On a personal level, I have had the pleasure of seeing Joe Feeney perform live in person not once, but twice. The first time was in April 2004 at the Forever Blowing Bubbles concert in South Euclid, Ohio and the second time in Eastlake, OH on November 2005, with the Bubbles troupe.
He's still got it, the voice, the stage presence and his charm...and although I only met him very briefly, Joe was a very nice and gracious fellow.
Here are some pictures of him from the Eastlake concert....just a few great ways to remember him.
We'll miss you Joe! Say hi to the Maestro, Jimmy Roberts, Myron Floren, Aladdin and the rest of the boys in the band for us.
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.
