LOL MamaLion27:
But while we have time, can I ask a question about New Moon? LadyJoots:
Yeah ;-) MamaLion27:
What was with that bobbi pin? LadyJoots:
You've got me MamaLion27:
In the scene where Nelson is hit with the water, there's a bobbi pin
showing in his hair! LadyJoots:
ROFL LadyJoots:
I've never noticed that MamaLion27:
They must just pinned that queue on the back with pins. LadyJoots:
I guess! I'll have to check
that out! LadyJoots:
LOL MamaLion27:
Little things seem to nag me! LadyJoots:
Yeah :-) It's all good! Beth
Kenobi: OH...Ginny, I finaly dyed my hair MamaLion27:

your fingers crossed for me that they let me into special collections :-D LadyJoots:

Kenobi: hi all Beth
Kenobi: Tonight' LadyJoots:
Hello Dick! Hello Eleanor ;-) MamaLion27:
Hi, Dick! Hi, EK! DIXC:
Hope all are fine Beth
Kenobi: s topic is Nelson's female leads in Radio Beth
Kenobi: Irr..did that sound right? LadyJoots:
Yeah, sounds good to me... :-D Beth
Kenobi: k MamaLion27:
Nadine Conner was one of them. She died not long ago. Dugan
EK: This is a topic I know very little about. I will probably just sit and
bask in your knowledge. I have radio lists in my book with lots of names
like Francia White, Nadine Connor, etc. But no direct knowledge of them
beyond which son Dugan
EK: songs he sant. MamaLion27:
He had so many. LadyJoots:
If I'm quiet again, I'm sorry... multi-tasking here with two chatrooms and
an essay... MamaLion27:
He did record with Nadine and several others. Dugan
EK: Ginny, I expect that your essay will contain references to Francis and
Shortnin' Bread while we will hear about the fall of the Roman Empire. DIXC:
Kiner says he did over 600 radio shows. Dugan
EK: "Prolific" is the word!! Beth
Kenobi: I'm don't know what ladies he sang with Beth
Kenobi: thats alot of shows LadyJoots:
Seriously!! :-D
I'm doing my paper on Tennyson... it's all about "The Lady of
Shalott" for me... MamaLion27:
At least. He was on the radio at least once a week for about 30 years or
more. DIXC:
In 1924 was his first radio show. LadyJoots:
Well, not just "The Lady of Shalott," but I love that one LadyJoots:
:-D Beth
Kenobi: Don't worry...I am typing my sister's outline while I do this so
you might accidently get something about Media's effect on self image LadyJoots:
LOL MamaLion27:
Let's see: The Voice of Firestone, The Chase and Sanborn Hour, earlier the
Newton Coal hour, the Electric Hour... DIXC:
He did several with J; including N. M. and R. M. &and I Maried an
Angel. MamaLion27:
Kraft, too. MamaLion27:
Yes, those were Lux Theater..he also did Sweethearts and Maytime. MamaLion27:
Another singer was Pat Friday but I don't know anything at all about her. DIXC:
He sand with Rose Bampton and did Phantom with
SA. Foster on radio. DIXC:
"Spelling?" DIXC:
Sang with Gloria Scott and Frances McCann. MamaLion27:
I have recordings from most of those and was surprised to find that when
he did them, they used original scripts not the movie scripts. MamaLion27:
The record collection I got from Bea Musick had most of those shows. MamaLion27:
Naughty Marietta was so different from the movie! DIXC:
Sang with young Lois Butler 1/28/45
MamaLion27:
Oops, forgot the Telephone Hour! MamaLion27:
yes, I heard of her but again I have no information about her in my files. DIXC:
Sang with Florence George in 1945 on radio. MamaLion27:
We are going to have to dig in the archives of some dusty library and find
out more about these ladies. DIXC:
Anne Jamison sang with him on the Electric Hour in the second season of
that show DIXC:
All 9f his singer are listed in 37
pages of EKD web site. MamaLion27:
What luck for these gals to be able to sing with Nelson Eddy! DIXC:
"of his" DIXC:
"singers" DIXC:
Can" DIXC:
can't spell Dugan
EK: Okay, I just went through all my radio listings. Here's a list of who
he sang duets with (I'll have to do it in several increments.): Beth
Kenobi: I wish I could have sang with him...but then I would have to be
older and be able to sing MamaLion27:
Small potatoes! MamaLion27:
You could have also met him! Dugan
EK: Oh, blast -- my computer won't let me copy the list into this chat.
