The Matterhorn: It’s Wunnerful Wunnerful!

For eighteen years, Fred Burri entertained guests at Disneyland by playing the swiss-accordion and yodeling. It would appear that at least one other gent performed those duties, based on this recently acquired July 1969 image.

Looks like the same guy from the Matterhorn band in my previously posted not-so-sharp image from July 1968, taken outside the Sleeping Beauty Castle diorama:

Here are a few of Fred, starting with July 1960:

November 1963:

Now, get out a bottle of champagne and enjoy some Wunnerful, Wunnerful accordion music from Lawrence Welk!

Oom Pah Pah in Fantasyland

A little Oom Pah Pah to start off the work week courtesy of Disneyland's Matterhorn Band. This August 1962 image shows the positioned between the Matterhorn and the Fantasyland Autopia.

The two boys in this detailed view look mesmerized.



Here's a previously posted November 1963 shot of Fred Burri, Disneyland Yodeler:
