40 years ago today….

…Nelson Eddy died in Miami, Florida. This is certainly a sad anniversary for those fans who learned the news that day. I’m sure many tears will be shed today from the older fans and also the younger ones–liike myself– who did not know of Nelson at that time.

We should remember that despite the day, Nelson left a legacy that lives on. And we can enjoy and cherish that, as will generations to come.

Many of our Los Angeles fan club members (and other fans) will be placing flowers today on his grave. If you’d like to email us a photo we will post it up for the other fans to share.

There is some comfort in knowing that fans who literally live all over the globe are thinking of Nelson Eddy today. Despite his being a somewhat humble man, I think it would amaze him and bring a smile to his face to know that he is in our thoughts on this March 6.

Mac/Eddy Glossy Calendar Available for 2007!

0 Comments

Still available! We’ve been publishing our calendars since the early 1980s! But we have an all-new look for 2007! Our glossy 11×8.5″ calendar features a large photo for each month with interesting Mac/Eddy facts and dates. This year we honor the 70th anniversary of Maytime, with a cover photo from that film and an “rose pink” background, very close to the original pink tint that was used when the movie first screened in theaters in 1937. All the Mayday scenes, whether showing the “old lady” Jeanette or the flashback scenes in which she and Nelson sing “Will You Remember” were originally pink! New for this year, our calendar is wire spiral bound, which makes it easier to hang on the wall! Plus we’ve added many new trivia dates pertinent to the lives of Jeanette and Nelson. And it is printed on a new, heavyweight glossier stock that makes the pictures just pop! This is a wonderful gift for yourself or any MacDonald/Eddy fan.
