From 1965, here's organist Jerry Burke in one of his last appearances on the Welk show before his death as he joins Frank Scott at the harpsichord and Buddy Merrill at guitar as they play "Apples & Bananas" one of the Welk orchestra's popular recordings.
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.
