Me again. Just curious, but where'd you get the music? And an amatuer organist (I'm not sure if I spelled that correctly), I want to know where you got the music for that. It's a lovely piece, my absolute favorite.
Some of the registrations sound like Lenny Dee. I once had a band and we did a Lawrence Welk medley with our singer blowing bubbles from a jar--we stopped after one time due to the mess.
What are you using for reverb? Sounds like a Schober Reverb-a-Tape. I have a dozen A-100's, and none of them sound like that LOL! Nice style, by the way - much like some of Ken Griffin's arrangements.
Very nice rendition... I've been watching Lawrence Welk clips all week... Brings back memories. I really didn't (or couldn't) appreciate how entertaining that show was as a kid!
Interesting to note that Mr. Ralston played a Thomas on screen but the audio came from a Hammond. Bob was a paid Thomas celebrity but the Hammond sound was preferred. All Welk shows were videoed first with casual audio. Better sound was then recorded and synched in a separate studio. This made for higher quality.
Thank-a u Steve-a - I saw a little of the Welk show the other day. They mentioned that Bob Ralston was playing a new organ. It was a Hammond but I am not sure what model. It looked a little like a Concorde but had a row of push button presets below the upper and lower key boards. This was a later show so I assume it replaced the Thomas. I never knew they went back to a Hammond.
Amazing!!!

what's the name of the song in the closing credits of the show? That goodnight song?
oyioyioi 3 years ago
The closing theme was a medley of 'Good Night Ladies,' 'Hope You Had a Happy Time' (to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb) and 'Bubbles in the Wine.'

The good night sone that was the final closing theme LW used from the 70's on was "Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Weidersein."

Love that sense of humor & your style! I never get tired of listening or watching.
Didn't the keys get a little slippery though?

They went back to Hammond, using an Aurora Classic in the band, and an Elegante for solos.
