Download 4 more Easter Songs here Friday 10 April, 2009
UPDATED! I want to wish you a happy and healthy holiday weekend.

For those of you that observe Easter, here are six mp3s (mostly from radio) for your listening pleasure:

Nelson singing "Keys of Heaven" with child soprano Lois Butler, 1945

Jeanette singing "Christ the Lord Has Risen Today," 1945

Nelson singing: "Open the Gates of the Temple," 1945

Nelson singing: "Russian Easter Hymn", 1946

Jeanette singing "Come Thou Almighty King", 1945

Nelson singing a beautiful Easter medley with  Lois Butler, 1946

By the way, Nelson's introduction to the Easter medley is as timely today as it was 63 years ago!

These songs are excerpted from our CD albums JN108, JN127 and JN170.

To purchase your tickets, you need to click this link to the Merkin Hall box office.

Next - if you are coming from out-of-town, please make your reservation at the same Holiday Inn - where the entire group will be staying. You can call the number above and make a reservation; however, we confirmed with Group Sales at the hotel that the BEST RATE you can get is on the Internet right now - between $152-$177 per room, depending on how many beds you need. All the discount websites are offering the same prices, so we would appreciate it if you would purchase your hotel room reservation at this link:

Make your hotel reservation at http://www.maceddytravel.com

Click on "hotels", type in NYC, the dates you need, how many people/beds. You will get a page of available hotels - make sure you scroll down and choose the Holiday Inn Midtown 57th St! Then you will have your choices of rooms. Again - grab it fast before room choices go away and/or prices go up.

If you are flying in, you can also use our travel site to purchase discount airline tickets. We have set up this new travel site because we have so many club events coming up that involve travel (more cruises, etc.) that we'd rather offer travel through our own site and help the club!

Finally, would you also help promote the Merkin Hall show by emailing this flyer to friends/family that may be interested? The link for the flyer is here.
