UPDATE: The links on the Holiday songs wasn’t working before…it is now, you can download the Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy mp3s here.

Thank you for sending the links to the MacDonald/Eddy Holiday music. I NEVER get tired of listening
to them. They were my very first album I bought with earned money from doing ironing back in 1978. I would play their album on my stereo and do housework for my mother.

I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year.

And again, I loved reading your book. I never had a clue they were lovers until then, but I kind of suspected it.

Sincerely,
Karen Ritter
