GOOD NIGHT.

>> WE HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED OUR SHOW ALL ABOUT TIME.

AND RIGHT NOW IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO MEET OUR SPECIAL GUEST.

WE'VE WATCHED HER SING AND DANCE AND PLAY THE ACCORDION AND LAWRENCE WELK ALWAYS CALLED HER THE QUEEN OF THE HONKY TONK, RAG TIME AND BOOGIE WOOGIE PIANO.

THAT COULD ONLY BE JO ANN CASTLE.

HI, JO ANN.

>> HOW YOU DOING, MARY LOU?

>> GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.

DOES THIS SHOW BRING BACK MEMORIES FOR YOU?

>> A LOT OF MEMORIES, ESPECIALLY THE THINGS WE USED TO DO TOGETHER.

DOING THE SAME THING EVERY WEEK, PLAYING THE PIANO IS GREAT, DON'T GET ME WRONG.

BUT WHEN I GOT TO DO THINGS WITH THE OTHER CAST MEMBERS, I HAD MORE FUN.

IT WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE WERE LIKE KIDS DOING SOMETHING TOGETHER EVEN THOUGH IT WAS KIND OF REHEARSED.

BUT I LOVED THAT.

THAT WAS MY FAVORITE PART OF WORKING ON "THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW."

>> YOU GREW UP IN BAKERSFIELD.

>> BAKE)SFIELD, CALIFORNIA.

I LIVED IN VENTURA, CALIFORNIA.

WHEN I WAS 13 YEA OLD, I KNEW I WANTED TO BE IN SHOW BUSINESS.

SO WE JUST CONTINUED SOUTH AND WE WENT TO LOS ANGELES.

>> NOW, YOUR MOM WAS A HARVEY GIRL.

>> YES, SHE WAS.

THAT'S WHERE SHE MET MY FATHER.

SHE WAS A -- HE WAS A RAILROAD MAN AND HE WAS A BRAKEMAN FIRST, THEN A CONDUCTOR.

AND THEY MET ON THE TRAIN.

HE RAN ACROSS HER AND SHE WAS EATING POP CORN AND HE BUMPED INTO HER AND HE PICKED@ UP HER POPCORN AND THAT WAS IT.

>> THAT SOUNDS LIKE A JUDY GARLAND MOVIE.

SO HOW DID YOU HAPPEN TO START PLAYING?

>> WELL, WHEN I WAS THREE YEARS OLD WE STARTED WITH THE SINGING AND DANCING.

THERE WAS A TEACHER AROUND THE CORNER AND SHE WAS STARTING A STUDIO.

SO SHE STARTED ME WITH THE SINGING AND DANCING.

AND I USED TO GET UP IN THE MORNING AT 6:00 A.M. AND THEY WOULD TELL ME I USED TO BANG ON THE PIANO AND WAKE THEM UP.

MY FATHER TURNED TO MY MOTHER ONE MORNING AND SAID WE'VE GOT TO GET THAT GERM LESSONS.

-- GET THAT GIRL LESSONS.

THERE S A TEACHER WHO ALSO LIVED AROUND THE CORNER WHO TAUGHT MUSIC.

I JUST HAD TO WALK JUST AROUND THE CORNER AND I STARTED WITH MY PIANO LESSONS.

>> SO THEN WHERE DID THE ACCORDION COME INTO IT >> WELL, THERE WAS A MAN WHO ALSO, WHEN WE MOVED TO VENTURA, CALIFORNIA, HE STARTED A STUDIO THERE AND MY PARENTS THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE IF I PLAYED THE ACCORDION BECAUSE WITH THE ACCORDION, I COULD DO -- MOVE AROUND MORE.

THE PIANO IS STATIONARY.

SO I STARTED WITH THE ACCORDION.

IN TWO WEEKS I WAS PLAYING.

I MEAN IF YOU PLAY THE PIANO, YOU CANY INSTRUMENT.

I WANT TO TELL THAT TO EVERYBODY OUT THERE, ESPECIALLY YOUNGSTERS, BECAUSE IF YOU START WITH THE PIANO AND YOU WANT TO PLAY SOMETHING ELSE LATER, IT'S SO MUCH EASIER TO START WITH THE PIANO.

>> NOW, YOU TOLD ME YOUR DAD BROUGHT HOME THE MAPLE LEAF RAG.

>> YES.

YES, HE DID.

HE BROUGHT HOME THE MUSIC AND HE INSISTED I LEARN IT.

AND I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY TOUGH AND IT WAS HARD.

>> IT'S ONE OF THE HARDEST.

