When I was young, my parents had a Lawrence Welk club of about 6 couples. Every Saturday Night they would gather at one of their houses, have a big pot luck dinner--and then everything stopped for one hour as they all watched the show. During the commercials they would share Welk trivia. They are all gone now, but those were happy times. I am glad I was able to witness them.

52 years later. The polka is still good. Some of us young folk don't like the rap music. Prefer this any day of the week

If this type of music was still being made & listen to, the world as we know it today would not be in such a sad state!

Grew up on polka music

This is the music I grew up with!!! When I was little, my day would play this song on his accordian. Really brings back memories.

You have to hand it to Lawrence Welk he sure enjoyed his work. And brought so much to so many.

Polka is way better than any music we hear on radios.

Wholesome music for Families for all.Exellent Show.A golden times And memories so on.

What treat to hear these three great talents !!!!!

All r just too good n keep us dancing away with d lovely music.

I get on good moods when watching this. People seem to enjoying playing genuine instruments, not computer dead tunes.

Go to Walt Disney World every week, and at Magic Kingdom, Caseys Corner is the Piano players and they take requests I always ask for Lawrence Welk they know him well. About 2 months ago i requested Jo Anne Castle and they played her it was wonderful.

Snappy, real snappy!!!! NH

What great musicians these 3 are, they look quite happy too!

You can certainly tell that they are enjoying themselves-!! I saw Myron Floren in person, many years ago- and he was a VERY charming person!

Joanne is so talented. Great on piano or accordion. Can sing as well. She was superb in skits they did on the show.

Very nice musicall

Joanne Castle is doing all the work.

@@Rbigraff - She really was. Floren was a great musician. But Jo Ann was just in a class by herself. At one point, Floren went to Mr. Welk and said... "You need to decide who's going to be the accordion player on this show." and from that point he featured Castle mostly on piano.

Joann and Myron, I missed this one!

Actually Richard Maloof on the Tuba makes this song. He did great!

Great vid. Thanks for posting. Boots Randolph once said that every time he played "Yackety Sax" it almost killed him. I would imagine that this tuba player would almost feel the same way after so long, especially playing that fast.

Why they don't make good music like that any more?

Because they can’t. Find me a bass player who can play string bass, electric bass, and tuba equally well. Find me guitar players who can also play banjo or electric mandolin or steel guitar. Find me woodwind players who can double on flute or clarinet without treating it like another saxophone. Find me accordion players who can play that accurately that fast. Find me a tenor singer who can sing as majestically as Joe Feeny. Find me a tap dancer like Arthur Duncan. Find me a guy who can sing, dance, tap, and play percussion like Jack Imel did. People just can’t do all that shit anymore. That’s what it is.

Super talents!

Myron was such a good sport.😁

Irresistible...

Nice Holton tuba he's got there. My 6/4 tuba was based off that model he's using.

That tuba is either silver or nickel. Once you start polishing it. It will turn black in days. I have a silver bari sax and I spoke with a jeweler about polishing it, his recommendation was to leave it alone, BTW my sax is a copy write 1917, American made.

Very nice. There's also a fun version by Weird Al Yankovic and Frank Yankovic.

Looks like he must have been playing that tuba down a coal mine

What

Look at Jo Ann Castle's face.. you can see the start of her alcoholism is just beginning to take it's toll... she really had to pile on the makeup to try and hide it, but, didn't really work too well. It's a shame she let booze run her life for so long.. hope she's booze-free at this point in her life.

Shut off music 😂🎉😢
