Lawrence Welk Tribute 1903-1992 I've Told Every Little Star

[GooglFascists]

One of the great things about Lawrence Welk was he enjoyed

music immensely. In his biography titled: "Ah One & Ah Two",

(which is worth a read), it tells a story from Welk's early days.

Lawrence had been a farm boy, then learned the accordion

to make extra money playing for local dances. His strict

parents disagreed, but Lawrence was so thrilled by it

he formed his own band.

After one gig the band threatened to walk off because

Lawrence "bounced around so much", he embarrassed

them!

Whose version of Bubbles In the Wine

recreation.

All praise to LW. He seeked out real talent and did not allow the cult of celebrity worship like we do today. We need another LW real bad.
