We have never been able to find the exact location of the 1970 California re-shoot; but we believe it was in the city of Palo Alto.

As for the stockings and doll, the ones used on the original 1966 Gracie Mansion fireplace probably belonged to Mayor Lindsay's kids. When WPIX did the 1970 re-shoot, they tried to duplicate the original ones used as close as they could; but they used a much nicer doll as the original one was hideous.

My apologies,

Will,

I haven't listened to the full 8-hours yet, but did have this playing a few different times for at least 3 hours and I didn't notice the music repeating.  I did just go to the video and clicked at about 90 minutes in and the songs were different.  Also clicking ahead to different spots, I didn't hear anything that was the same.

At 1:34  Brazilian Sleigh Ride  plays followed by Here comes Santa Claus and then about 5:43, it does repeat, but skipping ahead to just before the 3 hour mark the songs are different and also through out the rest of the tape, from what I can see.

{EDITED Because I had reversed the two times I had mentioned}
