Found this in the Strib this morning and just had to include it. The text says:
"Accompanied by 32 'hand-picked' members of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, Judy Garland fought through a case of laryngitis on May 11, 1958, to help her home state celebrate its centennial. More than 20,000 gathered at the U's old Memorial Stadium on that steamy Sunday to hear Garland belt out such hits as 'The Trolley Song' and 'For Me and My Gal.' Midway through one song, she stopped and said: 'Can I start again? I missed the lyric. Isn't this terrible? I was trying to be so good.' Garland, born 89 years ago this week, finished the show with - what else? - 'Over the Rainbow.'"
