Lawrence Welk Show - We Can Make Music from 1973 - Lawrence Welk Hosts

My grandfather talked to me about this show once. Out of curiosity, I searched for an episode and found this one! Not only did I watch it, but I watched it with my grandfather. We both really enjoyed it! I hope we see more shows like this in the future someday! ❤️

Lawrence has fun shoes. Wonderful wardrobe and beautiful people singing and dancing and the instrumentals are impressive.

I don’t remember this specific episode, but I’m pretty sure I watched it with my parents. I was 17 when this aired.

PBS first aired it on July 30, 1988.

I actually attended a Welk concert. The Champagne Music Makers came to Spokane to entertain during Expo ‘74 and for some reason I was into the Welk show during high school. It was a good concert and I also remember some of the band touring the World’s Fair during the day. Lawerence actually turned that concert into a double LP, but I’m pretty sure he cheated and did it in the studio because the applause sounds a bit faked. Nevertheless he was the top entertainer for that time and I know that most of us in the audience went away pretty happy. While I continued to watch the Welk show after that concert, it didn’t get as high a viewing in the family because we found ourselves doing other things on Saturday nights. I caught wind of it being on PBS as edited episodes and watched a few, but it lost its appeal as a full program. But it gave Lawerence a chance to host the show in his twilight years and he actually did a better job than it appears. The show continues on with the Champagne Music Makers and Singers hosting adding their impressions of their time in the band. Unfortunately for me, my PBS station no longer carries it, although when they did air it, the audience ratings were really good for Saturday night programming. Hoping it’s still on somewhere because 35 plus years of videotape can provide for a lot of shows that Lawerence never would have thought of in the original show run.

I remember working in a nursing home in South Dakota back in the late 1990's. The residents LOVED to watch The Lawrence Welk Show. Apparently it's a midwestern thing?

[@dariowiter3078]

Nope, it's a generational thing. 🙂

@@dariowiter3078 Okay.

​@@dariowiter3078I just read that Lawrence was born in North Dakota, which would definitely explain why my residents who were from North and South Dakota always requested that show. I do know that my ex's residents here in the south never requested that show.

@@atlantic_love Welk's TV show was quite popular in the South from what I understand about that, especially since he featured country music on his program, but that's the first time I've heard of this.

[@Mrsakris]

Television in all its forms has certainly evolved over the past 80 years. In its first 25 years the formats were both simple and strictly enforced to have clean language.

The early 70s, for many reasons, were truly a strange time.One them is the bubblegum pink jackets the guys are wearing.

[@kavic1234]

Only good music left on TV, still watch it on PBS

[@zonawatkins3561]

Totally agree. Been watching on and off since 1955

That is some wonderful, corny stuff.

As a child, I thought Lawrence Welk's music was a form of torture. My grandparents would force us to watch in silence. Looking at it now, I still think it's pretty lame, but I understand why other people would like it. I prefer my entertainment with more edge.

[@StatisticsJason]

I was unusual perhaps as I loved it just as much as my grandparents. When the show started I would get all excited and start dancing "Bubbles, Bubbles!".

[@StatisticsJason]

Besides the music I love seeing how clean and wholesome everyone looked. That look has become taboo unfortunately.
