The Lawrence Welk Show: My 3 Sons

[ishouldplayzelda]

when 2 great shows intersect... this is what you get.

[footshaman]

No! William Frawley's (Fred Mertz) Character was called Bub.

[ch1aka2]

@spazzcat03 There were two Uncle Charley's and one was Fred Mertz.

[OldMrMemories]

I would have loved to see Uncle Charley rockin out on the dance floor to this. Good old Uncle Charley. He was always pissy and in a bad mood.

[eyesopenuw]

was this the same show as Calcutta? their first appearance?

[ElCriticon82]

Kind of catchy, but definately pure Welk. I didn't know you could dance to My Three Sons.

[frankd1965]

Better with a saxaphone

Johnny Crawford (b.1946) was also one of the original Mousketeers, but left to join the cast of "The Rifleman." Johnny, who now has a southern California dance band, was brought up in a singing-dancing family...

[Soapking1965]

Paul Peterson (THE DONNA REED SHOW) was also a mouseketeer. He was dismissed after the first season.

[zekepig]

Wasn't Welk digging deep into the barrel for this one?

[heyboy56]

zekepig: This arrangement of a then-popular theme stylistically fit in with their number one cha-cha hit "Calcutta", and gave "a-Bobby an' a-Barbara" a good dance tune.

[Robert4770]

@zekepig He released an album with this as the title track for Dot.

[turbo1964]

WOW - Is this on MP3 anywhere?

[teebeesea]

Jack Dumont was another great sideman of Welk who was not well known to the general public. He was later part of the wonderful jazz group called The Hollywood Saxophone Quartet. Other Welk videos show his talent off to better effect, e.g. Dark Eyes, The Hour of Parting.

I can't stand Bobby Burgess. He makes me ill. Annette Funicello, Darlene Gillespie, Barbara Boylin and Cissy King, I can't find one decent dance partner and he's had four of the most talented partners in dance history.

Yes people, I'm green with envy, I'd trade everything I own for one dance with his partners, they are pearls of great price that have never been topped.

This is so nice! I have been waiting for someone to post this video again for a year! Do you by any chance have Joann Castle when she plays, "The Painter's Rag" do you? It was when she was first made a member. thanks so much and I will definitely subscribe!

[rmsjrb]

My fatherrrr plays this Dot 45 record all the time

I like this song

it is KilleRRRRRRRRR

[donnaoday]

Great little number. If that's the Bobby I'm thinking of, he was on the Mickey Mouse Club when Don Grady of My Three Sons was also on.

[alwrig]

Yes, that is Bobby Burgess, whose tenure on MMC lasted much longer than that of Don Agrati (real name).

[JiggyHo]

Don Grady was a Mouseketeer? I didn't know that!

[RoyFive]

Yeah. He went by his real name "Agrati." Some more trivia: He was the mysterious drummer with the band Yellow Balloon (who did a song by the same name) on American Bandstand in 1967.
