Lawrence Welk will always have this (strange) soft spot in my heart. My grandma used to watch me on Saturday nights (I think Saturday), and she would watch Lawrence Welk. As a kid , I couldn't stand it. Now it warms my heart.

67? She is only twelve years older than me. Just a kid.

Same with me. My parents would switch on LW......and I would leave the room. Now, I actually enjoy it as it was such a simpler time and place in our country. I miss it dearly. Now it’s gone.

You are just a mere baby. Lawrence Welk was one of two TV programs my parents would permit us to watch when I was a teen. Very religious household and although dancing wasn’t permitted she loved to watch the couple that danced on his show each week (Bobby and ???). The only other show we watched was on Sunday night after church - Amos and Andy. Interesting combination.

Lynn Anderson and Rose Garden brings back lots of memories from my growing up years.

Yep it was Saturday. We are a year apart and my grandma too kept me me on Saturday nights. We were in such hurry to grow up and not need grandma to watch us. What I wouldn’t give for one more night in front of a tiny b/w set watching Lawrence Welk (ha had to tell Google that word) with my grandma eating popcorn balls.

I was 8 when Rose Garden came out.

I remember seeing her on tv.
I also seem to remember having kind of a crush on her.
