One note about 'Wings,' personally I prefer Ralna's version over Bette Midler's.

That number was a hoot.very exciting, as well as Mary Lou singing 'Oh Johnny,' in a really high voice, as well as 'Ma! He's Making Eyes At Me!' Ralna English also looked sterling and spectacular with 'How Great Thou Art,' 'Tangerine,' and 'Wind Beneath My Wings.' Those numbers are so great and well done, I never get tired of listening to them. I thought about doing it myself, but I was shy when it comes to singing on stage so I stayed in my seat. The show began with Ralna English, Mary Lou Metzger, Dick Dale, Jack Imel, Henry Cuesta, Ava Barber, accordinist Tim Padilla and Russian dancers Pasha and Ilona taking the stage with 'That's Entertainment.' From that point on.I knew this was going to be a great show.Ī lot of the numbers were from 'Four Wunnerful Women,' since Ava, Ralna and Mary Lou were part of that incarnation.and few of the examples were Ava's 'Ya'll Come,' with the help of two male audience members joining her on stage. Only a handful of my friends from Welknotes were able to attend, so that meant that I would represent myself on behalf here in Toledo. With everything prepared, such as my ticket, camera, and autograph gear in tow, on March 29, 2003.I was off to see the show! It has been a little bit over ten months since I saw a Welk show, and that was 'Four Wunnerful Women,' but by the time March rolled around, my second oppurtunity to see a live Lawrence Welk show had arrived! The Live Lawrence Welk Show, produced by Rocklands Entertainment, were slated to perform a Saturday matinee at the Stranahan Theater and I was excited to say the least.
