Great clip. THANKS!!!!!! My parents made us watch Lawrence Welk when we were so little. Now I watch it on YouTube. Love the music unlike the CRAP my kids listen to today.
Eddie used to come over and jam with my grandfather, I remember sitting in the living room and listening to their jams on a reel to reel...I showed some of these to my father, and he was moved, and told me about the last time he saw Eddie before he passed, they sat in the bar talking music and the old man was proud to say he was buying beers for Eddie Peabody.....great man, great musician.
You wouldn't happen to have/know where to find the Colour Episode of the Lawrence Welk show where Eddie Peabody plays a rather animated rendition of 'St. Louis Blues' by any chance, would you?
THIS SONG IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF S.M. KERN--THE BANJO MAN. FROM HIS GRANDSON

Do you have the Connie Francis appearance on the Welk show? She was a guest performer in fall 1963.

Eddie leaves no doubt as to why he was dubbed the "Banjo King". Nice to see the L.W. guitar guys sitting in on banjos - three remarkable talents.
