Pete Fountain Leaves Welk Show for New Orleans Club
Pete Fountain bids farewell on ABC TV’s Lawrence Welk show after two years, citing a need to step away from Welk’s strict rules. He ships his wife Beverly and the three children to New Orleans and plans Pete Fountain's Bateau Lounge at 600 Bourbon St. He recalls Welk’s benevolence but says the fatherly relationship ended as jazz didn’t fit the polka world. Fountain’s move follows a long California run and a desire for home life.
