Read in my local paper today that Norma Zimmer, the vocalist that Lawrence Welk always referred to as the Champagne Lady on his show, has died. I know some of you would probably think as I did....how could anybody from that show still be alive, but the story said she was 87 and had enjoyed a relatively active life before she passed.

She was on the show from 1960-82, according to this article, which meant she was just in her mid 30s when she started, so I guess that is not so far-fetched.
