Only Welk performance I am familiar with. Funny as hell when you think of the typical Welk audience.
VIDEO
Funniest part is Welk calling it a "Spiritual".
Hey, it did contain the words "Sweet Jesus".

It was awful. Worse even than the Barbara Mandrel show....
If she had done her show nekkid you'd be howling at the moon over her.

Many here probably remember him, but are unaware that he had two daughters: Anna 1, Anna 2.
(Groan!!!)
That one took me a moment. My grandparents used to watch him faithfully every Saturday evening Bubbles and polka music. Torture for us kids.

Had two choices with Nana when Guiding Light came you had to go outside play with the ants or take a nap But just STFU hard to sleep all hopped up on red Kool-Aid, rainy days you were screwed. Whatever you do, don’t pet the dog. He’ll hump your leg with a fury.

Whew... I thought this was going to be another Jimmy Olson scoop that Lawrence Welk had passed away.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Actually I just remembered he was from ND.
Hey, I've passed thru his home town in the Southern part of Norda Koda... right near the Souda Koda state line... many times...
and then near Temecula CA, south of I 15, on old US 395, there is still an entire Retirement Village founded by Lawrence Welk, for all his faithful fans...
The town is named for Whatever "Golden Valley" is in Spanish/ Mexican....
Anyone remember "Sing Along with Mitch Miller".... another one of those time period shows, we'd sit and watch with our folks on prime time..
When in even large metro areas, you had like 3 channels available on the TV....
I miss those 'simpler" times.... when we put communism into perspective....
heck, I still even miss the good old Family 56 Chevy.....

Still wondering how they ever came up with that name.
Actually, since we always just called it "The Cob", I thought that it should have been faced more along the lines of the Corn Palace in Mitchell.

Cobblestone walls, John, my first reelection of the place is being stuck in the huge parking lot. That's all trees now. They must have torn off the top floor. Living quarters, and the Circus lounge.
