There is this need

....for my knee to get better, but that's another story.

Here's the Blenders with a modern day spiritual titled "There Is This Need" 

Nice matching sweaters fellas.

The Blenders - Big Men on Campus

I don't think any of them ever went to Purdue...

However, they did attend Westmount College in Santa Barbara

Champagne Music under Martial Law

Must be the episode where the Army was sent in.....

Actually, this is the Salute to Vienna episode from 1966 where the Music Makers sing and dance Austrian music

You can't beat entertainment like this!

The "You're Fenced In" haiku

An Italian Haiku

One of my finest 5-7-5 ever written, now that's amore!

On the streets of Rome

There's singing, dancing and fun

Viva Italia!

Blend in with Blender Steve Smith

I know that some of you out there who surf the World Wide Web are thinking one thing....are there any webpages of Steve Smith, male vocalist from the Welk Show I can visit?

Ladies, you're prayers have been answered! Time to go back to the wunnerful 1960s as my webpage has opened up a photo album featuring Steve himself, either as a soloist, as a member of the Blenders or as part of the Curt Ramsey Quintet.

And here's the link! STEVE SMITH: WELK ICON OF THE SIXTIES

Memories of The Blenders

Anyone remember the Blenders from the mid-sixties episodes? Let us refresh your memory here...

They consist of Bob Duncan, Steve Smith, Greg Dixon and Johnny Johnson

Later when Johnson left, Paul Sjolund took his place....

Later, the quartet broke up....but Steve Smith stayed around as a soloist until 1969. When those fellers were around, they made such great melodies and memories as well!

I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles

Howdy fans, I have returned last night from Eastlake, OH where I saw the Forever Blowing Bubbles concert.

Here's a little teaser of what went on at the show.

Those are the Blenders, from left to right is Skip Taylor, Michael Redman, Bob Duncan and Greg Dixon.

I will be working on the Forever Blowing Bubbles page on my normal website for the next couple of days, an edit there....a touch up here and then some, and I'll let you know when it is all done!

Right now, it's raining back in Toledo and all across Ohio....YECH!

But nothing will rain on my Champagne parade today!
