The band had plenty of talented musicians that provided the excellent music, one of them is violinist Kirsten Weingartner
Here's Kirsten doing a spendid version of "Wild Dog", Joe Livoti would be very proud of her.
From a Google search of her, she's spent eleven years as violinst for the Live Welk Show at the Welk Theater and has performed with several other orchestras such as the Omaha Symphony, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago and the Chamber Orchestra of the Ozarks just to name a few.
If you get a chance to see her perform, do so. It's well worth your time.
