Just found out on the internet that singer and legendary TV host Mike Douglas died early Friday at the age of 81. His syndicated talk show was really popular during the 1960s and 1970s, and he even had many of our Welk stars....like the Maestro himself and the Lennon Sisters just to name a few as guests on the show.

- The blogmeister is also the webmaster behind the very successful Welk Musical Family.com. I have been a fan of Lawrence Welk since I was a youngster (not too long ago!) and have watched (and taped) his show every Saturday night on my local PBS station, WGTE and sometimes WBGU. My hometown and current residence is Toledo, Ohio and in recent years, I have attended many of their live concerts and had the chance to meet many of the wunnerful music makers as well.
