Merry Christmas from The Villa-Lobos Magazine

Unknown photographer, from the Museu Villa-Lobos Website. Creative Commons attribution

Heitor Villa-Lobos sent this photo to far-away Rio de Janeiro from New York City on Christmas Eve, 1957. His own mother had died in 1946, so perhaps this went out to Mindinha's mother, Villa's mother-in-law.

"À nossa querida mãezinha, Feliz Natal e Ano Novo. NY, 24/12/57. Villa-Lobos"

"To our dear mother, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year."

I'm also thinking of my Mom, who would have turned 92 last week. And I'm also very thankful to all my Villa-Lobos friends around the world. Feliz Natal!
