Hi Dewey,
          You will be happy to know that you are not the only rabid Lawrence Welk fan on this forum. I am also one. By the way, the name of your favorite baritone singer is Tom Netherton, not Netherland. He has his own theatre today in Myrtle Beach, SC where he performs regularly. I have to wait till my wife leaves the house before I can put on my Lawrence Welk tapes because she can't stand them. My mother used to watch his program religiously every week and I developed a love for his music. My favorites were The Lennon Sisters and the champagne lady, Norma Zimmer. I also loved the duets sung by Dick Dale and Dianne Lennon. Although Mr. Welk has passed on long ago, his financial empire still exists stronger than ever. The family operates a resort complex and theatre in Branson, Mo. and many of the same stars including the Lennon Sisters, are still part of the show. My knowledge of Welk's music has been a tremendous asset to me as I do a lot of work with Senior Citizens groups and have to entertain them on their bus tours. SOL ZELLER
