This was Jeanette's second Bowl recital. She was accompanied by Nelson's accompanist, Ted Paxson, and Nelson was actually backstage during the performance though he did not attend any of the post-recital festivities. Halfway through, you will hear Jeanette and the audience laugh; this was due to the wind that blew the sheet music off the music stands, and swept Jeanette's gown up around her face. This recital shows Jeanette at her vocal best and she breaks her own record for the length of time she holds the high note in "Italian Street Song!"