>> IT'S ONE OF THE HARDEST.

AND I WAS 12, 13 YEARS OLD AND HE USED TO COME HOME@ AND HE WOULD INSIST I PLAY IT FOR HIM.

S@O IF I DIDN'T GET ANY BETTER WITHIN FOUR BARS, HE KNEW IT BECAUSE HE PLAYED CLARINET IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

SO HE KNEW MUSIC.

SO I FINALLY LEARNED IT.

I THOUGHT OH, GOODNESS HE'LL GET OFF MY BACK.

SO AS SOON AS I FINHED LEARNING THAT SONG, HE aROUGHT HOME THE DILL PICKLE RAG.

AND HE STARTED BRICKING HOME ALL THESE RAGS.

AD -- >> SO DID YOU LIKE RAGTIME?

>> YEAH, I DID BECAUSE THE CLASSICAL IS ALL I WAS PLAYING, THEN I STARTED PLAYING BOOGIE WOOGIE AND PEOPLE LIKED TO HEAR IT SO I WOULD PLAY RAGTIME AND ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE HIS AGE AND OLDER.

THEY THOUGHT A 13-YEAR-OLD PLAYING RAGTIME WAS VERY UNUSUAL.

>> SURE.

NOW, WERE YOU REALLY WORKING IN LAS VEGAS AT 17 YEARS OLD?

@@ >> YES.

I LOOKED MUCH OLER.

MY MOTHER MADE MY COSTUMES.

I HAD AN AGENT.

AND I GOT A QUARTET, THREE OTHER MEN -- FOUR MEN, EXCUSE ME, A QUARTET.

AND WE PLAYED THE DUNES HOTEL IN LAS VEGAS AND THE FREMONT HOTEL.

THE FIRST TIME I PLAYED WAS FREMONT AND I WORKED ON SIT WAYNE NEWTON.

HE AND I WORKED UNTIL 4:00 IN THE MORNING.

WE HAD TO DO SIX SHOWS A DAY.

WE STARTED ACTUALLY UNTIL 4:00 -- STARTED AT 4:00 IN THE AFTERNOON AND THE LAST SHOW WAS AT 4:00 A.M.

I DIDN'T DRIVE@.

MY MOTHER WOULD PICK ME UP AND WE WENT AS SISTERS SO THEY WOULD THINK I WAS OLDER.

SO I HAD TO LEARN TO CALL HER BY HER RST NAME.

SO I WAS CALLING MY MOTHER DOTSIE FOR YEARS.

>> NOW, HOW DID YOU HAPPEN TO MEET LAWRENCE WELK?

>> WELL, THE FIRST TIME, HE CAME TO -- I'M SORRY.

HE CAME TO VENTURA, CALIFORNIA.

HE WAS ON LOCAL TELE.ISION THERE FOR FOUR YEARS IN L.A. AND HIS VERYIRST APPEARANCE WITH THE BAND AND EVERYONE WAS IN VENTURA, AND HE AND MYRON FLOREN AND THEN THERE WAS ROBERTA LYNN, CHAMPAGNE LADY.

THEY ALL CAME TO VENTURA AND WE SNUCK OURSELVES BACK STAGE, MY PARENTS AND I.

AND WE GOT TO MEET THEM AT LAWRENCE.

I MET MYRON AND MET ROBERTA LYNN AND THE VERY NEXT DAY MYRON ASKED ME TO GO TO A MUSIC STORE WHERE HE WOULD BE SIGNING AUTOGRAPHS, SO WE NATURALLY SAID WE'LL SEE YOU THERE.

AND MY MOTHER BROUGHT THE CAMERA.

TOOK A PICTURE WITH MYRON.

AND HE ABSOLUTELY REMEMBERS IT CONSTANTLY.

HE REMEMBERS IT ALL THESE YEARS.

AND OF COURSE NOW WE KNOW WE'VE LOST MR. MYRON FLOREN, THE GREAT LEGEND ON THE ACCORDION.

BUT WHEN I WAS TAKING HIS PICTURE, TH BEST PART ABOUT IT IS I'M AS TALL AS HE IS AT 12.

>> 12 YEARS OLD.

>> IN MY FLAT SHOES, I'M AS TL AS HE IS, YES.

>> NOW, I READ THAT JOE FEENEY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH YOU GETTING ON THE SHOW.

>> YES.

I DIDN'T KNOW THIS UNTIL I MET JOE FEENEY AND GOT ON THE SHOW.

BUT WE SENT MY FIRST ALBUM I EVER MADE, I WAS 18, ON THE ACCORDION.

