Happy 4th of July: Listen to Jeanette & Nelson!
Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald were proud Americans and each worked tirelessly and bravely in their own way to help support the country they loved.
Listen to Nelson singing America and Jeanette singing The Star Spangled Banner. Enjoy your day!
The artwork above was done by Vonnie Krotts…we remember her fondly today during this day of celebration.
