"Silver Bells" - Autograph Musical Quotation on a Christmas FDC

AMQS of the composer's popular Christmas song, on a Christmas 1983 first day cover complete with a shiny fabric Santa Claus, gold border, original Season's Greetings stamp and Santa Claus, Indiana postmark.  A great Christmas memento in very fine condition, 16.5 x 9.2 cm.

With lyricist Ray Evans, Livingston won the Academy Award for Best Original Song three times: in 1948 for the song Buttons and Bows, written for the movie The Paleface; in 1950 for the song Mona Lisa, written for the movie Captain Carey, U.S.A.; and in 1956 for the song "Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)," featured in the movie The Man Who Knew Too Much.  They also wrote the Christmas song "Silver Bells" in 1951, for the film The Lemon Drop Kid, initially calling it "Tinkle Bells" but changed it to "Silver" because of the common connotation of "tinkle."