AND THAT WAS SENT AS LIKE AN AUDITION.

AND MY PICTURE WAS ON THE FRONT.

OF COURSE I LOOKED 35 YEARS OLD THEN.

BUT I WAS ONLY 18 WHEN T@HIS PICTURE WAS TAKEN.

WE SENT IT TO LAWRENCE WELK AND I UNDERSTAND THAT JOE FEENEY DID THE AUDITIONING AND THOSE THAT HE HEARD WEREN'T THAT GOOD, HE WOULD PUT ADE AND THOSE THAT WERE GOOD HE THOUGHT LAWRENCE SHOULD HEAR HE WOULD TAKE TO LAWRENCE WELK.

>> HE WAS THE SCREENER.

>> HE SCREENED MY RECORD AND SAID I WAS JUST ONE OF THOSE THAT HE PICKED.

HE TELLS ME THAT ALL THE TIME, WITHOUT ME, YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER MADE@ "THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW."

>> SO DID THAT PUT YOU ON THE SHOW?

>> PUT ME ON THE SHOW.

I DIDN'T HAVE TO MAKE AN AUDITION.

THAT WAS MY AUDITION.

BUT REALLY, I FOUND OUT THE REASON I WENT ON "THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW" WAS BECAUSE SOMEONE SAID SHE ALSO PLAYS HONKY TONK AND RAGTIME PIANO.

BECAUSE I WAS DOING A LOCAL TELEVISION SHOW AT THE SAME TIME AND I WAS PLAYING HONKY TONK PIANO.

AND SO THAT'S HOW I GOT ON THE SHOW, NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE ACCORDION, BECAUSE MYRON WAS ALREADY THERE.

>> SURE.

>> SO I WENT ON.

I DID A DUET WITH BIG TINY LITTLE AND WE BOTH SAT ON THE SAME BENCH.

OF COURSE IN THOSE DAYS, WE BOTH FIT ON THE SAME BEN OF.

TODAY IT WOULD NEVER WORK.

>> NOW, IT WAS INTERESTING THAT CHARLEY PRIDE WAS THE SPECIAL GUEST ON THIS PROGRAM.

YOU DISCOVERED HIM LONG BEFORE.

>> YES.

WERE ON THE ROAD "THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW," AND WHEN WE HAD TIME, A LOT OF TIMES, WE WERE THERE FIVE DAYS AT A STATE FAIR IN GREAT FALLS, MONTANA.

SO JOE FEENEY, JACK IMEL AND I DECIDED TO GO TO THIS BIG COUNTRY WESTERN PLACE AND WE HEARD THERE WAS THIS SINGER THERE THAT WAS STANDING OUT.

THEY DIDN'T TELL US WHO IT WAS.

SO WE WENT THERE AND HE COMES ON STAGE AS CHARLEY PRIDE AND IT WAS VERY UNUSUAL IN THE EARLY '60s TO SEE A BLACK MAN WITH A COWBOY HAT SINGING COUNTRY TUNES.

AND HE SANG GREAT.

HE HAD A GREAT PERSONALITY.

AND WE SAID HE WOULD BE GREAT ON THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW.

LAWRENCE WELK WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

SOMEBODY DIFFERENT.

SO JACK IMEL WAS THE ASSOCIATE PRUCER AT THE TIME.

SO WE TOOK IT UPON TELLING JACK, YOU GOTTA TELL LAWRENCE.

AND JACK DID.

AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, HE WAS IN CALIFORNIA AND HE DID SPECIAL GUESTS ON THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW.

HE HAD PEOPLE LOOK IN.

THEY DID.

THEY SIGNED HIM TO A CONTRACT AND THE REST IS HISTORY.

>>@ YOUR 20th BIRTHDAY WAS A VERY SPECIAL EVENT FOR YOU.

>> WELL, I WAS ON "THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW" ON A WEEK TO WEEK BASIS AND I GUESS EVERYBODY HAD THAT SORT OF SAYING IT WAS CALLED AUDITIONS BUT YOU'RE ON TELEVISION TO SEE HOW THE PUBLIC LIKES YOU.

ALL HE HAD WAS THE LENNON SISTERS AND ALICE LONG dAD JUST QUIT AND SO THERE WAS NO CHAMPAGNE LADY SO I WAS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT.

HE WANTED TO SEE HOW I'D GO OVER.

