I remember Lawrence Welk. Nothing wrong with appreciating nice music and a wholesome theme. I was fairly young back then so at the time it wasn't my style.....but I could watch it now.
VVR,Gon, it's really weird.
San Diego is the place to go.Why don't you just get a pair of white shoes, move down to Miami and get this whole thing over with?
In my opinion we treat our elderly very poorly in the U.S. In many countries families take care of them in the home....but here we often relegate them to an assisted living facility.Memories....
I ain't no LW. Fan but as a young kid like 7 years old I used to sit with my lonely widow neighbor who was all alone and over 85 then.
We watched it and she treated me like gold.
I still remember that kind soul.
My neighbor just turned 80 and he told me he is at the age where nobody cares or even tried too. I get it and that is why I sat with the lady above.
Today you can be in that same boat at half the age.
even that is better than it used to be.... Mom's told the story of her family driving cross country in the mid-late 50's, (Her Parents were Missionaries, they were coming back from "the Field" came across Europe, flew into New York, where someone from the Church had arraigned a car for them to drive across the US back home to ID)In my opinion we treat our elderly very poorly in the U.S. In many countries families take care of them in the home....but here we often relegate them to an assisted living facility.
Best song ever on LW:
I'm so turned off by any new movies or TV shows. No storyline, no cohesian.Maybe it is a yerning for America of old, or a escape from today's music, but early on Sunday mornings in the Winter, I enjoy watching Lawrence Welk videos on youtube. If this was summer, I would be outside doing something before church.
Lawrence Welk (March 11, 1903 – May 17, 1992) was an American accordionist, bandleader, and television impresario, who hosted the The Lawrence Welk Show from 1951 to 1982. His style came to be known as "champagne music" to his radio, television, and live-performance audiences.
Welk was born in the German-speaking community of Strasburg, North Dakota. He was sixth of the eight children of Ludwig and Christiana (née Schwahn) Welk, Roman Catholic ethnic Germans who emigrated in 1892 from Odessa, Russian Empire (now Ukraine).
Maybe some of us long for our youth, or a time of more "work hard and then relax some". I don't know, but I do enjoy Mr. Welk's shows on youtube. A little piece of positiveness, rest and relaxation in today's world.
