Every baby boomer remembers The Lawrence Welk Show on Saturday night. It was on the TV as my mom was getting dinner ready. My parents loved it.
Welk was a very talented musician and one of the most popular hosts ever. He understood his audience and gave them exactly what they wanted.
His song "Calcutta" was # 1 in 1961.
