Speaking of Judy Garland, this weekend at The Judy Garland Experience, and in honor of the Tennis Tournament, they will be featuring the complete performance of one of Judy's concerts at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium from the mid sixties.
There will also be a rare late 40's rehearsal recording, as well as lots of other rarities and goodies.
If you are not familiar with The Judy Garland Experience you should stop by and check it out.
The group has Garland fan's, friend's, family members, and more. There are also spectacular photographs and a never ending supply of the rarest Judy audio treats anywhere.
