Those sissies today with their remotes just don't have any concept of what we went through just to watch TV. Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Sometimes mom would let us stay over on a Friday night so we could watch cartoons Saturday morning. My grandparents did like to watch Lawrence Welk and Hee Haw.

My mom was a big Lawrence Welk fan. She even played his records on our Magnavox stereo console. Sometimes things went a little haywire on the show. Wag more, bark less. The freedoms we surrender today will be the freedoms our grandchildren will never know existed.

I got tired of telling them to stop. Turned it off, unplugged it, and cut the cord off at the casing. It was that way for about three years during which they learned to play together, by themselves, or read, etc. It gave me more peace all the way around. Momma was happier too. Be Well, RZ.

I think that was the correct order. Welk was on Saturdays. Mostly. "Maybe we're all happy." "Go to the sporting goods store. From the files, obtain form 4473.

Guess they sucked it up for the exposure, for whatever that was worth on that gay ass show. I don't know what they were paid per show - but they were getting union scale or better and it was 1971 - so how many hours did they work for that $110 ? NRA Member - Life, Benefactor, Patron
