Same thought occured to me as I wrote it. Garland was in a class by herself but with certain songs...! What was she? Jazz singer? Yep. Show tunes singer? Undoubtedly. I don't think there was much that could have bee classified as folk but as stated above, she had the ability to touch people where they live and in the heart. My main question was where was she when she died? I wanted to perhaps correct a faulty recollection, that's all.
As for my waking up as I did, I must tell you I am not, nor have I ever been a "morning" person. This was highly unusual to say the least. It MAY have been co-incidence or it may have been some sort of esp thing. I have had many such instances that go far beyond the realm of probabilty. But as to "why" and what meaning it could possibly have, I have no idea. Just tangentially in the music category.
