From 1976, Guy Hovis doing his impression of another very famous singer from his hometown of Tupelo, Mississippi....one hound dog saluting another!
Of course today is August 16th....twenty nine years ago to this day in 1977, Elvis has left the buliding for the last time....which left everyone, including Welk fans all shooked up.
The blogmeister is also the webmaster behind the very successful Welk Musical Family.com. I have been a fan of Lawrence Welk since I was a youngster (not too long ago!) and have watched (and taped) his show every Saturday night on my local PBS station, WGTE and sometimes WBGU. My hometown and current residence is Toledo, Ohio and in recent years, I have attended many of their live concerts and had the chance to meet many of the wunnerful music makers as well.
Great photo! Sad day.
