Ch 3:

At the end of the week, Fonzie followed Joanie and Chachi to room 2020 where Potsie was staying.

"Hi, Webber," Fonzie said.

"Hi, Fonz. Have you thought about taking my place at the Grand Ole Opry on Christmas Eve?" Potsie asked.

"I'm going to do it. Joanie was saying something about my auditioning for you," Fonzie said.

"That's right. What song do you have in mind?" he asked.

Joanie and Chachi couldn't help giggling. The two of them giggled the entire time Fonzie performed for Potsie.

Before Fonzie began, he cleared his throat.

"Silver and gold
Silver and gold
Silver and gold
Ev'ryone wishes
For silver and gold
How do you measure
It's worth?
Just by the pleasure it
Gives here on Earth
Silver and Gold
Silver and Gold
Mean so much more
When I see
Silver
And gold decorations
On Ev'ry Christmas tree
Silver, silver and gold
Silver, silver and gold
Silver and gold
Wise men brought gifts
To the mange I'm told
Mary was humble to see
Shepherds and kings
There on bended knees
It's silver and gold
Silver and gold
Feeling the world
How they shimmer
On ev'ry Christmas night
On ev'ry Christmas night,"
Fonzie sang.

Joanie and Chachi were still in giggles as Fonzie finished the last bar of "Silver and Gold."

"Do I get the job, Webber?" Fonzie asked as Joanie and Chachi continued on giggling.

Fonzie looked at his younger cousin and Richie's younger sister who were busy laughing.

"Yes, you do get the job, Fonz. You're hired," Potsie said.

That's when Joanie and Chachi finally stopped laughing. They couldn't believe their ears. Chachi did know Joanie was right Fonzie would step in for Potsie on Christmas Eve night.

"How did you know, Joanie?" Chachi whispered.

Joanie shrugged.

"What songs am I going to perform for your Christmas audience, Webber?" Fonzie asked.

"I'll give you a list later, Fonz. I need to tell Tom the show is still on," Potsie said.

"Who's Tom?" Chachi asked.

"My manager. He's been my manager since I became a country singer."

"Potsie's right. Tom goes way back in the beginning," Joanie told the cousins.

"Wow," Chachi said.
