Henry Cuesta playing the exact same arrangement of "If I Had You" with the Welk band, about 20 years later:

Interesting to compare the different approaches to the same tune and arrangement.

GBK, I saw Pete's first appearnance on the LW show and remember being "blown away" as a young high school clarinetist. I have that first performance on reel to reel tape, but not video--:>( It was always amusing to me to see how Pete enhanced his appearance for the TV and that is why I thought these old vids would be of interest to all--and of course, his early playing. He and Chuck Hedges have a lot in common.
