This episode was truly a fine and loving tribute to a lovely Champagne Lady. We lost Norma almost a year ago, but the memories live on through weekly episodes like this where we can watch her sing with the best of them.
It also gave viewers a glimpse into her family, made up her loving husband of more than sixty years, Randy, and her two sons, Ron and Mark. This show, when first aired on ABC, was the first time Welk fans found out Norma was a terrific painter. The portraits featured on the show was actually painted by her.
We shall never again see the likes of her, so until next week, keep that old familiar song in your heart!

Norma Zimmer has taken over the show
Being the Champagne Lady has plenty of perks....
....being in charge of the band is one of them.
And so is having carte blanche when it comes to dancing partners....
....and having unlimited access to the show's art supplies is a plus!
However, the chance to sing for millions of television viewers is priceless.
