[BurtonAir161]

I just love their song,

"Merry Christmas Darling" My mom and I established many years ago that this is our song to mother and son.

This is great! It is so nice to hear Karen talking in her normal non singing voice. She sound like such a very up beat cheerful person. I wish I had known her like you BestKacFan.

Karen sings "Silent Night" with an incredible sweetness....

Of "The First Snowfall/Let It Snow," Karen says here, "We used that on the last Christmas special." Interesting. These songs did NOT appear in the special that ABC broadcast, but: Does this mean there's a video version in the vault, that was cut during editing? If so, maybe it'll surface someday.

@OceanKingNY I wondered about that too! I know the "Pocahontas" skit was cut from their 1976 special and hasn't been seen ever. I really, really hope it wasn't one of those things destroyed in the ABC storage fire.

In My Heart She Is Still Making Music. My gosh, I keep asking how I got so lucky to have been friends with her. I can just listen every day.

Karen, you are so missed and loved. Until we meet again, I'll continue to keep my promise to you.

I forgot to rate it. Geeze.

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever and she just made it that much better. Jesus be with you Karen :)
