Thoughts on the Buddy Merrill interview

I just finished listening to Buddy being interviewed by Dave White....great stuff!

It was very insightful, Buddy talked about the finer points of multi-tracking recording and the guitar....especially about the steel pedal, the Stratmaster and Fender electrics.

He also talked to Dave about his time on the Lawrence Welk Show, how he became part of the band, when he was drafted into the Army in 1959 playing for the West Point Band and his amazing home studio where he recorded albums of his brilliant guitar work.

Personally, it's a rare treat getting a chance to hear a legendary musician of his caliber speak. Especially, if he was part of a great organization like Lawrence Welk's.

Tomorrow, the broadcast should be available online at AUDIO ENTERTAINMENT and KSAV's Legacy Archives.

Dave White Presents is available as a mp3 download, podcast and on iTunes

Thoughts on the Buddy Merrill interview

Buddy Merrill on Dave White Presents

I found about this from the Welknotes Yahoo group I belong to....if my hunch is right and all goes well. This will be radio worth listening to!

On the next episode of Dave White Presents on internet radio KSAV, Dave will interview Buddy Merrill. We all know Buddy as part of the Welk orchestra from 1955 to 1974 and is quite the pioneer when it comes to recording techniques, especially in multi-tracking singles and albums featuring his fine work on the guitar.

It's scheduled to air Tuesday, January 19th at 7:30 PM - pacific time, 10:30 PM - eastern standard time.

You can listen online at KSAV's website, or if you want to listen at a later date by podcast, go to the Dave White Presents official site.

Ask Natalie!

Ever wanted to ask Welk star Natalie Nevins a question?

I got a email from my good buddy Brad Moore from Kansas City, he's a good friend of Natalie whom he talks with her weekly by phone. Back in 1999, he made the popular newsletter "Notes From Natalie" in which she gave fans her extensive background in television and stage prior to joining Lawrence Welk.

Me and Brad are trying to put together an interview in which you the fans can submit a question for Ms. Nevins, send it to Brad and she can answer.

It can be about her time in the Welk show, her career and her life....anything you have always wondered.

I'll post the whole transcript on my main webpage in the not-to-distant-future, more details and updates will follow.

Just send your questions here to this email link....ASK NATALIE.
