Today marks the first day of July, and it is also Clay Hart's birthday today!
The show's resident "country boy" hails from Providence, Rhode Island and orginally wanted to be a stockbroker "Clay the Stockbroker?" but soon discovered that picking up a guitar and singing was a lot more fun.
Good move....he's been a member of the musical family from 1969 to 1975, and has enjoyed a successful singing career in his own right. He's also at one time was nominated for a Grammy for his country album "Spring".
Happy Birthday Clay.....my today and your following birthdays always be "Gentle On Your Mind."
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.
