That vocal you hear is none other than Norma Zimmer of the Lawrence Welk Show.

Those were some tasty days! But the violins played like that were haunting to my ears!

I know my late friend,Al Hendrickson,played on some of Cates' records.I wonder if he was on that one.Cates was never my idea of a conductor when I saw him on Welk.I always called him an actor.
