Happy Birthday, Nelson Eddy!

On June 29th, the 122nd anniversary of Nelson Eddy’s birth, some excerpts from an article in Progress Magazine, March 1937. “I want to live a good life gracefully, a life as nearly as possible in harmony with the universe, with life, with the Creator. I want to help others do the same. I want to seek and welcome the truth, no matter through whom it comes or how many times I am compelled to lay aside preconceived opinions. I want to do what good I can as I go along. I want to bring cheer, comfort or inspiration to someone every day. I want to find my own soul and fulfill my own destiny by using the capabilities that I find within myself.”

Today in J/N History

1939 Nelson gives a concert in San Antonio. During the early part of this yearly tour his new wife, Ann, traveled with him. But as they headed East reviewers noted his voice sounded strained and he didn't seem to be in top form. Finally he sent Ann back to Los Angeles and finished the tour alone. (Note: during his tour the previous year, Jeanette traveled with him for part of it.)
