Cool story on the Premiere of Love Me Tender in New York. I wonder if it was on the Paramount's big screen in Ashland around the same time?

Rarely do I find a cover version as good as the original hit, but this is an exception.
Lawrence Welk was a Saturday night fixture on ABC. Channel 13 was locked on both sets of my grandparents' houses when Lawrence was on. Stay to the end and hear Mr. Welk's description of the song.

This video has created quite a buzz. Don't Bogart it, pass it around. :)
