I remember my mom curling my hair every Sat. nite while we all watched the show. My daughter's nickname is "Tiny Bubbles" like the Don Ho song. She was not amused until one night when we were watching The Lawrence Welk show (yes, the only child her age who knows the show probably) and the cast started singing "Tiny Bubbles". She doesn't complain about the name now that she knows she has her own song! ha-ha. Have a great day Steve. Blessings - Judith
Yes, My Dad and Mom loved that show and watched every week. Us kids watched along too, but back then wasn't our cup of tea, but like you said, as we got older, i can apprciate those old shows, brings back good memories. I remember a lot of the performers on the show too. Remember Arthur Duncan, he was a african american gentlemen that was a great tap dancer. So many on there. Thanks for this video.
I am humbled by your tenacity to drive the long distances. Your videos not only serve to inform us about the topic presented, but also show how much change has occurred with respect to societal tastes and values. The Lawrence Welk Show was a wonderful show from a simpler, arguably better, time. Thank you so much for keeping these memories alive. Stay safe.
I remember watching Lawrence Welk on Saturday evenings at my Grandmother's house back in the day. I can't watch the show now without crying. Wishing for just one more day with the grandparents.
Another trip down memory lane with Steve! Awesome memories from Saturday night with my Gram..she loved the show! I still enjoy it today on PBS..Thanks Steve,made me feel young again,even if it was for only ten minutes..till next video.
My mom (RIP) and I watched this together. It was her favorite show. My favorites were the Christmas shows where the entertainers would introduce their family members.
Brings back great memories, sitting with my folks, listening and watching the show...Enjoyed seeing emerging stars, such as Lynn Anderson and so on. Thanks Steve for another great vlog.
Mr Lawrence Welk had a great life and will always be remembered; growing up we ofcourse watched his program on TV, as my parents instilled music in us and I really love the big bands to this very day ~
I remember the Lawrence welk show very well! Every Saturday night it was hee-haw Lawrence welk,then liberace. Watched those shows for many years....another good one Steve! 👍👍🙂🙂
My Parents loved Lawerence Welk. Since we had only 1 tv, at 6 pm every Sunday we would sit and watch show with them. This is where I got my love for Big Band music and Ragtime music. My Parents used to dance to a song or two every once in a while. They were beautiful dancers. Thanks for the walk down Memory Lane!
To make it short and sweet I appreciate Lawrence Lawrence Welk of what he is or what The Lawrence Welk Show is very entertaining and whole and I enjoyed watching Lawrence Welk when I was a kid with my parents
Wow, what great music they played. I watched the Lawence Welk show on every visit to my grandma's house. It was an awesome memory from my childhood. The Lennon Sisters were my favorite guest group. Thanks Steve for the memories!! 🙂
I watched to show almost every week with my parents in the 1970's. If you happened to be in a rest home on a Saturday evening, many of the TVs will be tuned to the Lawrence Welk Show reruns on the PBS Network.
My grandfather loved the Lawrence welk show I remember watching the show. With him in the 80s on p.b s in reruns thanks for the video Steve. a onea Ana twoa
I only remember about 5 performers from the show. The dancers Bobby and Cissy come to mind. and the token black guy dancer. My Dad loved the show and watched religously. It's nice he's still on TV. Timeless music and entertainment. Thanks Steve, another goodie.
As a young chap back in the 60's. I remember my Grandparents watching him. The most interesting part of the show, at least to me, was all of the bubbles that would fly up behind the band. Back then, Batman, Combat and Capt. Kangaroo were my shows.
Yes, I remember watching the Lawrence Welk show. TV was so different back then, those shows were for the whole family. Thank you so much for for all that you do. God bless you and safe travels💕 Have a great weekend 😁
Can you imagine your grandparents watching an episode of 90 Day fiancee or a Housewives of NJ or Atlanta with all the sex and cussing. On I love Lucy when they were in the bed they had to keep a foot on the floor. I wouldn't want those restrictions today but I would love some sense of decency in these shows or see them off the air all together.
