Music Memories
This week's Lawrence Welk Show episode is titled "Music Memories" which originally aired on January 1969, here are a few music memories from the show!
Bobby Burgess and Cissy King opening the program with the Pennsylvania Polka
The Curt Ramsey Quintet of Charlie Parlato, Norma Zimmer, Steve Smith, Andra Willis and Curt himself with "I'll Never Smile Again."
The dueling accordians of Jo Ann Castle and Myron Floren with "Just Because."
Cissy & Bobby on a musical history tour of the ballroom dance, here's America's Number One Dancing Couple doing the Charleston
And here's Dick Dale singing about "Linda", and I wonder who is this Linda anyway?
A very fine show indeed, complete with Mary Lou Metzger's interview with Bob Ralston.
Until next week.....keep the bubble machine running!

The Curt Ramsey Quintet
One of the Lawrence Welk Show's popular vocal acts that were all familiar with is the Curt Ramsey Quintet...led by Curt himself, who originally played trumpet in the band and later became an arranger and music librarian.
The lineup has went through several incarnations....each new member bringing something different and unique to the table, here's the quintet through the years.
It all started here in the sixties.....the age of Aquarius
From 1967, Charlie Parlato, Norma Zimmer, Steve Smith, Curt Ramsey and Dick Cathcart...note Buddy Merrill is providing steel guitar melodies!
From 1969....Charlie, Norma, Steve with Andra Willis and Curt.....
It's now 1974....the quintet now has Dick Dale, Norma, Curt, Gail Farrell and Charlie!
And now we move on to the 1980s......
Here's Dick with Mary Lou Metzger joining Charlie, Gail and Curt.
The lineups may change, but the beautiful melodies and harmonies remain the same....they still sound terrfic on reruns!
