Jo Ann Castle was a honky-tonk and ragtime pianist on the Lawrence Welk show, appearing weekly between 1959 and 1969. Here she is on the January 9th, 1960 show to play Charles L. Johnson's classic 1906 rag, "Dill Pickles". If you want to learn more about Jo Ann, I wrote an in depth blog about her which you can find here: https://thatraggedyragtime.blogspot.c...