SO I WAS ON THE FOURTH WEEK LAWRENCE WELK CAME TO ME, HE SAID JUST BEFORE I WENT ON THE AIR, HE SAID I'D LIKE TO MENTION HOW OLD YOU ARE AND TELL THE PEOPLE YOU'RE 19 YEARS OLD, BECAUSE THIS IS UNUSUAL.

I SAID, OH, YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

HE SAYS WHY?

I SAID BECAUSE IF YOU ANNOUNCE THAT I'M 19, I SAID AND YOU DON'T HIRE ME, I SAID I HAVE TO GO BACK TO DOING WHAT I DO AND I PLAY A LOT OF NIGHT CLUBS AROUND THE COUNTRY AND YOU HAVE TO BE 21 TO DO THAT.

MY MOTHER AND I WOULD TRAVEL AND WE HAD FAKE I.D.

AND ALL THAT.

BUT IT WAS GREAT EXPERIENCE, I'M TELLING YOU NOW.

BUT ANYWAY, SAID IF YOU DON'T HIRE ME -- AND HE LOOKED AT ME REALLY STRANGE AND I THOUGHT, OH, THAT'S IT.

I'M NOT GOING TO -- WELL, THE FOLLOWING WEEK WAS MY 20th BIRTHDAY.

AND I WENT ON THE SHOW, DID MY NUMBER, WHEN I TURNED AROUND TO SMILE AT THE CROWD, THE AUDIENCE, AND THE CAMERA, LAWRENCE WELK CAME OUT WITH THIS HUGE BIRTHDAY CAKE WITH THE HONKY TONK PIANO RIGHT ON THE ICING AND THE WHOLE BAND, THEY SANG HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND I JUST STARTED CRYING BECAUSE -- I'M ON TELEVISION, I'M SAYING TO MYSELF, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE AN ADULT HERE, I'M CRYING IN FRONT OF ALL THESE MUSICIANS, I'M 20.

I SHOULD BE AN ADULT.

AND I WAS LIKE TRYING TO HOLD ANY TEARS BACK.

AND HE HIRED ME RIGHT ON THE AIR.

IT WAS SO WONDERFUL.

I REALLY, REALLY WANTED TO BE ON "THE LAWRENCE WELK SHOW" SINCE I WAS 12 YEARS OLD.

>> THAT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE FOR YOU.

>> DREAM COME TRUE.

I USED TO LIE IN BED SEEING MYSELF BE ANNOUNCED BY LAWRENCE WELK, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW IT WAS GOING TO WORK OUT BECAUSE HE HAD MYRON FLOREN@ ON THE ACCORDION AND BIG TINY LITTLE ON THE PIANO.

BUT I JUST SAW LAWRENCE WELK SAYING JO ANN CASTLE.

>> WHAT'S THE GREATEST LESSON YOU LEARNED FROM LAWRENCE?

>> WELL, ONE COMES RIGHT TO MY MIND, BE ON TIME AND KNOW YOUR CRAFT.

AND BE PREPARED.

AND HE WAS ALWAYS I MEAN STRICT ON THAT.

WE ALL KNOW THAT, BE ON TIME.

KNOW YOUR CRAFT.

AND DON'T UNDERESTIMATE YOUR AUDIENCE.

>> YOU LOVE YOUR AUDIENCE.

>> YOUR AUDIENCE, REALLY AND ALWAYS TAKE TIME F THEM BECAUSE WITHOUT THEM, I ALWAYS FEEL -- I FEEL TERRIBLE ABOUT SOME OF THESE STARS THAT WON'T SIGN AN AUTOGRAPH AND WE WORK FOR THEM.

I MEAN WITHOUT THEM, WE DON'T HAVE A JOB.

AND I'M JUST SAYING, YOU KNOW, THESE PEOPLE ARE KIND ENOUGH -- I KNOW THEY COME UP TO YOU WHEN YOU'RE EATING AND THINGS, BUT THEY'RE SO THRILLED.

THEY DON'T REALIZE, YOU KNOW, THAT YOU DO HAVE A LIFE, BUT STILL THEY'RE FANS AND ALWAYS TREAT THEM WITH RESPECT AND DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THEM.

AND BE ON TIME.

>> WE LOVE YOU, JO ANN.

>> WELL, I LOVE DOING THIS.

>> YOU BROUGHT SO MUCH JOY TO SO MANY PEOPLE.

>> I HOPE I CAN CONTINUE.

>> WE'RE SO GRATEFUL TO ALL OF YOU FOR SHARING YOUR EVENING WITH US.

SO UNTIL NEXT TIME, AS LAWRENCE WELK ALWAYS SAID, KEEP A SONG IN YOUR HEART.
