Award-winning music producer, critic and translator Lawrence Schulman, who lives on Mount Desert Island, Maine, will give a talk on Judy Garland, entitled "Moments of Magic," at the Porter Memorial Library in Machias, Maine on Wednesday, April 11, 2018 at 7 P.M. Admission is free. The one-and-a-quarter hour talk will examine Judy Garland's life and career, and feature nine audio-video clips, to be followed by a question and answer. Schulman will endeavor to answer the question: "If I had about one hour to convince you of Judy Garland's place in classic American popular music, what film and television performances would I choose?"
