About Me
- jbfunky
- 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.
Whatever happened to Natalie Nevins? She was one of the most talented artists on the Welk show. Outrageous the way he fired her!
ReplyDeleteFYI, Natalie passed away this week. See: http://www.phillyburbs.com/news/local/obits_detail/article/136/2010/august/25/natalie-nevins.html
ReplyDeleteWelk also fired Alice Lon (the original Champagne Lady) and Cissy King. The Lennon sisters were "eased out" after they asked for more money. Their appearances became less frequent, and according to their autobiography, one day they were just not on the schedule.
