Saturday 9: (Dear Mr. Gable) You Made Me Love You (1938)
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.
A. I thought Shaun Cassidy was hot once, back when he was in The Hardy Boys.
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?
A. My father, I think.
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?
A. No. I just came in and usually the first thing off is bra and jewelry. TMI?
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?
A. Well, not that. I'd love to have some shrimp, but I've developed an allergy to it.
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?
A. I am right handed, but I have to use my left for noting the guitar and other instruments, and for typing. So it does work.
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?
A. I do. Several of them, actually.
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?
A. I have tried. I am not very good at it and it is not something that I find calming.
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?
A. No. I have some in a piggy bank, though.
9) Random question: Catsup puddle next to your fries, or a drizzle of catsup on your fries?
A. Puddle. My husband drizzles, but I puddle.

If I were to try knitting again, it would be a total disaster.
ReplyDeleteI picked up knitting at the right time--after several failed attempts it seemed to click this time.
ReplyDeleteThere's a woman who goes to my church who sits in the farthest pew and spends the whole service knitting. I find her fascinating. She seldom if ever looks at her needles.
ReplyDeleteSo you and your husband have a mixed marriage! :)
Haven't thought of the Hardy Boys in a long time! Good memories. Puddler here too.
