I grew up in the same town as Cissy King, one of the dancers on the Lawrence Welk show; I remember dancing with her a few times. She was very pretty as well as athletic in high school and college.

The lonely divorced mother of one of my guy friends in grade school used to watch and loved Liberace. Somehow I sensed, mostly from his smile, he was gay even way back then.

In the last couple of years I tuned into a few Lawrence Welk reruns and watched them just for fun. Frankly, I prefer Hee Haw reruns because I had a crush on Sunshine Cornsilk (Lisa Todd).
