I wish i was there to see him play and the good people happy and clean

I prefer to see Lawrence Welk when he dressed simply and with dignity. When there was that "down home" feel (such as featured here) before his show went into syndication.

He's from No. Dakota and a German-Russian (just like me). Only difference, is: He was raised Catholic and I was raised Protestant.

How did Floren create those sustained notes from 1:05 to 1:11? Any ideas? That's unique...haven't heard another rendition of it like that. I like the dotted rhythm too...very peppy.

That's not Fern dancing with Lawrence. Fern was a tall woman.  Sorry tvcollector71.

Great played! pretty much like hambo dancing, the rythm :)

[romeman01]

I defer to tvcollector71 on that, however, I would concur that she does look too old for 1956, although this woman is the right size for Fern. However, my own comments stand irrespective of that. :-)

[GayAsianLover]

I dont believe that is Fern, she is too old for 1956 and all white hair.
