[More on Judy Carmichael]

Judy Carmichael had some interesting words to say about teaching and performing, last nite! I have always toyed with the idea of working up a program to take around to the schools and the Park Districts. Have had zero help and inspiration, making it come to
fruition, tho. Energy and attitude are not there, after the day is done. She seems to have an abundant supply of both! Gave her a sweet kiss on the hand, for all the inspiration she bestowed on me! Really wanted to meet her, and thank her, but she kind of disappeared, after Steinway bitch and Director Dike stole the floor, after the performance. Drat! I was
in a band with a girl who kinda reminded me of Judy.

Drat! I was in a band with a girl who kinda reminded me of Judy. We haven't stayed in touch, but I think she just wanted to marry her beau, and settle down and have kids. Lived up in Crystal Lake.
She was actually our "Respond" Lady. (The company that supplied and stocked all our medical cabinets at USG). We just hit it off, from day one, and I ended up joining her Blues group and worked with them for about 6 mos., before they kept cancelling our performances, cuz they never seemed to be "ready!" We were really pretty good, too, I thought! She performed with Steve Arvey at Dick's Last Resort at North Pier, sometimes. (He was our guitarist, btw - Stunningly cute Jewish Cub)!