I'll have to retype the names. MamaLion27:
Oh, goodness. That is a job! Dugan
EK: Grace Moore, Margaret Speaks, Francia White, Nadine Conner, John
Carter, Jeanette MacDonald, Susanna Foster, Gloria Scott, Frances McCann,
Lois Butler, Florence George LadyJoots:
Okay, Grandpa... ;-) My
Grandpa always says "blast"... :-D
I had to do a double take... Dugan
EK: Rece Saxon, Judy Splinters (I wonder if this was a real singer or an
Edgar Bergen character?), Harold Hansen, Inez Gorman, Jane Powell MamaLion27:
He recorded with several of those ladies. Dugan
EK: Mrs. Isabel Eddy (his mum), Corinna Mura, Anne Jamison, Kathryn
Grayson, Risė Stevens, Marion Bell, Dorothy Kirsten DIXC:
One of Bergen's MamaLion27:
I promise faithfully to search out all of them for a future issue. I
haven't been doing my homework! Dugan
EK: These singers all sang duets with Nelson. DIXC:
Many many great singers LadyJoots:
Janie *sniff* I haven't heard
that... Dugan
EK: Going back and reading your chat while I was off making a list, I see
I missed Rose Bampton -- DIXC:
Nelson was BIG in radio. DIXC:
Had many shows. LadyJoots:
Actually, I have Jane Powell on repeat on my playlist... I think it's time
to switch to Nelson and Jeanette... DIXC:
And many guests MamaLion27:
Yes. On his early shows he sang alone for the whole program. Later he had
guest singers, and of course, the shows then became a spot for introducing
Hollywood stars as well as singers. DIXC:
He was doing Radio for 29 years. DIXC:
1924 till 1953. MamaLion27:
Yes, radio was a constant. Whether he was making movies or on concert
tours, he stopped to do radio. MamaLion27:
And he seemed much more at home there. LadyJoots:
And he had a chance to do more comedy.... and he was cute. LadyJoots:
:-D DIXC:
Where was he not "at home?" MamaLion27:
He was not as comfortable with films and didn't like television at all. MamaLion27:
He loved concerts best and radio second. DIXC:
Not true. LadyJoots:
*inserts another random remark - I really love his duet with Rise Stevens
of "Deep In My Heart, Dear* MamaLion27:
That's the way I heard it. I could be wrong! DIXC:
He loved to sing and was comfortable at any oportunity. Doing it free at
times DIXC:
Critics write odd things at times. MamaLion27:
Yes, I agree. I wasn't speaking of his singing. He loved to do that. But
the medium he liked best was concerts and radio. MamaLion27:
Again, I could be wrong. DIXC:
Hewould even sing "in Night clubs", ha, ha. MamaLion27:
He preferred being before live audiences! DIXC:
"comfortable" is the word I would argue with. MamaLion27:
I will change it! What word would you use? LadyJoots:
*giggles* DIXC:
As long as he had the oportunity to sing, he was
"Comfortable" and above the rest. MamaLion27:
I'm convinced! MamaLion27:
By the way, off the subject, I have now been dubbed
"Cyber-Granny" by one of my granddaughters' college pals. LadyJoots:
Awwwww LadyJoots:
:-D LadyJoots:
My Grandpa sang a duet of Stouthearted Men with me on the phone today... LadyJoots:
That was special 8-) MamaLion27:
Yep. I agree. LadyJoots:
Nelson is 10 times better than the two of us though... I'm really not in
voice today... LOL DIXC:
Be sure to get to Eleanors GREAT home page for wonderful info on this and
many topics. But it ha not been "edited" since 9/4/02 ? How
come. No new items since then? Dugan
EK: No, I'm just incapable of adding stuff myself, despite careful lessons
by dear Ginny. I am a total techno-klutz. LadyJoots:
LOL MamaLion27:
Did EK mention Eleanor Steber? I know Nelson recorded with her but I am
not sure she guested on his radio shows. DIXC:
