As I mentioned in the guestbook for Judy's memory, duplicated and further organized at Ken Frankel's remembrance page for Judy (along with a link to the NY Times guestbook for those who want to add their memories) our friendship, which started in the San Francisco Symphony Chorus, in 1973, was based on song and enriched by her warmth, her intense interest in others, her unique talent and searching intelligence, and her kindness, all elements evident in a favorite song, linked to below (mp3).

Professor Kate Regan of Portland University filmed iFIESTAREMOS!, an excellent documentary! on Judy's harvesting and presentation of sephardic music, learning them from families who passed them down, exploring more in libraries across the world, and then presenting them in sound on several widely-appreciated CDs and in a beautiful book of Sephardic sheet music and lyrics.

  Here is a video interview with Professor Regan (who received a "Carnegie Foundation National Professor of the Year award") about the experience of filming iFiestaremos! with Judy.
  Also see Judy's history from the L.A Times.

  To get an idea of Judy's natural presence and beautiful singing of Sephardic (and any) music, you can HEAR her gorgeous Durme, hermoza donzelle in an mp3 from a lullaby album -- in a downloadable file to save and accompany the images below.

  Her family and friends were keen on making the event as upbeat as Judy had helped us be when she was here with us.  Hear more and see add'l contact information for her music at her former husband Ken Frankel's comprehensive site for Judy.  Friends/fans can hear her early folk-rock also.
