I assume the Lawrence Welk Show at 11 P.M. on WMAZ-TV, Channel 13 in Macon is one that was delayed from August 4th. Is that the same Roberta Shore in that program who was in "The Shaggy Dog" and some other Disney shows? I didn't know she was a singer.

That's the same one! She also was on "The Virginian" for the first 3 seasons and often sang on that show as well. Here's a clip of her from a Welk show:

Thanks for making that clip available. I never heard Roberta Shore sing before. She sounded a little like: Theresa Brewer....Jill Corey....even Sue Thompson.
