Wow! I've been watching as many Lawrence Welk shows that I can find particularly the ones from the 1950s. Thankyou so much for posting them on UA-cam. So much talent. These singers can do anything, play anything and sing great. The Lennon Sisters, incredible. Compare these shows to the absolute crap we get now with talentless narcissists.
Fun Fact: if you watch carefully when L. W. is playing his accordion, you'll notice he doesn't use his left hand fingers on any of the buttons.. reason: he never learned how.
Here it looks like he is using his left hand starting at the 9:17 mark or so. Usually when on camera playing the accordian he's positioned to to favor his right side and you can see his left hand is not being used. But here sure looks like he's playing the buttons. lol
@@kenqwe04. On occasion, Myron Floren did the same thing, depending on what the band was playing. But Lawrence rarely played his bass keys. Sometimes, both were harmonizing with the band, using treble keys only. On this number on this show, Lawrence did play his bass

Well said. Glad you like.
Only good music left to watch
Glad you like.
This is real pure music.
Glad you like it.
This was American innocence back in the day, folks. I feel sorry for those missed it, but at least you can see what it was like.
Isn't great to see these shows again.
I hope you mean "Isn't IT great......." ha,ha

In this period, the Lawrence Welk Orchestra was in its' prime.
