Opening Theme
Andy would sing part of a popular song to open the showSTORYLINE
Not much of a plot here, billed as a musical variety show and that it was. Old standards as well as contemporary sounds blended to keep the show fresh. New artist were featured (in the genre - no hard rock & roll allowed) and some got their big break on the show.Andy discovered the Osmond Brothers at Disney Land and invited them on the show, they became semi-regulars and eventually got their own weekly show, with sister Marie of course.
Comedy was also an integral part of each show with comedic guest stars doing funny skits and recurring bits. "The Cookie Bear" was a regular favorite as was the "Giant Talking Bee".
Musical styles changed some through the course of the show but Andy's suave soft spoken demeanor never did and audiences loved him.
He is currently doing a stage show at a club which he owns in Branson, MO.
