Indiana
It's hard to believe that the concert at Bear Creek is already just a week ago....
To salute the fine folks from the Hoosier State (where Bear Creek Farms is located), I bring you, courtesy of Chris and YouTube, the Welk Orchestra from an episode of The Plymouth Show (a.k.a Top Tunes and New Talent) in 1959 playing a champagne version of "Indiana" featuring George Thow, Norman Bailey, Art Depew and Rocky Rockwell on trumpet!

Letters to a young Lawrence Welk
Have you ever been curious on how the Chicken Dance began?
I received a link to a great satirical article written by Matt Evans, it's about a young Lawrence Welk and his correspondence with Rainer Maria Rilke.
It's both very clever and funny!
I posted the link on my webpage's humor section, but I also posted the link here on this blog....just click below.

Bear Creek....the morning after
Back home again in Toledo, I'm just starting to re-adjust to reality after spending a whole day of fun at Bryant, Indiana's Bear Creek Farms!
Seeing the trio of Gail, Sandi and Mary Lou was fun....both the 2:00 and 7:30 shows were awesome!

This is just a sample of the pictures I took, I will be organizing and choose which of the best ones will go on my flagship webpage.
For now, I'll leave you with Mary Lou Metzger.....beautiful as always!

Bear Creek so far.....
This is what I call a Chamber of Commerce day in east central Indiana, sunny and not a cloud in the sky.
On may way to Bear Creek Farms, I just had to stop by and take this picture...
Now we go to the show....Gail, Sandi and Mary Lou were the featured performers, and in the 2:00 matinee....they looked and sounded great!

Tem minutes to the south, lies Portland.....hometown of music maker Jack Imel!
And this is downtown Portland.
Now we go to the show....Gail, Sandi and Mary Lou were the featured performers, and in the 2:00 matinee....they looked and sounded great!
Right now, I'm eating some dinner at the restaurant....getting ready for the 7:30 evening show and that should be fun!
More to come later

Twas the night before Bear Creek....
.....all throughout Toledo, which is very neat-o. I'm at work right now, just bloggin' and dreamin' of what's to come in the cornfields of Northeastern Indiana.....other than horses and cows.
Once I get back home tonight, the final preparations will be all set....tickets, camera, wardrobe and CDs of music while I drive. I'll also be blogging at Bear Creek....if they have WiFi.

Okay, that's enough of rhyming for now....I just know it's going to be a fun day tomorrow.
Now it's back to work, and catch some of the Dancing With The Stars finale on television.

Return of the Meryl Sisters
They're back....the Lawrence Welk Show on Saturday Night Live!
I was able to record SNL's season finale on my DVR, and they did not disappoint!
Once again, Fred Armisen did a brilliant job as the Maestro. The gang at 30 Rock did their own version of a popular Welk show theme "Springtime".
On tonight's show, it's Will Ferrell as handsome baritone Ted Nethers.....a cross between Steve Smith, Ken Delo, Tom Netherton and Jack Imel.
And of course....our favorite sister act from the Finger Lakes, the Meryl Sisters!
....which also includes Judis, baby doll hands and all.
Man, it was funny and entertaining....and talk about perfect timing. I'll be at Bear Creek on Wednesday to see Gail, Sandi and Mary Lou, maybe I'll ask them if they seen this episode.
