I remember Lawrence Welk, I'm 70yrs now and this show was popular with my folks although once in awhile there was something special. This was one of those moments that the youngsters saw a guitar being played in an orchestra which was rarely seen back then.

So fun! Great old tune. The Outlaws have a rippin’ Southern Rock-style cover of this one, too. And yes, you, dear Adrian, are a hero for including the castanet machine. As for the Lawrence Welk Show, which dates back to the mid-50s, I remember watching that with my parents when I was really young. I remember the bubble machine, too!

The best part of this "lead guitar" part of the song, is that it wasn't part of the original song/recording in 1948. It's a later addition that emulates Stan's original vocal track, so it's easily adaptable by each player to best fit their own taste and skill level, i.e. - artistic license and interpretation.

I remember the Lawrence Welk Show! In my hometown it aired on Saturdays at 7:00pm, and Hee Haw (with Buck Owens and Roy Clark) was on another channel at the same time. This is pre-cable, and we probably got four channels total, so we ended up watching Hee Haw. I'm from Kentucky, so we leaned toward country music in our house.

The Lawrence Welk Show was kind of cool to us old guitar nerds.. lots of fender guitars and amps made their debut there.. as well as one offs for the various players. This one was done with a custom colored strat, I believe.. the show's popularity (mainstream) waned by the late 50's LOL... but 'underground' it's a total jem. Love your lessons!!! Great picker (and teacher). Thank you for sharing what you do.
