If you still have your teeth, and most of your hair strands intact, and thrive on this wunnerfully hokey show then don’t be all too ashamed, or amazed, at your peculiar tastes. The majority of the younger generation of today would consider the show, and the music being played, old people’s entertainment but strangely, these “old people” watching the show today were young people forty years ago who lamented the same fact. Welk’s music has a lilting quality that is delightfully light and bubbly and – almost – tickles your nose. It featured dancing, singing and plenty of band music in all forms: big band, jive, jazz, country, polka, Latin, pop, gospel and, of course, champagne music. The Lawrence Welk Show was one of the longest running variety shows on television, running for 27 years and still airing today on PBS.
