Hello Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy fans from Grand Cayman!

A quick hello from an internet cafe on the island!

We’re having a great time…watching Jeanette and Nelson films, singing and preparing our talent show with the singers on our cruise, and just hanging out, swapping stories and eating 10 meals a day whether we need to or not!

I’m enjoying seeing that some of the first-time cruisers who were a bit timid on the first day – are now “part of the group” – laughing and making new friends. It’s just as I hoped it would be!

More updates and posting of photos later…or when we return. The internet connection is V-E-R-Y  slow onboard so may wait till Sunday to give you pix. I have to say, it is a wonderful thing seeing Jeanette and Nelson on the big screen on a cruise ship. But very, very satisfying!!!!!!!

Talk to you soon.

Today in J/N History

1948 “Three Daring Daughters” is released. (Jeanette and Nelson originally were to do this film together; MGM insisted on Jose Iturbi instead.) Jeanette sings “Sweethearts” (from the 1938 film with Nelson). With the intro lyrics she looks at Iturbi, who is accompanying her (and with whom her character is in love). But when she gets to the main part (a duet with Nelson in their film) she turns and sings instead to the orchestra! This curious fact is covered up by shooting her face in closeup so you don’t notice how very odd this is that she does not face Iturbi.