I was five years old and watch The Lawrence Welk Show all the time with my mom and dad it was the best thing and yes the bubbly it was great hello I'm Lawrence Welk
Used to watch every week with my parents in the 60s and 70s. My favorites were the Christmas and Halloween shows. Arthur Duncan, Ava Barber, Jo Ann Castle.
Good night .sleep tight.and pleasant dreams to you...here's a wish and a prayer that every dream cones true and. Now til we meet again ADIOS.AU REVOIR.AUF WIEDERSEN GOOD NIGHT!😘
I'm glad you wrote it, I could see the bubble machine and hear the song, watching my grandparents watching the show, me waiting for the Walton's to come on then grizzly Adams
Bobby Burgess has been a longtime friend. I recall him sharing the story of Mr. Welk's burial service, the Welk show family gathered around his casket at the cemetery and sang the familiar song that closed out the show each week. "Good night, sleep tight, and pleasant dreams to you, here's a wish and a prayer that every dream come true. And now, till we meet again, adios, au revoir, auf weidersehen. Goodnight!" I always thought that was a perfect send off for him. Bob has always said when Lawrence Welk hired him for his show, he knew he was perfect for the job because he'd been raised by Walt Disney.
Mama made me watch the show and now I'm glad that she did. I forgot to mention that I've been a member of Findagrave for many years. Greg Hall. Thanks Steve
Hey Steve you handsome devil you. I remember going over to my grandmother Majewski house on a Sunday and watching Lawrence on TV. As I got much older I started watching him. Kids now a days wouldn't even consider watching re runs of this.
Somehow I missed this one back in November! I remember every Saturday night, watching Lawrence Welk, dancing around the livingroom with my father. The names still roll off my tongue like family members--Myron Floren, Joe Feeney, Joanne Castle, Bobby and Sissy, Norma Zimmer (the Champagne Lady), I could go on and on. Thanks for the memory!!
I was blessed to have my greatgrandparents play a huge role in my first 18 years of my life. My great-grandfather was born in 1911 and grandmother in 1915. I was born In 81 and don't remember the show. But I do recall my greatgrandparents talking about this show. Thanks!!!
That was fun Steve,and yes I remember the show,my parents used to watch it every Sunday,I remember them dancing in the living room a few times, I also had a couple of dances with my dad, great memories,thanks so much!! Well you have yourself a great Thanksgiving Steve,until next time,be safe out there!!
I was raised on Lawrence Welk and loved his music and show even when I was a teen, I would often put off joining my friends at Church Youth Hut till after the Lawrence Welk Show.. TY for sharing with us. Take care on your travels.
When I was 5 , I stayed with my great grandparents. We watched Lawrence Welk every Saturday night. I still watch it every now and again on PBS. As a family we took our kids to see Lawrence Welk home in Strasburg ND
When I was a kid I used to watch this show with my grandparents I love The Lawrence Welk Show thank you for doing this and all the other shows ❤ from new jersey 🙏🏿
My grandmother and I shared this show together from my child hood through adult hood. She would gently away back and forth and tap her fingers in time to the band music , and marvelled at the dancing we also shared love of bonanza ( the Cartwright family ) her fav , she would scoot her chair right up to the tv screen so she could see ( she lost a good portion of her sight as she was the first female film editor I'm Hollywood . Editing in those days ment hours of staring at film as a bright light benith the film was glaring into her eyes , she never complained she loved it . ) You did not get film credit in those days she worked on 100s of silent films she had box's full of old film clips ( hence the name cutting room floor . )Lol she could cut your only scene from a move with the clip of her scissors , and she did, she said with a chuckle she saved several carers by doing so . Her other fav we shared was the wonderful world of Disney wow great loving sweet memory. Keep up the great videos , you trigger so many memories of times gone by , and of missed loved ones bless you keep it up respects John in ca.
I watched the show with my grandma. She loved him. For years after that I didn’t care. As I got older I started watching it on PBS. I still watch it. Brings back good memories.
