‘O Holy Night’ also happens to be the very first piece of music ever heard over broadcast radio, on the night of Christmas Eve, December 24th, 1906. Professor Reginald Fessenden, a Canadian inventor living in Brant Rock, Massachusetts, made the first broadcast of voice and music over radio on that night. He played ‘O Holy Night’ on his violin.

BRAVO and Merry Christmas to you and yours from another opera lover, who admires that trio too.

OUTSTANDING and fascinating. My mom loved Caruso. Jussi Bjorling - I’d never heard of or knew anything about until now.

Thanks.

Love all you opera lovers who sound like you are or were on East Coast.

My mother, born 1913 grew up in Morenci, Arizona. Her father born in Italy, wound up the Victrola every morning and played opera to wake up the kids for school. In the boonies.
