Kids weren't on the Welk Show Christmas specials after they hit 12 bec he didn't want to pay them as required by law. So, when you saw performers' children disappear, it was cuz they hit 12 yrs old. I have a lot on Lawrence Welk Show (sat on LW's lap when I was 5 at a Welk daytime bash-party).
The songs on Lawrence Welk were often really old so he wouldn't have to pay for copyright use.
He was a major cheapskate and was obsessive compulsive control freak.
Their fans on PBS have no idea that most of the band is deceased.
Dick Dale saved me from drowning in his kidney shaped pool when I was 5 or 6. I was hanging on to the side of the pool and my arms slipped. I was seriously drowning and he pulled me out and saved my life. Thank u, Dick Dale who is still alive.
I don’t know who Dick Dale is, but I’m sure glad he saved your life!
John Boy helped me with my suitcases at the airport. Some stars are just nice people when no one is looking.
Yeah, but...tell us what we really want to know...did Lawrence fool around with all of his Champagne Ladies?
