Today's album is one of my mom's. As I've mentioned before, I have my mom to thank for my love and appreciation of music - especially the type I post here. My family was big on Lawrence Welk, too. We would watch it every Saturday evening (the only other choice was "Hee Haw" - yuck). They show old episodes on various PBS stations, but I'd really like it if the show went to DVD. I'd certainly buy it! Well, my mom got this album in February 1957 - she wrote that across the back (I don't know why she had a habit of doing that). It's an album of medleys, all except the last one are fox trot medleys; the last one is a waltz medley. So, if you know how to fox trot or waltz - or you need to practice - just download this album!

Actually, your mom was very wise. In those days, recording or publishing dates were rarely stated in the liner notes and now I often have great difficulty in ascertaining this info when acquiring on obscure old LP.
Excellent choice!
Thank you for the Lawrence Welk post, I have been a fan for years. Living in Los Angeles many years ago, I was able to attend a few tapings of the shows. This post is "Wunnerful, wunnerful"!
I've been buying old vinyl for a while, gearing up to start my own sharity blog. I can't say I'm a huge Welk fan, but I watched the Welk show about every Saturday with my Mother thru my high school years. I've found quite a bit of Lawrence Welk and the Musical Family at thrift shops and when I get the blog going, there will probably be a Welk feature now and then. I have albums on Coral, Dot, Mercury Wing and Ranwood. Lawrence and Company put out lots of product for the fans.
