  Regarding Steve's message: Stan Freeberg (and the bubble machine) forever.

  Incidentally, speaking of Welk, my late dear friend Andy Karzas's father and uncle built and owned the Aragon and Trianon ballrooms in Chicago from the 1920s. After his father's death, Andy owned and managed the Aragon. 1957 afterward. The Trianon was sold around 1954/5. Andy told me many great stories about the great pop stars and bandleaders of the 1940s, who would come to his parents' house in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood. Sometimes to stay. Andy always said that the nicest, gentlest, most completely honest of all was Lawrence Welk. He said the persona Welk projected on television was really his sincere self.

  Andy told me a few other great stories, including about Dick Jurgens drunk and in BIG trouble. And more about Andy's efforts to run the Aragon when rock came along. Maybe later.

Yeah, but you've got to have that sailboat with an orchestra following in a
dingy.

Guys and Gals of the ARSCList -- I think we have all just heard the real
definition of true love!  In the background I think I hear a concertina,
Bing Crosby, and Grace Kelly . . .
