What memories! I began taking lessons on a Hammond organ about the time of this program. Even before then I watched the entire Welk show each Saturday in hopes of hearing Jerry Burke at the Hammond. He had such a relaxing style and could make a Hammond sound sweet!
Jerry passed away on Feb 13, 1965 just a few months later. His last Welk apperance was Jan 16, 1965. His performance on that show, "Apples & Bananas" is on You Tube also.

I believe Jerry passed away early '65, this must have been one of his last shows.
