The Birmingham, Alabama connection…

Just returned from a short TV interview on “Talk of Alabama” morning show. Will post a link later when the network posts it!

I’m in Birmingham for a book signing event today and a silent auction, raising money for a scholarship in the name of Jeanette’s friend Lily May Caldwell. Lily May was the entertainment editor for the “Birmingham News”, helped start the Miss Alabama contest, and was a good friend of Jeanette’s.  The auction proceeds will be presented today to Kevin Hill, representing the Miss Alabama organization. Will update this post later…

Update: After a wonderful nostalgic afternoon, we raised $540 honoring Lily May Caldwell for the Miss Alabama scholarship. The TV interview is at this link.

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.)
