Re: RIP Pete Fountain
I think he got his start on the Welk T.V. program. Now that both he and big Al Hirt are gone things must be a little more quiet in the big easy.
Re: RIP Pete Fountain
Yes, Fountain was often on the Lawrence Welk program, and also numerous appearances on Johnny Carson, too.
The NY Times has published a nicely-written life bio and memorial article on Fountain:

Re: RIP Pete Fountain
There are few replacements for a man of this caliber. He was great.
