Hit Songs Sounds - George Cates

Ghost Guitar
Estrellita
Hit Songs - Hit Sound
George Cates / Arrangements by George Cates
Featuring Neil Le Vang on Guitar
Dot DLP 3564 (mono)
1964

This is another fine light pop album by George Cates who worked, many years, for Lawrence Welk.

While "Ghost Guitar" isn't representative of the set's "sonic vibe" it does represent the general vibrance and humor of the arrangements. I posted a second sample so that you can better hear the work of the featured guitarist.
