Tahoe Highlights '72

On this day, 1972, some 38 years ago....the Lawrence Welk Show aired the episode Tahoe Highlights nationwide.

It was a fun, nostalgic and musical show.

The epsiode shows off the Musical Family's acting skills, like Tanya's impression of Sophie Tucker, Ken Delo's impression of Al Jolson, Dick Dale's version of Dean Martin and Guy Hovis doing his Elvis Presley.

So that's how the Elvis impersonator craze got started....