I can't even spell TONIGHT! or do any such work as you LadyJoots:
You know, I'll be your poster if you want... it's so much quicker to post
someone else's work and just be in charge of the graphics. If I remain at home during the summer... we'll have to talk
about that O:-) Dugan
EK: I'm not sure if I listed Steber -- I can't scroll back that far in our
chat. If I didn't, whe wasn't in the lists I was checking, but she could
well have sung duets with him on the radio! MamaLion27:
I don't do the tech work on my website. I leave that to the experts. Dugan
EK: Oh, send me an expert!! MamaLion27:
I write and design and then throw the stuff to Glenny.. Dugan
EK: If Glenny will work for lasagna and chocolate icebox cake, send him
over! MamaLion27:
It's a she! I am still doing layouts on PAPER! Dugan
EK: If SHE will work for fattening food -- LadyJoots:
LOL MamaLion27:
Now back to Nelson's ladies..! Beth
Kenobi has left the room. MamaLion27:
Something I said! Dugan
EK: And a quilter came to my house to spend the day working together and
brought her lunch -- GOAT STEW with very recognizable parts of the poor
goat. I politely told her I had already prepared a tuna sandwich. Beth
Kenobi: Got kicked Dugan
EK: None of Nelson's duet partners were goats! MamaLion27:
Glenny would hate that! LadyJoots:
Oh dear! LadyJoots:
LOL MamaLion27:
Not by a goat, I hope, Jessi! DIXC:
Kenny Baker and Richard Bonelli sang for Nelson when he was sick but they
don't qualify for this discussion.O:-) Beth
Kenobi: nope Beth
Kenobi: ALthough aim could be considered a animal... MamaLion27:
No, we are only discussing the distaff side. LadyJoots:
Kenny Baker is cool... *hides* LadyJoots:
LOL LadyJoots:
I didn't know that though LadyJoots:
;-) MamaLion27:
But time has almost run out. I am going to spend some time looking up
these singers, though. I feel stupid. DIXC:
Dorothy Kirsten was his best RADIO partner (?). MamaLion27:
I guess she spent more time at it. Dugan
EK: Nelson DID do duets with some men -- I found them on my list. MamaLion27:
Wasn't Sinatra one of them? Dugan
EK: I didn't find Sinatra -- but my lists aren't complete -- only 19
pages. DIXC:
That is very interesting MamaLion27:
He also sang with groups like the Sons of the Pioneers. MamaLion27:
And Tennessee Ernie Ford Beth
Kenobi: wow...I just copied part of the chat and we are about 5 pages now DIXC:
They were often on one of Shows to the troops. LadyJoots:
Woah, Jessi MamaLion27:
Why is it I can always remember the men? DIXC:
On that I will have to leave. Bye now MamaLion27:
Bye Dick! Beth
Kenobi: bye DIXC:
Take care. Had a good time. Will try to learn how to type by next week LadyJoots:
Byeeee! Beth
Kenobi: :-) LadyJoots:
LOL DIXC:
:-) LadyJoots:
You're fine, Dick! ;-) DIXC
has left the room. Dugan
EK: So next week is opera? MamaLion27:
I better go, too, and watch the snow fall! Beth
Kenobi: yes MamaLion27:
Bye everyone! LadyJoots:
Tennyson is calling me, I wish I could see snow! LadyJoots:
Byeeeeee ;-) Take care!
And keep your fingers crossed, Eleanor... I haven't heard anything
yet :-( MamaLion27:
I'll send it to you! LadyJoots:
Thanks!! MamaLion27:
:'( LadyJoots:
It'll melt though MamaLion27:
Bye LadyJoots:
Byeeeee! MamaLion27
has left the room. Beth
Kenobi: 6 pages now at Ariel Narrow 12pt LadyJoots:
Oh my! Dugan
EK: Snow? My daughter says it's snowing in D.C. Here balmy and clear.
SIGH. Beth
Kenobi: LUCKY! Beth
Kenobi: It's "flurrying" here LadyJoots:
I think it's 80 here... :'( Too
hot for me Dugan
EK: Well, have a lovely week, ladies. Bye for now. LadyJoots:
