This takes me back when I was a kid visiting my grand parents, the LAWRENCE'S.

@MrMegaFredzeppelin That's amazing. I bet you folks have had some fun with that over the years. Thanks for watching and do come back soon. Charlie

Less than a week before this aired, on Sept. 5, I saw the orchestra in performance at Boston Garden. This was the first of three occasions on which I saw the full orchestra. This is the way I like to remember the band ... from the early 1970s, when Bobby & Cissy, Sandi & Sally, Norman Bailey, Buddy Merrill, Johnny Klein, etc., were all still with the show.

This video could also be labeled "Lawrence Welk: Hair". From Gail, to Ralna, to Tonya, hair abounds. I'd also like to know what sort of product you use when polishing the sun? ;)

God bless,

It's the intro for the newly syndicated revival of The Lawrence Welk Show. First aired on 9/11/71. just 2 months after ABC cancelled the show after 16 seasons. The show stayed on the air until 1982. Today reruns of the show can still be seen on PBS.

@yogafan6500 You're telling me. I think the song was more for the affiliates and Don Fedderson Productions.
