Hollywood (again)

This 1975 show is, as the title suggest, a salute to Hollywood; one of a number of the same theme presented throughout the Welk run. Credit PBS and OETV for broadcasting it on Memorial Day weekend, much like the tribute to Jerome Kern done on Easter Sunday.

It covers a wide range of movies: "The King and I," Sound of Music," "Butch Cassidy"...And, as usual, each song is abbreviated down to 2 minutes.

By this time, Welk is left with two violinist, Joe and Bob. Also, Myron is completely missing, with, of course, no mention of his absence. The wrap around features Gail Farrell (again), with the same anecdotes she always tells.

Not a bad offering, below the level if the 1955-68 shows, but better than the last few years.
