a word, indomitable. It is still very much a part of the mortal coil.

We are told that we are in this life to serve. However we do it is how we do it. To have purpose.

Judy’s purpose was to entertain, to delight, to enthrall, to touch. It is safe to say: Mission accomplished.

Of course, we mourn the loss. Even 55 years after her passing. Judy has been physically gone longer than she was here.

A friend once imparted to me this word. “Angelversary”.

To celebrate a loved ones life on the day that they passed on. Rather than to just focus on when they died or how they died. That does not mean to ignore your sadness or not to cry. That’s all part of the whole. But it is just as important to remember how they lived. To laugh and to smile.

Grief is not black and white. It is in fact imbued with every color of the rainbow.

Listen to Judy’s music today. Watch her movies or television shows. Eat a bowl of chili,
Potato salad, a cheeseburger or an ice cream cone (some of her favorite foods). Tell a good joke about flatulence(Nothing made her laugh harder).

Yes, you can cry, too. It’s all part of the process.

Even more than her signature song, there is one song that sums up Judy’s life and her connection to people. Ironically she sang it just 7 months before her passing.

If we are doing it right, it should sum up all of our lives and our connection to those we love.

Thank you, Judy. Happy “Angelversary”.

Happy Father’s Day to my Grandpa Joe. Without this man my brother and I would not have had any kind of a loving, compassionate role model father figure in our lives.

He taught me how to ride a bike, he taught me how to tie a tie and where my aspirations of being a performer were concerned, he was my number one fan and advocate. Especially where my desire to be an entertainer.

Grandpa was a mild mannered, hardworking Italian man. Extremely liberal. It was not below him to do housework, laundry,vacuum, make dinner. Not the norm for a blue collar working class italian man of his generation. He was ahead of his time.

More than anything else he lived for his family. There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do for us. He would move mountains to make us happy.

Not a day that goes by that I don’t think of him or my grandma Mary.

Happy Father’s Day, Gramps! I Love you and miss you all the time.

❤️🌈❤️
