America On The Move
The year was 1975, America was crippled with gas shortages and a energy crisis...
Who cares? The Musical Family is on the move regardless, with a salute to transportation that first aired in syndication on November 1st of that year.
Great songs, such as "Red Sails in the Sunset", "Chattanooga Choo Choo" and "The Banana Boat Song" will keep your toes a tapping as you gotta travel on.
And since it's a mid-1970s show, it does feature the Semonski Sisters....which by the way today is Michelle Semonski's birthday (Happy Birthday Michelle!)
6. LAZY RIVER - the orchestra
7. ON THE ATCHISON, TOPEKA AND THE SANTA FE - Gail Farrell, Sandi Griffiths, Tanya Falan and Anacani
8. MEDLEY OF SONGS FROM THE SHOW "THE BAND WAGON" - orchestra
9. CUANTO LE GUSTA - The Semonski Sisters
10. CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO - sung and danced by Mary Lou Metzger and Jack Imel with Sandi, Gail and Ken
15. BY THE TIME I GET TO PHOENIX - Ava Barber
16. THE BANANA BOAT SONG - Dick Dale with Sandi Griffiths, Gail Farrell and Mary Lou Metzger
17. CHARLIE ON THE MTA - Ken Delo
18. THOSE MAGNIFICENT MEN IN THEIR FLYING MACHINES - Larry, Arthur, Bobby, Anacani, Joe, Tom, Tanya, Jimmy, Gail, Guy, Ralna, Mary Lou, Cissy, Norma with Bob Havens on trombone, percussion work by Jack Imel, Richard Maloof on tuba, Russ Klein on saxophone and Charlie Parlato on trumpet
Hoopie's number, "The Railroad Comes Through the Middle of the House" is a very cute and interesting number. As a youngster, I had dreams of if such a thing ever happened where I lived....most of the time as a nightmare.
It's very doubtful such a thing would happen today, the closest I would think if one would call a subway station his or her home.
Maybe they can actually give Charlie that nickel so he can finally get off that damn train.

EPISODE FACTS: Joe Feeney does not have a solo number, which is rare during his tenure on the show, he only appears in the show's closing number.
Hoopie's number, "The Railroad Comes Through the Middle of the House" is a very cute and interesting number. As a youngster, I had dreams of if such a thing ever happened where I lived....most of the time as a nightmare.
It's very doubtful such a thing would happen today, the closest I would think if one would call a subway station his or her home.

Every Welk fan as always asked, "How do the singers and musicians look so sharp and pretty?" during each episode?
The answer comes in two words.....Rose Weiss
The answer comes in two words.....Rose Weiss
She's been outfitting the Music Makers in threads that makes the men look handsome, the girls so pretty and all of them very colorful indeed!
Here are some examples....
And now, your Dancing With The Stars lineup for Season Nine
It's one of my favorite times of the year, Dancing With The Stars returns for Season Nine next month!
Here's the lineup announced yesterday on ABC's Good Morning America, let's just say the cast is well....interesting
It has everything, interesting stars, hot ballroom action and possibities of a train wreck, all in the name of entertainment! Coupled with the new season of Lawrence Welk shows and football, this will be my favorite time of the year and you know my DVR will be humming!

The Bob Havens T-Bone Exercise Workout Routine
Want to get in shape but regular exercise doesn't cut it for you?
From 1960, Bob Havens can show you how to play the trombone and feel the burn with the musical number "Tiger Rag" as he is joined by his friends Russ Klein, Don Bonnee and Jack Dumont from the Welk Orchestra!
Let's see Richard Simmons try that...
