Inexplicably, they showed a clip of Judy Garland doing this very song in the film. Gave me chills...like I had been visited by one of the ghosts of "A Christmas Carol" - the one of Christmas Past, or Christmas Yet to Come... (A tear-jerker of a film in its own right, but I digress). Anyway, when these things happen, this phenomenon we've been calling "synchronicity" here on the list, it makes me wonder why I don't believe more intensely in God, love, some kind of heaven and the oneness of all things. In my life, the proof of their existence is omnipresent and unmistakeable. And it doesn't hurt that the messenger in this case has "karma" in their name. ;-) In an unrelated and neither here nor there aside, PBS showed a sweet little short film right after the "St. Louis" promo called "Traveling Companion." At one point, one of the main characters was telling a story about how she had a woman friend who had just begun dating women after a lifetime of dating men exclusively. She asked the friend what she missed most about men. Her answer: "The silence." I love PBS. -Julius
