Lawrence Welk..................

Services for Real Estate Pros with Referral Group Incorporated

Wonderful,wonderful...........I remember listening to that voice say this when I was a kid. My parents always watched the Lawrence Welk Show. If you are too young to remember this, Lawrence was an old guy who had an orchestra, played the accordion and had a weekly variety show. He was a good dancer too and often danced the polka with one of his supporter people.

Those were the days when life was easy, uncomplicated and made sense. I am thinking about this now because I am yearning for better times and familiar people. The Lawrence Welk show is on PBS re-runs and I watch and remember when I see it. I am missing my folks a lot these days. Oh how I wish, I could pick up the phone and hear their voices. Alas I can not, but I am calling many folks I haven't spoken to in some time.

Time to think is a luxury I haven't enjoyed in some time. Now I have the time to remember the best and straddle the rest. Have a good day.

I think that was the show with the Lennon Sisters. I do remember my sister and I teasing my parents about it, but we were pretty young and probably didn't appreciate it like we should.

Not an old fart at all. :)  My sis just turned 70, so there you go.  Maybe immature would have been a better word. Lol.

Hi Sheila - that was my grandmother's show on Saturday nights.  I remember the Lennon Sisters and the show was sponsored by Dodge Autos.

Sheila,

Lawrence Welk built a beautiful multi-storied office building with a lovely view of the ocean in Santa Monica.  Our company placed an entertainment company in that building.  

My grandfather thought that Lawrence Welk was the bees knees...He would tune in to the show when he and my grandmother lived with my parents...I would be in my room upstairs reading...A

Like Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS  I remember a-one and a-two! I'm sure Lawrence Welk is the reason accordions became popular in the late 1950s -- I took lessons!
