Are you a Welkie??

I was switching up channels, and stumbled across The Lawrence Welk Show!  If you were a kid in the 60s or 70s, you might have watched this with your parents on a Saturday night - I know I did.

When I tuned in, his band was playing Glenn Miller's "In The Mood", one of my all time fav songs!  Ok, I can do this, I will watch and remember the good times, the good music, and gawk at the lovely leisure suits and long gowns!

It reminds me of a story my Grandpa told:  He was coming home from a dance at Four Corners, when he came across a car stuck in the ditch.  Being a farmer, having a farmer's way ... of course he stopped to give a hand, pull the vehicle out of the ditch and offer any other kind of help he could give.  To his surprise, it was Lawrence Welk!   hehehehe

I know I'm a Welkie...... are you???

Goodnight, sleep tight, and pleasant dreams to you

Here's a wish and a prayer that every dream comes true

And now 'til we meet again

Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehn
