1. I knew a guy (sax player) who did a tour with the Welk band in the early 80's. |

I've never seen anyone, before or since, who could drink Jack Daniels like it was mother's milk as he could after he got off that road gig.

2. I wonder if those two Iowa people or Lawrence Welk were |
|
ever told what they were actually singing about. Ever since someone posted that damned video on facbook a couple days ago, that song has been popping into my head whenever I partake of "modern" communion, lol.

OOPS-guess I'm half asleep; early to mid 80's was when I played with him... Too bad; that would've been a great story... ( still pretty damn funny whoever it was, but hey, a gig's a gig).

But like Jim, he was also a great player.
...a guy I met in Denton, TX when I played in a Ornette-meets-James Brown kind of band called the Nuclear Hamsters.
