JUDY COLLINS: “How Can I Keep From Singing”
It’s hard to imagine Judy Collins pursuing anything but a life in music. Music and performing were in the air as she was growing up in Colorado. There were classical piano lessons with her beloved teacher Antonia Brico. And Judy’s father was a performer with a radio show.
But it was actually a broken leg in her teens that led Judy down the path to pursuing music full time. Sorry about the broken leg, Judy, but millions of us are happy that it brought you to a life in music.