When we lived in Atlanta, GA in the 1950's & 60's my father's parents lived with us. The only TV we had was in the living room & whenever "The Lawrence Welk Show" came on, no one would not dare say a word or enter the room, as they would get a big "shush". After we moved from Atlanta in 1964, my grandfather had died & my grandmother moved in with two of her daughter's. My father continued to watch that show & eventually watched the reruns on a PBS station. Thanks for reviving those memories, Steve, as my grandmother passed in December 1977 & my father in October 2004.
Saturday night, popcorn and Lawrence Welk! You just took me back 60 years and so many memories of those not here. I am Thankful for you and your quality work. Happy Thanksgiving, friend. :)))
Liked the Lawrence Welk Show. It was family themed and our whole family would gather every week to watch it. There were so many talented musicians and singers, it is hard for me to pick one.
Great Video Steve! I watched The Lawrence Welk show when it originally aired back in the late 1950s with my parents and grandparents. I then started watching it on PBS as its still being aired! Great memories, thanks again!
One show, his band was to play the Duke Ellington composition, "Take the A train". Welk, in his accented English, announced it as "Take a train", Very amusing.
Hi Steve glad to see your weather is better than ours in the UK its tipping down with rain here so you bought us a bit of sunshine in your video love the video Steve thank you
My precious grandmother watched his show I can barely remember. Thank you for bringing that memory back to me. I miss her so very much! I truly enjoy your videos, they are so educational! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Remember the Geretol ads. Pete Fountain got his start on the show. Remember that wig Pete Fountain used to wear, brutal. Man could he play, one of the all time greats .Up there with Benny, Artie and Woody.
Yes, part of growing up was watching the Lawrence Welk show. Very much tied to 60’s childhood memories. Thank you for taking the time to make these visits and share information. You give us an excellent tour of these sites.
I like Lawrence well, I like rap and hip-hop and R&B but I grew up watching Lawrence Welk my grandparents I appreciate what it is a good wholesome family show which they don't have anymore I think and I wish they would bring stuff back you know and I also miss the 80s
Thanks for this upload, who could ever forget Welk's delightful accent? you'd think he was born in Germany and not in Strasburg, ND to immigrant parents.
I had to watch every Saturday, only few choices, and one tv in the 60's, so the adults won! I remember the lady who played the piano! In the summer, we would go to an amusement park between New Beford and Fall River in MA, called Lincoln Park!! They had stage shows, that were free, and I actually saw her in person. I now cherish these times, because my Dad died when I was 11.
When we first go cable we watched "The Mickey Mouse Club" ( the original) and " Lawrence Welk". Our young daughter was told that the Booby on Mickey was the ssme Bobby on Welk...to which she replied ," oh no...one Bobby is in gray ( black and white) and the other is in color...we finally convinced her they were really the same person...🦋⭐⭐🦋🌟🌟🌟🎶🎶🌟🌟
My favorite Mills Brothers song was love and my favorite singer on Lawrence Welk was Larry Hooper I love his deep voice. I miss some of your videos so I’m catching up with them
I was raised on this show. Loved the reruns of the show and the later reunion shows. Welk's band combined orchestra with instruments found in jazz groups and country music(he rocked and rolled too along with singing church standards).
Being an accordionist, I enjoyed watching Lawrence Welk and Myron Florin perform. Thanks for another great video, Steve. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving! ~ Vince, aka CapnHawk.
I grew up watching the reruns with my grandparents on pbs in the early and mid 2000s my grandparents loved Lawrence welk it would be on at 6pm every night they never missed a episode i use to love watching the bubbles as a kid i would sit with my grandma on the couch and she would show me the bubbles whenever Lawrence welk came on stage i still watch clips of the show on RU-vid it brings back childhood memories growing up in the early and mid 2000s 😊
I still watch the Lawrence Welk show on weekends here in San Diego. My faves have to be Ken Delo, Anacani and Bobby Bridges. The Lennon Sisters were amazing too.
