Today is the birthday of one of the Blenders, Steve Smith...who was with the Music Makers from 1965 to 1969.
In addition to his work with the Blenders, he also was a soloist and fronted the Curt Ramsey Quintet. Today, he and his wife Hope live in the Lake Tahoe region.
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.
