On this day in 1968: Judy made a third appearance at the Three nightclub in New York City (on 72nd Street and Second Avenue). The club was run by singer/actress Mary McCarty, who had known Judy since they worked together on the Vitaphone short Bubbles back in December 1929 (!) Afterwards, Judy, John Meyer, and McCarty sang around Stan Freemans player piano: a tape exists of this featuring Judy singing Hello, Bluebird and Ive Confessed To The Breeze. Judy also did a wicked impersonation of Marlene Dietrich. **** Listen to the recording here (the sound quality isnt the greatest as its a home recording made by Meyer on his tape recorder): thejudyroom/songs/Three-Nov-2-1968-Partying-With-Friends.mp3 Upon arriving home at the Meyers apartment (Johns parents) on Park Avenue, they found a clipboard of notes that Marlene had left in the lobby (she lived in the same building). Judy read them out loud to great comic effect. Later that day, Tom Green dropped off an envelope summing up his personal and professional relationship with Judy from 1966-1968, along with plans that various people had come up with, for - a chain of Judy Boutiques to feature a line of Judy sportswear and cosmetics; a Judy Coloring Songbook; a Judy Nightclub; and a movie with a cameo part with the screenplay enclosed, with or without song. There was also a total of Greens expenses in support of Judy $58,815.62 - which had increased $10,000 from his $48,756.74 estimate of April 5, 1968 - along with a copy of a legal summons, instituting suit by Green, against Judy, for the monies owed him. The suit would never be filed. #judygarland #johnmeyer #tomgreen #marymccarty #stanfreeman #marlenedietrich #threenightclub #thejudyroom Photos: Judy in 1968
