I used to record the Lawrence Welk show back in the late 70's and early 80's over the air. At the time of this post, I have not seen this episode on Public Television. The program begins with the first song as there were a some issues when the VHS tape was captured. One of the things that interests me about this program is the way the audience is seated. The audience seems to be elevated and the cameras are below the seating.

That rendition of The Beer Barrel Polka at the end is kick butt flawless! You can see Jo Ann Castle just letting loose on that piano!

ANOTHER GREAT SHOW FOR MY LIST. THESE WONDERFULL STARS NEVER SEEM TO GROW OLD WITH NEW PERFORMANCES BEING ADDED ALL THE TIME. HEY MUST HAVE MEMORIES BY THE 100 + BRINGING IN DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENTS AS TNHEY GO ALONG THEIR MUSICAL JOURNEY. TREMENDOUS. I AM STILL A HAPPY OLD MAN WITH THE GREAT LIST I HAVE OF THEIR PERFORMANCES.(I AM 88 YEARS OLD BEING AN EX DANCE BAND MUSICIAN FROM THE LATE 40s 50s)

What did you play in your dance band. I used to play in a dance band (only 7 pieces) in the 70's, but we played mostly "stock" arrangements -- many arranged by Johnny Worthington.

HI, ROBERT, Trumpet was my instrument and as you I played in a 7 piece band in the late 40s and early 50s. I was enlisted in our Armed Forces. En route to Hong Kong an entertainment party was formed aboard our ship and I was invited to trasnfer to Members of the Regiment HQ on arrival in Hong Kong which I so did and on arrival went about forming a Entertainments party, mainly musicians in our large barracks. I was at that time promoted to Regimental Musical Director. We were very popular throughout the Colony even playing at Stanley Prison Officers Club on Hong Kong Island monthly.I must add that I had the time of my life. All in all these were great days in my life and now at 89 enjoy the Lawrence Welk SHOW WHICH GIVES ME A REMINDER OF THE BIG BAND DAYS.@@RobertGundlachMusic

@@walterbatch5296 What wonderful experiences you have had! Thanks for sharing them!

@walterbatch5296 2 года назад

Another excellent rendition form Gail, Ron and Micheal. They are such great harmonisers, superb singing loved every minute. I have not mentioned Anaconi before but must simply say, absolutely one word GREAT. I love her songs in Spanish and gels so well with the boys of the band.

This is one of two holy grails for me (the other one was unearthed a couple of years ago on RU-vid)--have been looking for this episode for years. Not only did PBS never rerun it, but because it was the season premiere in 1980 it wasn't rerun the following summer. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Many thanks. I wish there was a streaming Lawrence Welk network!

You can tell Lawrence and Joanne had a good relationship and really enjoyed themselves here

Thank you for this fine, fine music. I have been following every Lawrence Welk post, and here's another classic. Smooth, relaxing and just, excellent!!!

Lawrence Welk had to perfect combination of musicans, singers and dancers.

My brother and I are the only caregivers for out mother who is 97 with advanced dementia. I had converted the shows from old VHS tapes to computer files about 15 years ago. I found that my mother is able to enjoy the shows even with her dementia.

@jeffreymartin2116 2 года назад

I feel sorry for your mother dementia can be very hard to deal with, so tell her I said I will be praying for her.

First show with the new blue set:)

@RobertGundlachMusic 2 года назад

As I watch the show over many times, it is so interesting how to see how the sets have changed over the years.

@jasonbennett3293 2 года назад

This is greatly appreciated. I'm writing a book on Bob Havens and it is excruciatingly frustrating that OETA (or anyone else for that matter) is not interested in licensing anymore new/old shows for rebroadcast. Seeing this is fascinating as Bob has some nice solos I'd never heard before. Please post more. Thank you!

@Lupton2000 2 года назад

That's really too bad. There are a lot of shows that haven't been shown on PBS in twenty years (Spotlight on our Musical Family and On Tour need a rebroadcast or a release on DVD or streaming, which I don't see happening).

@Traveler1965 2 года назад

Not sure it is all OETA’s fault. Larry Welk Jr has ownership of all shows, I believe, its really up to him and the Welk Group to release more shows for us, but there seems to be no willingness on their part to do so.

@jasonbennett3293 2 года назад

You're right, LWjr does own the shows. They should, at the very least, be digitally preserved.

@67leighton 2 года назад

Wonderful! I like seeing Jo Ann's one and only return after her 1969 departure. Fun episode. It's great that you have a few shows to post. Any chance you might have the 1967 "Crazy Rhythm" episode that aired in reruns in March of 1983?? that is a great one but hasn't been on since then (even though I wrote OETA a few times and asked!).

@RobertGundlachMusic 2 года назад

No I haven't seen this episode.

@Traveler1965 2 года назад

This show was out there on RU-vid, not sure how to find it, but I have seen it. Maybe it was removed

@chrispikal6996 2 года назад

Wunnerful Show. Thanks for posting. Do you have the next weeks show "Tis Autumn" ? This also never aired on PBS. Thanks much for this upload!!

Hi! Is it ok if I repost the clip of Jo Ann Castle playing on my channel? I’ll link this video and credit you in the description as the owner of the footage. If not, I completely understand.

@RobertGundlachMusic 2 года назад

This is fine.

Do you have any Lawrence Welk Shows from 1973, 1974, 1975, and 1976?

@RobertGundlachMusic 2 года назад

I didn't get a VCR until 1979. So I have some shows from 1979 and most all of the shows from 1980 until the end. I have found about 17 shows on RU-vid from the years that you mentioned.

@jeffreymartin2116 2 года назад

I would like to see the 27th Season Premiere, also Songs From The Classics from Season 27, Broadway Nostalgia from Season 26, and This Colorful World also from Season 26.
