Saturday Night in Toledo, Ohio
Usually means Lawrence Welk on my public television station....
For some reason, they showed the TV Treasures special in place of this week's program, Music Memories of 1969.
Must be working out the bugs for that switch to digital television.

Some highlights from '69....Cissy & Bobby are getting the audience involved...
Also we have the twin pianists of Bob Ralston and Frank Scott.
The Curt Ramsey Quintet....with Andra Willis as a member
And finally, Bob Havens making some trombone magic....
Hopefully, by next week....the bugs will be worked out both at WGTE and me, nothing says winter more so than a nasty cold, and I just happened to catch one!
Someone pass the tissues please.
