"A one and a two and...hey! Start the bubble machine".
I think it was the lennon sisters.We watched Lawrence Welk, because we had one channel. I liked the Lemmon Sisters (sp), they sang great and were pretty.
This first one is colorized and shows Mr Welk having more fun than he shouldLawrence Welk was tough to watch as a kid. I especially remember the polka music, that Welk loved, and he really had fun with that. Someday I'll find a clip.
The original show was Saturday night, I think at 7:00pm and old folks planned their day to get ready for it.
I never cared for them, but do remember hearing one of the brothers lament that while nearly every band at the time did disco, that is what people remember the BeeGees for. I understand just what he was saying... heck even KISS had a song with that disco beat.That sir, is actually a perfect way of explaining it, at least for myself. It actually makes sense. People tend to forget they were out before the mid 70's. Rap and Disco are the two genres I really can't get into. I had a love hate relationship with the Bee Gees LOL

Wife and I requested a polka band for our wedding back in 1985. Too much fun! You get a few hundred people out there to In Heaven There Is No Beer and that's a party.Come to think of it, perhaps that's why my family liked the Larwence Welk show. We ALWAYS had polka's at family weddings LOL Seemed polkas were a way of life back then for both sides of my parents family.
