A few weeks ago, I posted a ragged old video of Judy Garland's appearance on the popular game show - "What's my Line?" - which I wrestled up from the elusive near-forgotten musty confines of old showbiz archives.

'Ya know, every time I screen the spontaneous on-camera guest spot, a smile breaks across my face.
Ah, Judy Judy Judy!
A priceless gem who still shines brightly in our hearts and memories!
I was pleasantly surprised when an unexpected invite arrived out-of-the-blue this afternoon to join - thejudygarlandexperience - the "world’s most exciting Judy Garland group" (Yahoo!).
Apparently, the best way to discover and share information and advice with others on the legendary Wizard of Oz star, is to mix and mingle at the dedication site - where privileged members wax nostalgic about the multi-talented mega-star - with fans, friends, family members, and a precious few blessed with the opportunity to toil alongside her at the studios in the Golden hey-day of Hollywood.
All for free.
The Judy Garland Experience not only features ongoing real-time discussions about the contract-player, but also has the web's most extensive library of rare Garland photo’s - many of which - have never been eyed before.
The entertaining site also features an ever-changing plethora of rare and unreleased recordings by Judy and other artist’s.
This week, fans are being treated to two separate broadcasts of Ms. Garland appearing on the once-popular "Chesterfield Show", a recording of Judy bravely telling off HUAC, a 1954 radio salute, a 1957 appearance at L.A. Greek Theater, and much more! to titter about.
Next week Judy’s complete 1967 Christmas concert form Madison Square Garden will be posted (as well as some other rare unreleased gems from Judy) along with Ethel Merman’s entire closing night performance in Gypsy.
There's no business, like show business, after all.
Stop by the site - affectionately known as "Judyville" - and check out the exciting offerings.
Her dedicated fans tease: you may never want to leave!
Or, to quote Judy from one of her last great sell-out performances that night at Carnegie Hall:
"I know, we'll sing 'em all, and we'll stay all night."
You betcha, Judy!
