Judy Henske

My lovely friend Robin turned me on recently to Mrs. Judy Henske, and i'm in love! Hailing from Chippewa Falls - home of the supercomputer and Leinenkugels Beer - Judy's a one woman riot with a killer voice that will knock the socks right off yer feet. She became popular in the 60's, especially among the beat crowd - some hack even styled her "the queen of the beatniks"- and the moniker stuck. While working in NewYork, she started a romantic relationship with Woody Allen, which allegedly inspired him to use Judy as a model for the character Annie Hall.

This is my dear Robin: one of the most beautiful people I know! (pic stolen from her Flikr)

She's away on amazing adventures. She's living in Amsterdam for a year. I miss her so!
But this music makes me happy. I hope it will make you happy too.
