"I had never seen Ken Delo perform
live before, so it was a treat to hear
and see him. He brought a nice
touch as emcee, a role he plays
very well. His jokes were also funny
- a great entertainer.
His Elvis medley was a
nice tribute to the King of
Rock 'n' Roll's hometown."
Jim Hollifield

 
 
"Ken was at his best
(when isn't he?)
and has such a relaxing stage
presence; yet he keeps the
audience in the palm of his hand.
He also kept everyone in stitches
with his jokes (during and after
the show).  He is extremely
entertaining and talented."
Judy Shaw

 
 
"Ken is always so much fun..seeing
him perform and chatting with
him afterward."
Terry O'Donnell

 

 
"Anacani has a beautiful voice
and makes singing look
effortless. Some of her singing
is in Spanish and it is so beautiful.
Her dancing is so very lively and entertaining - and she actually
wore 6 costumes today....
three of them being
worn at one time (one under
the other). She is amazing -
first in how good she looks in
them and secondly, because
she designed and sewed
each one. "
Judy Shaw

 
"Anacani must have found the
Fountain of Youth, as she looks
and sounds in top notch form.
I heard many people after
the show comment about her
energy, her fantastic looks
and her trim figure.
I had never heard her sing
"Don't Cry for Me Argentina"
from "Evita" in person before,
so it was great to hear
the song in Spanish
and English, really powerful.
She dedicated a song to
her mother as she played
the guitar and sang."
Jim Hollifield

 
"Anacani's energy is amazing.
She had some new costumes
this show. One thing I don't think
was mentioned was she also
did a country song--
BLUE BAYOU. 
She did a great job on it.".
Terry O'Donnell

 
"As Welk fans, we're used to
seeing some of the ladies tear up
as they remember Lawrence or
get emotional thinking about the
show, but it was something of
a surprise to see Joe become
so emotional, and I say that
in a positive way, because he
emotionally connected with
the audience as he told about
some of the challenges he's
dealt with over the last year."
Jim Hollifield

 
"After intermission was
Joe Feeney's turn.  He put on 
a powerful performance.
What a God-Given voice he
possesses.  He is quite witty
and as Ken had, Joe also
had us in stitches.  And then 
he turned more serious and 
almost had us in tears telling
us about his year 2006
and all of the trials and
tribulations he had
experienced."
Judy Shaw

 
"I always love to hear Irish songs,
but especially when Joe Feeney
sings them.  Hopefully things 
will be better for him this year."
